	Lemon Cupcakes by Krista After the delicious lemon cookies that I baked last week, I stil had some leftover lemons and lemon drops. I decided that my contribution to the Easter dessert table would be lemon cupcakes. A quick online search for lemon cupcakes turned up this Lemon Drop Cupcake recipe on the Better Homes and Gardens website. With the frosting…	1 vote 909 views
	Mushroom Risotto with Peas by Krista I totally dig risotto. The creamy Italian rice dish is so versatile. You can add any number of ingredients and flavors and it makes for a perfect side dish or a filling main course. I haven't prepared a risotto in my kitchen since October, so when I saw Beth's post about Arancini di Riso on her blog The Seventh Level of Boredom, I…	1 vote 329 views
	Arancini di Riso by Krista Seriously, the Arancini di Riso (which I will refer to as "risotto balls" or just "balls" for the remainder of this post because I'm not even sure how to pronounce "Arancini" and I have to keep checking the spelling every time I type it.) is a great way to use up leftover risotto. These were kind of like a cross between a hush puppy…	1 vote 417 views
	Meal Plan and Grocery List 4/18- 4/24 by Krista I'm back to meal planning this week. It's time to get back into the groove after a few weeks off. I had no idea that our Spring would be so busy! Really, I'm just easing back into meal planning. I only needed to plan 3 dinners (+ 1 night of leftovers) this week since it's a holiday week and we have plans for 3 dinners away from…	1 vote 586 views
	Chicken with Rosemary-Onion Sauce by Krista I've had this simple baked chicken recipe from the February/March 2007 edition of Light & Tasty magazine bookmarked for some time. The woman who submitted the recipe to the magazine wrote, "This is a perfect dish to serve guests because it tastes like you fussed."I loved the fact that the sauce was perfectly creamy and loaded with…	1 vote 272 views
	Stocking Your Freezer by Krista My last post was a week ago. In truth, we've been so busy since returning from vacation that I haven't had the time to write a meal plan or even make a big shopping trip. So, what have we been eating? Not fast food or carryout. I've been pulling meals from my freezer. And I don't mean Lean Cuisine or Stouffer's either. We've been…	1 vote 871 views
	Field Trip: Harvey's Citrus Grove in Rockledge, Florida and Jalapeno Pepper Jelly by Krista We returned home from our Spring Break trip to Florida late on Sunday night. I need to go to the grocery store, but I've been busy unpacking and doing laundry instead. In the absence of fresh ingredients, I've been heating up meals that I prepared and…	1 vote 285 views
	DIY: Sushi at Home by Krista Since we are stuck in a traffic jam just north of the South Carolina line on our way home from Spring Break 2011, I figured that this is a perfect time to write about the sushi that my husband and I made in our very own kitchen a few weeks ago. Gotta love the wireless notebook!I always thought that I'd like to make my own sushi, but I…	1 vote 615 views
	Miniature Tiramisu Cupcakes by Krista Before I begin writing about these pretty lil' cupcakes....In this post, you will notice that I provide links to some of the products I used to make this recipe. If you click on the link, it will take you to a detailed view of that item on my personal Pampered Chef website. In February, I became a Pampered Chef consultant. It just…	1 vote 702 views
	Tomato Gnocchi in Broccoli Pesto Sauce by Krista Comfort food! These soft little tomato dumplings, swimming in pesto cream sauce, certainly fit into my definition of comfort food. My family truly enjoyed this recipe. Bonus: I got a serving of veggies into them without a single complaint!Gnocchi are pretty simple to make, you just start by boiling a pound of peeled and quartered…	1 vote 342 views
