White-chocolate Browned-Butter Beauties (aka Blondies).

White-chocolate Browned-Butter Beauties (aka Blondies). by Kate Bailey

(My apologies for the lack of photos, but I am working solely off my Droid until I can get an issue with my blasted Internet resolved. Try the recipe anyway, and let me know how you like it! Maybe even with photos. :) )I have a thing for browned-butter confections with white chocolate chips, so I find it hard to believe that I’ve…

Never buy yogurt again.

Never buy yogurt again. by Kate Bailey

The reason why? Right before Christmas, Cullen’s aunt bought me a Deni yogurt maker. It was quite exciting, though I had strict self-deprecating thoughts about never using it (uni-tasker), and not needing it because I could just make yogurt at home on the stove and use a Crockpot or double towels for insulation… But you know, I don’t…

Spectacular, astounding, delightful peanut butter cookies.

Spectacular, astounding, delightful peanut butter cookies. by Kate Bailey

On Monday, I had a serious craving for chocolate and peanut butter. I’m talking life-altering, here – if I didn’t fulfill the craving before the end of the day, my son would surely kick his way out of my abdomen and go find some on his own. As ever, I turned to the Internet, and it didn’t fail me. A one-bowl recipe with less than 10…

Grilled honey-soy chicken.

Grilled honey-soy chicken. by Kate Bailey

With the temperatures as high as they have been lately, it’s been an ideal time for getting your grill on. It’s just not as satisfying to stand around a grill with a heavy jacket and skullcap, as it is to hang around in a tank top and shorts. At least, it’s not as satisfying to me. The other night, chicken was on the menu, but the…

Mint Chip Ice Cream in the Quest for the Best

Mint Chip Ice Cream in the Quest for the Best by Kate Bailey

Image ©Graeter’s 2009The other night, Cullen decided it was time for a treat. I had been hurting all day from the kid’s positioning, and we’d been pretty busy out of necessity. We went to Kroger for some lazy supper items, and splurged on a pint of Graeter’s mint chip ice cream. If you’re unfamiliar with Graeter’s, they’re one of the…

Mustard potato salad (a Southern-type recipe)

Mustard potato salad (a Southern-type recipe) by Kate Bailey

There are not so many variations in potato salad (that I’m aware of), but there are loyalist fanatics to the versions I’m aware of: the “classic” mayo base, the mustard base, the vinegar base, and of course, the German and Dutch variations. I’m sure there are plenty more out there, given the prevalence of potatoes in the world, but…

Chicken enchilada casserole.

Chicken enchilada casserole. by Kate Bailey

Two months of adjusting to life with a baby attached to me more often than not, and I think I may be getting the hang of it. (Tip: Don’t get too used to any “normal” – just roll with it.) To be honest, Little Man isn’t that much of a hassle in everyday life, although breastfeeding every 2-3 hours definitely creates a schedule I have…

Real chicken pot pie.

Real chicken pot pie. by Kate Bailey

Not your average pot pie found in the freezer section, this is even better because you can decide what goes into it. If you prefer a biscuit topping, you can use one – homemade or canned. If you don’t like carrots, or peas, or corn, then leave them out. If you’d like to have peppers, more garlic, parsnips, broccoli – the list goes on…

No Yeast Required Cinnamon Rolls

No Yeast Required Cinnamon Rolls by Kate Bailey

I’m not sure I fall under the category of “normal” pregnancy. Yes, I’m hungry often, but not for weird food combinations (any weirder than usual, anyway, if you ask my husband – who else eats ketchup on scrambled eggs?), or really for anything in particular. Except for sushi. I am all about some sushi. But anyway. I don’t really want…

Quick and Easy Cream of Broccoli Soup

Quick and Easy Cream of Broccoli Soup by Kate Bailey

Seriously, the title doesn’t lie. This soup takes only slightly less time than opening a can o’ soup and heating it up; even better, it tastes a thousand times better and doesn’t have the host of ingredients that stuff with the red and white label does, in addition to doing away with the allergens in that soup in a can. Did you know…
