First chocolate chip scones this morning, and now these?

No wonder I’m out of chocolate chips!

You can see my guest post – and this recipe – over at She’s Becoming Doughmesstic today.

But don’t say I didn’t warn you.

These are, by far, the best baked good to come out of my oven. Ever.

Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Scones

March 30, 2011
IMG_1953

Over the past year, Nick and I have fallen in love with the scones at Our Daily Bread, a local bakery in town. I’ve tried a few of their flavors, but Nick always gets their chocolate chip. It looks more like what I think of as a “traditional” scone: wedge shaped, sprinkled with sugar, and [...]

Finding the Good

I had such a serious post planned for tonight. I thought of the topic during my lunch break and made sure to write it down so I wouldn’t forget. But then I came home and saw this – and this – and I decided that heavy post can wait. Spring is blossoming all around us, [...]

Smoky Bean and Tomato Soup

I know it’s almost April and hot soup weather is on its way out of here, but we’ve been struck by a cold spell again this week. All the snow we got yesterday has already melted, but it’s still windy and cold outside which means it’s the perfect time for one last batch of spicy [...]

Spring Dreams

So, today is March 28th. Almost April, which means spring should be getting here full force. But it’s not. In fact, it is currently snowing. I am not okay with this. I’m ready for warm weather, blossoming trees, blooming flowers! To help keep me from getting into a winter weather slump today, I thought I’d [...]

Best Meal of My Life, So Far

March 27, 2011
IMG_2025

Remember the best meal of my life that I had last year? The chefs and staff completely blew past last year’s meal last night. In the meantime, I’m going through over 500 pictures from the two-night event, reading Chef Scheib’s book, prepping healthy foods for the week, and I just pulled what might be the [...]

Chocolate Dipped Almond Butter Cookies

I think my Thursdays are cursed. The past 4 or 5 weeks have been mostly good weather, but each Thursday has been gloomy and rainy and gray. And because I work from home on Thursdays, I usually have the chance to bake something during my lunch hour. When it rains, I want one thing: cookies. [...]

Poppyseed Chicken Casserole

IMG_1859

So, we’ve made homemade cream of mushroom soup – and, if you didn’t just eat it all by itself – you’ll have just enough to make this Poppyseed Chicken Casserole. Just a few months before I got married, some friends (and my future sister-in-law) at my college threw me a bridal shower. One gift I [...]

Changes Lately

March 23, 2011
IMG_1934

I don’t think I’ve mentioned it on here, but Nick and I only have basic cable in our new house. With the change in house payment (huge difference from our old place) and the other little increases (power, water, heat for a bigger space), cable was one of the few places we could actually cut [...]

Homemade Cream of Mushroom Soup

March 23, 2011
IMG_1851

Some days, I can barely get a meal on the table. And other days, I try my best to be a little Betty Crocker in the kitchen: making things from scratch, wearing a cute apron, humming while standing over a bubbling pot of soup, kicking one heel up while opening the oven door. I usually [...]

Java Chip Cookies

March 22, 2011
IMG_1730

Take a good look at this cookie recipe because I think the rest of this week will be savory recipes – definitely not a normal occurrence here, but I’m enjoying it! And…there’s already a few more cookie recipes to share later anyway. I can’t stay away from baking cookies when I live with a cookie [...]
