Spaghetti with Green Garlic and Olive Oil

Spaghetti with Green Garlic and Olive Oil by The Mom Chef

I admit it; we are pasta hounds. We love it any way we can get it. Dudette's most requested dish is "that pasta with bacon in it," translated to spaghetti alla carbonara. So, yes, when I see a pasta dish, especially one that utilizes bacon, I gravitate towards making it. Ok, I run full force in its direction. You get my drift. Making…

Green Curry Chicken with Carrots and Cabbage

Green Curry Chicken with Carrots and Cabbage by The Mom Chef

What I didn't read prior to making the dish above was a description of the four main Thai curry paste types.

It consists of chopped…

Key Lime Pound Cake by The Mom Chef

Have you ever seen a recipe in a magazine that looked so good you bought said magazine for just that one dish? Have you ever then made that one dish and been sorely disappointed, almost the the point of vowing never to buy that magazine again? Well, this isn't the case with this cake. Sorry for that, but it's pretty hard to create…

Peach-Pecan Muffins

Peach-Pecan Muffins by The Mom Chef

Spring break in North Carolina. Yesterday it was snowing and today the sun is shining and the temperatures are headed into the 60's. That abrupt change is similar to what goes on in our house during spring break. Dudette, who usually sleeps until I have to wake her so she'll be ready to leave for preschool on time, is suddenly popping…
