Hush Little Piggy, Don't You Fry.....

Hush Little Piggy, Don't You Fry..... by Beth Anne Leach

A recent random search of the internet produced this little gem of a recipe – Pulled Pork Hushpuppies. And, really, can you ever get too much fried food? Ok, so the answer is yes, you CAN get too much fried food. Or, at least, that’s what my arteries are starting to tell me.But really, you know me, and clearly I have a serious problem…

Taking it to Another Level

Taking it to Another Level by Beth Anne Leach

You know I can’t just leave well enough alone. Nope. I can’t do it, its just not in me. I get an idea and I just have to run with it.Well, that’s what happened after I made two batches of biscotti last weekend. I just....couldn’t.....stop.Fortunately, there have been people who have gone before me that had the same budding idea I was…

Creamy Orzo with Peas for Presto Pasta Nights

Creamy Orzo with Peas for Presto Pasta Nights by Beth Anne Leach

I have been cooking with Giada DeLaurentiis for years, but until recently, I don’t think I realized how I seem to gravitate to her simple, yes tasty, pasta recipes. First I posted her Sciue Sciue, and now I am about to present her Creamy Orzo with Peas.I simply adore Orzo. It is one of my favorite pasta shapes. And, as with Sciue…

Because She Told Me I Had To

Because She Told Me I Had To by Beth Anne Leach

At which point, Mendi emphatically protested about my last post STILL being up on my blog.Clearly, I have been neglecting my foodie friends.Admittedly, my blog posts have taken a hit recently, as I have noticed a steep incline in the pressure I’ve been putting on my bathroom scale at home. And so, I’ve been cooking more for the hubs,…

Standing Over the Stove with a Spoon...

Standing Over the Stove with a Spoon... by Beth Anne Leach

...eating straight out of the pot.(see those beautiful little droplets of toasted sesame oil swimming around with the red pepper flakes? They look happy, don't they?)That’s how good this soup is. For about the last two months, I have had a very insistent craving for Chinese food. Or Thai. Or Vietnamese. Pretty much anything spicy…

That's Amore!

That's Amore! by Beth Anne Leach

What are we doing this year? I have no idea. We keep bringing the subject up and neither one of us has made a suggestion. We have lost track of whose turn it is, and with the big day being on a Monday this year, we have to try and decide which day we are going to celebrate. So far, all we know is that it is not going to be this…

Linguine with Olives and Breadcrumbs

Linguine with Olives and Breadcrumbs by Beth Anne Leach

After my weekend of “whining” and dinning my Valentine (otherwise known as Little Man), I was looking for a nice, simple supper to fix last night. Just such a dish came to me, care of Giada de Laurentiis and her Spaghetti with Olives and Breadcrumbs. Spaghetti? Olives, you say? Two of my favorite things! And it doesn’t hurt that I…

Old Man Winter – get the heck out!!!

Old Man Winter – get the heck out!!! by Beth Anne Leach

Yessir....the weather around here is a-changin’..... and I love it! I am not a winter person to begin with, and I tried very hard this winter to NOT complain about the cold and the snow. Every time the ground would get covered in white, I’d say, “It could be worse. At least we’re not having ice storms like back in ’06. I’ll take this…

Dark Chocolate Bacon Jalapeño Bars

Dark Chocolate Bacon Jalapeño Bars by Beth Anne Leach

There is an idea that has been brewing in the back of my culinary consciousness for quite awhile now. It’s a simple idea, really, a combination of flavors that makes total sense (at least in my mind). There is only one problem. It calls for bacon.Problem? You don’t think that’s a problem? Well then you must live alone.See, in my…
