Mixing it Up - Bittman Style!

Mixing it Up - Bittman Style! by Beth Anne Leach

Mixing it Up - Bittman Style!Even as much as I adore grilling in the summer, I still manage to get in a rut for ideas on what to make. I mean, really, how many different ways can you grill a chicken breast, right? I do love the larger cuts like brisket and ribs, and so forth, but those time-consuming items are reserved for Sundays…

Oreo Truffles

Oreo Truffles by Beth Anne Leach

Every once in awhile, the hubs actually comes home with a request for a specific food item. Since it is so rare to get this kind of input, I always do my best to make it happen. In this case, he was working a job in Granite City and he got to know one of the plant personnel pretty well. She is very interested in cooking and all things…

Lime Blueberry Tiramisu

Lime Blueberry Tiramisu by Beth Anne Leach

Sometimes people surprise me.I have always enjoyed Paula Deen. Reading her books, watching her shows, even meeting her in person at a book signing. But I have to admit, I don’t make a lot of her recipes. Frankly, they tend to be too fatty for me, and use a lot of prepared food items.Boy was I surprised to see that it was a recipe from…

Thai Beef Short Ribs

Thai Beef Short Ribs by Beth Anne Leach

Thai Beef Short RibsAs you all know, it is one of my biggest pet peeves that I can’t get a wide variety of ingredients locally, because of where I live. I often have to drive an hour or more to get to a store that carries what I want. Every once in awhile, though, I am pleasantly surprised by something I find at the grocery store. I…

I Never Claimed to be Queen of the 'Que

I Never Claimed to be Queen of the 'Que by Beth Anne Leach

I Never Claimed to be Queen of the 'QueOf the many recurring themes I touch on in this little blog, is the fact that I live in a house of picky eaters. My husband simply refuses to eat anything that even remotely resembles a healthy meal (or, for that matter, anything ethnic or with flavors he is unaccustomed to), and unfortunately,…

Movie Night! For I Heart Cooking Clubs

Movie Night! For I Heart Cooking Clubs by Beth Anne Leach

The first thing I think of when I hear the words “Movie Night” usually have to do with popcorn, but I just couldn’t find a Bittman recipe involving popcorn that interested me. However, on the same page as “Buttered Popcorn” in How to Cook Everything, I found a recipe for spiced nuts. Roasted. Sautéed. Spiced. Buttered..... I did a…

Grilled Pork Chops with Chili Maple Glaze

Grilled Pork Chops with Chili Maple Glaze by Beth Anne Leach

I originally found this recipe online as a stove top variation on a Bon Appetit recipe. I’d quote the source (if I could find it) but I’ve taken creative license and have adapted it even further. Since I received a new grill from the hubs for Mothers Day, I’ve wanted nothing more than to grill everything in sight. So, when I pulled…

Ode to (Papa) Joy

Ode to (Papa) Joy by Beth Anne Leach

Once upon a time, many moons (ok, weeks) ago, I wrote a little blog post about neck bones and gravy.Who would have guessed what a stir it would cause!! As it turns out, more than a few people I know have a strong opinion on the subject. There are a couple of my friends who couldn’t fathom the concept at all (and the idea of eating…

Loafing Around....

Loafing Around.... by Beth Anne Leach

This is going to be a quick post with just a couple of pictures, but I think the gorgeous round loaves speak for themselves. I will say that we had a little trouble getting the dough to proof with the weather being fickle last weekend, so the bowl with the dough in it spent a little time on the warm dashboard of Ginny's car, and then…
