Spicy Curried Turkey Noodle Soup
On November 30, 2011
I usually don’t make anything with Thanksgiving leftovers. I don’t mean they go in the trash, I mean we eat the same meal for breakfast, lunch, and dinner until the food is gone (which usually takes a few days around here.) In years past, it’s been just my husband and I to devour [...]
Make Ahead Monday: Mulled Apple Cider
On November 28, 2011
I think I’ve said before that one of the things I really love about living here is the availability of such great juices. You can get a “mocktail” that is out of this world. Lemon/mint juice anyone? Fresh pineapple and watermelon spritzer? Yes please! Oh, I get off [...]
Turkey Stock
On November 27, 2011
This post was supposed to be a guest post by my husband featuring his wonderful Thanksgiving turkey but I think we’ve both just awoken from our turkey comas, and he unfortunately awoke with a cold. But I had planned on making stock from the left over turkey carcass anyway. In most of my [...]
Sweet Potato and Eggnog Ice Cream
On November 23, 2011
Turkey Day is tomorrow and I am so exhausted excited. My husband always does the turkey; I usually do most of the side dishes. Our menu for Thanksgiving and Christmas is usually the same every year, but we had to do a bit of modifying. We used to have an oil-less deep fryer that he [...]
Make-Ahead Monday: Southwestern Salisbury Steak
On November 21, 2011
With Thanksgiving quickly approaching I’ve been trying to avoid shopping for groceries other than what’s planned for the big meal, and instead making due with what we already have in the freezer. A while back my husband bought a big bag of premade hamburger patties when he found them on sale. Back in the [...]
Best Delivery Food Ever!
On November 18, 2011
I haven’t been posting as much lately because a friend and I have taken up a new “venture” so to speak. One day we both found we make our daughter’s hair accessories and decied to get together to make them. Well, lately I’ve been up to my elbows in hair bows. Take [...]
Make-Ahead Monday: Lasagna Stew
On November 15, 2011
Once again my husband was away on business and I’ve mentioned before that when he’s gone I take the opportunity to try a recipe that I know he would not want to try. When I saw this recipe for lasanga soup by Liz on
Jack Johnson Banana Pancakes
On November 13, 2011
Although Bahrain is a relatively small island, we spend a lot of time in the car because traffic can be very heavy. Back in the States, car rides used to mean a bit of personal time for me. The kids were happy to look out the window or maybe watch a video (yes, [...]
Make-Ahead Monday: Jambalaya Casserole
On November 9, 2011
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know it’s Wednesday when I’m posting this “make ahead Monday” dish. To be honest, I’ve been so busy playing catch up that we’ve been ordering delivery from our favorite kabob place more than I’ve been cooking. But better late than never, right? I’m going to keep this post short [...]
BaNilla Cookies with Nutella
On November 6, 2011
It’s 8:58 and I’m sitting on the computer checking email, Facebook, reading blogs etc when I notice the time. Every day, like clockwork, at 9:00 the kids start asking, no, start begging for snacks. They act as if it’s been so long since breakfast that they just may die of starvation if [...]
