A recipe blog with my favorite recipes
It’s been 8 years since I first made Alton Brown’s Plain Ole’ Brownies (as part of my 365 Recipe Challenge). I’ve often felt that, although I attempted the brownies two or three times, I didn’t quite do them justice.* So I finally tried them again.
This Slow Cooker Southwestern Bean and Barley Soup is a delicious and easy vegetarian meal. It’s been too long since I made it, and I’m so glad I tried it again! I originally wrote about this recipe in 2010 – it was #337 of my […]
This delicious Sour Cream Coffee Cake was one of my favorite recipes of 2010. It was #74 of my 365 recipe challenge that year. I made it a few more times while we still lived in Illinois, but I began to focus on trying other […]

This is probably my favorite thing to make with cabbage. I don’t love cabbage, but I’d make it again. (I suppose I do love bacon and potatoes.) It’s actually supposed to be Potato Torte with Cabbage, Bacon, and Cheddar, but since I don’t like cheese, […]
