My son often drinks milk alternatives, and I have on occasion as well. I have never tried cooking with these products before, as I somehow thought that it wouldn't work the same as milk in a recipe. Boy, was I wrong! I was asked to create a recipe using Blue Diamond Almond Breeze almond milk, and I gladly said, "yes". I am always up for a … [Read more...]
Chicken Mole Enchiladas I think Mole Sauce is one of those things that you either like, don't like or haven't tried yet. The first time I was introduced to it, I was slightly frightened. In case you aren't familiar with mole (pronounced MO-LAY), it is a sauce made with peppers, chocolate and a few other ingredients (there are several different … [Read more...]

I needn't worry any longer - I have found Char Crust! Char Crust has taken the … [Read more...]

When the weather is cold and icky outside, I love to make comfort food, and I love to use recipes that incorporate things that my mom cooked. As part of the Swanson Blogging … [Read more...]
Cooking with Coke! I have heard of other people cooking with Coke before, but I have never tried it myself. Until now. When I told my family that I was going to be making a recipe using Coca Cola, I got a variety of strange looks. I assured them that it would be tasty and that "lots of people do it!". I figured if nothing else, it will make for … [Read more...]
What is on your Easter menu? Each year we have ham. I love it! We might be a little less traditional than most families with our menu though. It's just us so no need to get too fancy. This year we are having thyme-basted ham with roasted grapes, asparagus, a seven layer salad, and yeast rolls. As I typed that my stomach growled a bit. Let's start … [Read more...]
