Getting’ Naked!

Getting’ Naked! by Beth Anne Leach

We have a new chef over at I Heart Cooking Clubs this week. That’s right, its our first date with Jamie Oliver. I have always enjoyed watching Jamie, and I find his effervescent style very refreshing (pun entirely intended). I’m not sure how well we will get along over the next six months of cooking together though, as so very few of…

Mocha Crunch Bars

Mocha Crunch Bars by Beth Anne Leach

I am always on the lookout for things that I can snack on at work that don’t come from a bag or a wrapper. Since I sit at a computer all day, I do at least attempt to eat on the healthier side, although that rarely seems to happen.I recently ran across this recipe over at a friend's blog (and yes, I'm terrible, I can't remember where!…

Once Upon a Time....

Once Upon a Time.... by Beth Anne Leach

....In a land far, far away.... Ginny and I made this pasta.I honestly can’t remember what brought this dish to our roster of culinary delights, except for maybe that it is a Jacques Pepin recipe and Ginny loves to watch Jacques. So, there, that’s probably it.I have one thing to say about this pasta (okay, you got me, I definitely…

Time to Make the Gelato!

Time to Make the Gelato! by Beth Anne Leach

A year. Truly...its been a YEAR.That’s right, a year ago, the Ciao Bella Book of Gelato and Sorbetto was published and I got my greedy little hands on a copy just as fast as I could. And I was determined to make a new batch of gelato every week over the summer.How many did I make?I know, I’m a terrible slacker, but really, it was…

(CHILI CHEESE) FRITO and BACON BRITTLE

(CHILI CHEESE) FRITO and BACON BRITTLE by Beth Anne Leach

I’m kind of a freak. Have you figured that out yet?Yes? Good. Because you may need to put a little faith in me for this post.Don’t even ask me where I got this idea.....it would probably take us down roads that are better left untraveled. Sometimes my mind works in mysterious....and moderately disturbing....ways.I’m not even going to…

Ahhhh..... SAKE!

Ahhhh..... SAKE! by Beth Anne Leach

Ok, so by Sunday, I was starting to get a little punchy. It was, after all, a very busy weekend. You wouldn't know that to look at the pathetically small number of items that have been crossed off my "to-do" list, but I guarantee you, I was moving the whole timeIt was actually a long weekend for me, thanks (no-thanks) to a doctor…

Egg Noodles....They Aren't Just for Soup Anymore

Egg Noodles....They Aren't Just for Soup Anymore by Beth Anne Leach

I have a habit of picking up ingredients that interest me, and then hoarding them in my pantry, never to be seen again.Do you do this?Am I the only one?I am constantly finding random ingredients in my pantry that I had forgotten about, and generally, they go right back in, because I don’t have any ideas of what to do with…

White....White....Christmas....

White....White....Christmas.... by Beth Anne Leach

Welcome back, everyone! I had myself a nice, LONG, holiday break. That's not to say I didn't cook while I was gone, I just stayed off the computer. Meanwhile, in the Land of Lincoln, we had a gorgeous WHITE Christmas, and it was the perfect kind, too. You know. The kind that comes down all day Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, and then…

Nanner, nanner bo bander, fee fie fo-fander, me, my mo-mander...POMAAANDER. by Beth Anne Leach

What was that? How very “adolescent” of me? Yeah, I know I am, but what are you?Okay, so I admit I’m a little slap happy today. See, as I am wont to do every couple of years, I have just given up caffeine. And its beginning to show. Its been a long day…

To Biscotti, or not to Biscotti. Hmmm. TWO BISCOTTI!

To Biscotti, or not to Biscotti. Hmmm. TWO BISCOTTI! by Beth Anne Leach

Apparently my mind has yet to comprehend the word “diet”. I introduced myself to the word sometime around January 1, 2011. As of yet, I have not stopped baking. I do have an excuse, though, I promise.See, about a year (or so) ago, I promised someone I work with that I would make them some special biscotti. I did. I promised. And then…
