A few months ago I was picked to check out some Melt buttery, organic spread, and here I am today doing it again. I love this stuff! I’ve tried using it with daily cooking and baking as well as just a topping or spread for vegetables or toast or whatever. This time around I did […]
I get the urge to bake about as much as I get the urge to cook. I found this little recipe in a Food Network Kitchens cookbook and thought it would be fast and easy. Well, it is, sort of, but it does require a little time and some extra steps I wasn’t expecting and […]
A couple of weeks ago, I was contacted by Miranda, who does promotional services for Melt, and she sent me a couple of free samples. I first discovered Melt over at Dinners, Dishes and Desserts (Triple D if you’re Guy Fieri) and was surprised it could be used in baking. Previously, I haven’t had good […]
Continuing with a meatball theme this week… When I was doing my weekly meal plan on Sunday, I planned to buy both ground beef and ground pork, two things I don’t typically buy, so I had to come up with two recipes that used them. The Swedish Meatballs just so happened to use approximately 1/2 […]
I’ve made a very special, family recipe cheesecake for my guest post on Ask Chef Dennis tonight. So, hop on over to Chef Dennis’ blog and check out my guest post. Also, if for some bizarre reason you’ve never been to Ask Chef Dennis be sure to check out the rest of his blog. It’s […]
This week’s guest recipe of Lemon Streusel Bars is from Liz from That Skinny Chick Can Bake!!! And that’s no exaggeration! I’ve been a reader of Liz’s food blog for several months, and she is nothing short of a miracle worker. She writes quality blog posts of drool-worthy recipes and has some beautiful photography, and […]
I’m trying something new here on The Kitchen Noob. There are so many food bloggers out there in a vast foodie community, and it’s fun to see what people are cooking and posting every week. Something I like to do is actually make some of the foods I see on others’ blogs, and I wonder […]
One of my favorites from Bernard Clayton’s New Complete Book of Breads. This moist, scrumptious banana bread is laced with the sweet texture of shaved coconut that not only tastes incredible but lends a satisfying chewiness to every bite.Each loaf is also topped with toasted shaved coconut that lends a slightly crispy caramelized sweetness to […]
So yeah, cake is not my strong area in the kitchen. I think this is the second time I’ve tried to make a cake from scratch, and this one turned out twice as good as the previous. Meet Lily. She was bugging the hell out of me at the grocery store yesterday to buy a […]
Grocery prices have been on the rise as of late, so I decided I’d make bread this week rather than spend $3 on a loaf of disappointing store-bought cardboard. I was in the mood for something different, so instead of shaping the dough into my typical rectangular loaf pans I decided to make one giant […]
