United States Chef

	I'm Still Here.... by Krista Tonight, while I was preparing dinner, my husband asked, "When was the last time you posted on your blog?" Hmmm. Good question. I honestly couldn't remember. (It was a week ago, by the way).It's true, I've been a total slacker when it comes to this blog. Between our summer activities and all of the lawn and garden work we've been…	1 vote 236 views

	Bananas Foster Bread by Krista Hello, friends! I realize that my posts have been sporadic this summer. Weekend trips, visits to and from family, and all of our summer activities are keeping us extra busy! I baked this delicious Bananas Foster Bread to share with my sister when she visited with her 3 young sons this week (ages 5, 3, and 6 weeks). I figured the least…	1 vote 320 views
	Thai Shrimp Curry by Krista If you've been reading my blog for long, then it's no secret that I love Thai food. Thai is one of my favorite cuisines. When I found this recipe for Thai Halibut-Shrimp Curry in the April edition of Bon Appetit magazine, I knew the dish would make it's way onto our meal plan (Although I have failed to post our weekly meal plan lately…	1 vote 308 views
	Old-Fashioned Rhubarb Pudding Cake by Krista My parents brought along a bag of rhubarb on their visit a couple of weeks ago. Yay! I'm always on the lookout for new rhubarb recipes. I collect them in a file folder that stays tucked in between my cookbooks until I pull it out each Spring when rhubarb is in season. It's always a dilemma to decide which recipe to try first when I…	1 vote 421 views
	How to Freeze Asparagus by Krista By some great stroke of luck, I ended up with 7-8 pounds of Michigan asparagus this year. I brought home the first 4 pounds after a May visit with my family in Indiana. Our little family enjoyed it in salads and stir-fries, grilled, and steamed. Then my parents came to visit a couple of weekends ago and my mom brought her portion of…	1 vote 493 views
	Our Garden and Summer Squash with Noodles by Krista A dream of mine was realized tonight when we finished planting our first garden. While house hunting last fall, one of our criteria was a lawn big enough for the kids to run and play with room for garden. Well, we moved into our new home in February and now we finally have a garden!My family raised a big garden every summer. I have…	1 vote 623 views
	Spectacular Sun-Dried Tomato Pasta Sauce by Krista I found this super-hearty, intensely-flavored, crock pot pasta sauce in the April/May edition of Taste of Home magazine.Most crock pot recipes are simple "dump and cover" recipes. This one is a little different. It requires chopping and browning and lots of ingredients. While this sauce is not the typical, no-fuss, crock pot recipe…	1 vote 444 views
	Where I've Been All Weekend plus Texas Sheet Cake and Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream by Krista I was flattered when Julie from The Sporadic Cook wrote me last week to ask if I would be the featured "7 Sporadic Questions" blogger this month. When I have time to read other blogs (which never seems to happen lately), The Sporadic Cook is one of the…	1 vote 1765 views
	Spicy Pork with Asparagus and Chile by Krista As for the rest of the asparagus, we've steamed it for a side dishes, blanched and chilled it for a snack, and I even found a cool idea for shaving raw asparagus with a vegetable peeler and making it into a salad. I've made 2 salads this way and have not remembered to take a picture, so if you're a fan of asparagus, definitely check…	1 vote 370 views
