Welshing on the Rabbit becomes Welsh Wabbit

Welshing on the Rabbit becomes Welsh Wabbit by Barbara Kiebel

I’ve watched a couple of my friends participate in a unique monthly event called a Recipe Swap. Each month they are given a recipe to start from and their challenge is to ‘swap’ out some of the ingredients to make the end result their own personal and updated take on the original recipe. It sounded fun and creative and I loved seeing…

Lemon Cheesecake – Another Best, Really.

Lemon Cheesecake – Another Best, Really. by Barbara Kiebel

After another week of making what I consider the ‘best of’ something this month I have to wonder what has come over me. I did not set out to do a ‘Best of’ series but it’s happened nonetheless. Maybe it’s the bit of melancholy I feel in the fall that has me thinking of foods that I love? I really don’t know but think I will plan ahead…

Cocoa, Cayenne and Espresso Roasted Walnuts for #HappyHourFriday by Barbara Kiebel

As soon as I saw Jen Schall at My Kitchen Addiction post a recipe for almonds with a crispy coating that included cocoa, I knew I would be using that recipe as inspiration for my own appetizer for this week. I used to be all pecans all the time but…

Hot Slaw, Bacon and Cheese Sandwich for #Recipe Swap

Hot Slaw, Bacon and Cheese Sandwich for #Recipe Swap by Barbara Kiebel

Cream of Mushroom Soup with White Wine and Leeks by Barbara Kiebel

Cream of Mushroom Soup with White Wine and LeeksI could wax poetic about the fall season; how the crisp, cool air lends itself to thoughts of those warm, comfort foods that just seem perfect for this season. How there is something about soup that warms not just our bellies but our soul. Oh, I know, I know…I could tell a lovely story…

Smoked Baby Back Ribs with Espresso Barbecue Sauce and a #Giveaway

Smoked Baby Back Ribs with Espresso Barbecue Sauce and a #Giveaway by Barbara Kiebel

I know. I grill a lot. If given the option, I will do almost anything on the grill in lieu of turning on my oven or even the stove. I have grilled in a winter jacket and boots during a driving snow storm. Beyond the requisite beef, pork, chicken and…
