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 and … [Read more...]

Moroccan Chicken in the GE Advantium

By Kristin on March 6, 2012 1 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...]

Join Us For a Cup of Coffee and An Announcement!

By lovefeasttable on March 6, 2012 13 Comments

Will you pour yourself a coffee, pull up a chair and read a little story? "There once were two bloggers. They were artists by nature, creative types down to the bone. They wrote and posted, twittered and facebooked. They reached out and learned about relationships through social media. One day, they decided to have an event. It was to be held in Baltimore at a local coffee shop. They decided to call it a BlogLove Event. (You know, because they were bringing bloggers together, in real life, to share in an inspiring … [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 6 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 kids … [Read more...]

Valentine Treats To Savor With Tea

By Chris Ann on February 8, 2012 Leave a Comment

Taking time to savor the moment with a pot or cup of tea has always been something I have enjoyed in my day. Over the years, I have enjoyed the preparation of putting out a proper cup of tea for friends, with fancy favorite dishes and small bites. Sometimes I just pop a mug, quick in the microwave to make a single cup to enjoy by myself. My family has learned I rarely make something warm to drink without a nibble on the side. They have also learned to enjoy the nurturing moments of a warm cup and a moment to chat. The … [Read more...]

Strawberry Heart Cups with Goat Cheese Whipped Cream

By Kristin on January 26, 2012

It was about 10 years ago on Valentine's evening. Our casual, artsy coffee shop had been open for over a year. We served a purely vegetarian menu with baked pita pizzas like the Bella Donna and Artist's Heart. The menu was creative and we were constantly thinking outside the box when bringing flavors and technique together. Devon had been classically French trained under an amazing chef. He brought those techniques to our quaint, three story cafe situated in a historic, antique shopping district. There were days he longed to … [Read more...]

Rose Hashmary Potatoes

By Kristin on January 23, 2012 5 Comments

Devon was in the kitchen, in his zone, rambling on about this amazing potato hash he wanted to make. I said, "There's something about the word 'hash' that does not sound appealing. I think we should come up with a different name. What's going into the dish?" As he rambled off the ingredients, my daughter piped in and said, "What about Rose Hashmary Potatoes?" We both looked at each other and said, "Perfect!" The ingredients for this dish are simple, but let me just tell you, what Devon does with the preparation creates a rich, … [Read more...]
