Western Fritatta
On April 23, 2012
Do you ever dream about food? I do. All the time. The last dream I had, I was on the set of Cooking for Real with Sunny Anderson. She told me to make a dish with what she had in her kitchen and all I remember seeing was bell peppers. So I [...]
Orange Scented Cinnamon Roll Bread
On March 24, 2012
Sometimes I swear this is what I say all day long: No; can you say please; no; don’t jump on that; no; do you need to go potty; no; you need to share; no. If I had a dime for every time I uttered those words…I’d have a lot of dimes!
This week, “Do need [...]
Make-Ahead Monday: Pink Monster Smoothies
On February 6, 2012
Green Monster Smoothies have been floating around the blog world for some time. I’ve seen them, book marked them, then thought, “Sounds great, but they day my kids would drink something green is the day pigs fly.”
Well, one day last week there must have been an airborne pig somewhere [...]
I Heart Nutella Pancakes
On February 5, 2012
Happy World Nutella Day! Ok, depending on your time zone, the clock may not have struck midnight yet, but here in Arabia, Nutella day is in full swing.
I’ve been trying to decide what to make to celebrate this glorious day. Should I make another batch of
Make Ahead Monday: Breakfast Taquitos
On January 16, 2012
I owe my marriage to the UFC. Yes, you read that right. My husband and I met one night after I was getting off of work and decided to join some of my co-workers for drinks at a small bar around the corner. My husband was already seated at the bar, which was [...]
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, [...]
Birdie Granola Bars
On October 19, 2011
This week was our turn to host our playschool group and the theme was birds. Everything centered around birds, the songs, the crafts, stories, the games, and of course, the snack. I served pretzels as the twigs birds use to make their nests, julienned carrots and cucumber to be the worms birds pull from the [...]
Banana Biscuits with Cranberry Compote
On October 2, 2011
I know what you’re thinking: I thought the title of this post was Banana Biscuits, not Banana Muffins?! Well I had quite a hard time with it; in fact I’ve spent all morning trying to decide what to call these banana things. You see, it all started when [...]
French Fridays with Dorie: Honey-Spiced Madeleines
On September 23, 2011
I debated making this week’s FFwD recipe just because I knew we were going to be eating cake all weekend on account of my husband’s birthday. However, I already felt like a Dorie slacker because I didn’t make last Friday’s Cinnamon-Crunch Chicken. I looked for the cinnamon cookies she used to “crunchify” the chicken [...]
Nutella and Banana Bread
On September 20, 2011
Recently I found out about a grocery service that delivers. Great, sometimes going to the store with two kids in tow is not fun (wait, did I say sometimes, I really meant every time) so having my groceries brought right to my door seems like a win-win. I can shop at my leisure, [...]
