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.

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...]

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...]

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...]

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 4 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 … [Read more...]

Hot Hibiscus Happiness

By Kristin on January 12, 2012 2 Comments

I was in Minnesota just last month with Chris Ann. She picked me up from the airport and whisked me a way to Barbette for a little lunch and catch up time before we started our working weekend. The week before, I had seen a bunch of tweets going out on twitter from the Minnesota bloggers about Hibiscus Happiness or Hot Hibby....some drink they had all shared at Barbette. I have to admit, I was a bit envious. Not only were they sharing this bit of happiness with my bff, but it sounded delicious! As soon as we sat down, … [Read more...]
