Grilled Lime & Cilantro Cauliflower

By Kristin on April 24, 2012 1 Comment

I'm not sure where I saw it, but I saw a recipe for grilled cauliflower. I tucked it in my mind in the "try later" file. I decided to make my man take notice, the other night with an Espresso Maple Short Rib dinner and paired those lip smacking num nums with Grilled Lime & Cilantro Cauliflower. Oh my! I could eat these sliced florets in place of steak! They were super easy to make.

Lemon Squares Made by Baker Boy

By Kristin on April 17, 2012 3 Comments

Did you know what you wanted to be when you grew up? What was it? Are you that person today? Raising 5 kids, I find that whole thing fascinating. As a parent, you see certain inclinations in your kids when they are young and you wonder, "Should I nurture that? Should I let it develop naturally?" I have kind of landed on doing both. My second son, AKA Baker Boy, loved food from day 1! How did I know when he was a nursing infant? Because, he wanted to nurse 24/7! My mom loves recalling the story when I called her in tears and … [Read more...]

Espresso Maple Short Rib Recipe

By Kristin on April 11, 2012 1 Comment

Disclaimer: This recipe will make your man take notice. (Usually Devon makes the meat in this house. But, I wanted to surprise him, so I whipped out my pseudo-ninja-culinary skills, pulled out all I've learned from watching him and created a BBQ recipe that made him take notice.) Some days, the juices are just flowing. I've seen Devon get into the ZONE many a times. But, my zone tends to be just outta reach. Tonight, I stepped into it....or maybe just harnessed his zone. I created an Espresso Maple Short Rib Recipe that made … [Read more...]

Coffee Cake Bosses

By Kristin on April 5, 2012 3 Comments

I have two gingers, as they like to call themselves. The oldest, Baker, likes to refer to Little Man as "mini me". They are two peas in a pod separated by 9 years. They spent a few hours yesterday watching Cake Boss, one of their favorite shows, then decided to make their own coffee cake. Baker takes control in the kitchen. Like his dad, he loves it there. He's talked about going to culinary school and one day, opening his own bakery. He chose a Buttermilk Coffee Cake recipe out of the Advantium cookbook. I stood back and took … [Read more...]

Mexican Rice Recipe

By Chris Ann on March 27, 2012 3 Comments

Kristin and I must have the record on guests that play hostesses to us in our own homes! Kristin's friend Terrill routinely washes her dishes and throws in some laundry and brings gifts to her kitchen. And, when I have friends over, they tend to wind up cooking in the kitchen with us as well. Our friends Doris and Elyse recently were in town and they got busy in my kitchen in no time. This was the same night as Kristin and I had scheduled our LIVE CHAT! Can you believe they set the table, helped my kiddos make cookies … [Read more...]

Moroccan Chicken in the GE Advantium

By Kristin on March 6, 2012 Leave a Comment

I made this recipe in my GE Profile™ Advantium® oven the other day. I think it was around 5 pm and I realized I hadn't planned a thing for dinner. I'd like to say this was not normal, but with five kids, homeschooling 3 of them, carpooling the other 2, gymnastics, baseball, etc...dinner tends to get away from me. So, this day was like most. I knew I was going to make chicken "something". When 5 pm rolled around, I began to flip through recipes and see what ingredients I had on hand to make a quick meal. Since the … [Read more...]

Sunday Morning Croissant Sandwiches

By Kristin on February 19, 2012

I don't know about you, but Sunday mornings are the one day of the week we linger over coffee in our jammies and we usually make an effort with breakfast. During the week, it's cereal, oatmeal, bagels...quick food. But, on Saturday mornings, we try a little harder. Today, I decided to bake off Pillsbury Crescent rolls to use for egg sandwiches with turkey pastrami, aged cheddar cheese and fresh arugula. The beautiful thing about Pillsbury Crescent rolls, is they are convenient. It took me less than 5 minutes to unroll … [Read more...]

Advantium Bakes Taco Meatloaf

By Kristin on February 16, 2012 4 Comments

A couple of weeks ago, we had a new member join our family...GE Profile™ Advantium® oven. I have to admit, once it was installed, it was a little intimidating. It promised to be a microwave, European convection oven, warming oven and Speedcook oven all in one. Not even the other members of my family can deliver all those promises in one. I was wondering if the Advantium would be a good fit. We started testing her out by simply heating up food in the microwave. That's a language our family of 7 fully understands. My … [Read more...]
