One of the fun New Year’s resolutions I made was to make better cake. (Noel is of course very supportive of this goal.) I am a pretty good baker, but I have just never been very satisfied with my cakes. I bought some bleached flour (since it’s lighter than the unbleached we typically use) and [...]
Being pregnant sometimes makes me lazy, especially on Saturday mornings. Every Saturday morning Noel will ask me what I want for breakfast and I will invariably respond with either “Einstein Bagels with honey almond schmear” or “donuts, mmmmm.” Noel is a good cook and very good at not giving into my cravings to eat out [...]
Typically we are flexitarians, but when I’m pregnant I seem to crave meat a lot more than usual. The thing is, meat is expensive (our desire to eat “happy animals” doesn’t help this) and we by nature are kind of cheap. Well, we’ve come up with a pretty good solution that doesn’t [...]
Growing up, both of my grandmas had freezers full of things that little kids love. One of my favorites that my McConkie grandma often had was homemade Oreo cookies. They were so much better than actual Oreos, and not just because they were homemade, but because they had cream cheese [...]
Cupcake Report – The St. Patrick’s Day cupcakes were indeed tasty. Would I wait in line again? Probably not. Will I use their menu as a starting point for some delicious experiments? Most likely. Cooper – We think we’re hitting round two of teething. Drooling – check. Biting things – check. The kid has been [...]
When we lived in Logan we lived down the street from a delicious Indian restaurant that was based out of a corner gas station. The food was so good that it’s location didn’t hinder business and was instead considered “quaint.” There were few occasions where a classic Chicken Tikka Masala or a surprisingly delicious [...]
Today I am grateful for many things, but I will only list one: our dishwasher.
Noel and I enjoy cooking (although becoming one with our “new” oven is another story), but we limited ourselves to the items Noel was able to realistically schedule into his Google calendar during a four hour period. Ten minute notifications [...]
I get daily email recipes from a certain popular website. I found this suggested recipe particularly entertaining. Maybe I only know really anal and healthy vegetarians, but Captain Crunch? And the sausage? Your Vegetarian Option:
Captain’s Crunch French Toast SUBMITTED BY: Bubba’s Mom

Noel and I love cooking. Anytime we eat something good at a restaurant we try to find a way to replicate it, and often come to enjoy our version even more – plus our way is generally cheaper. I am now ruined on Cafe Rio salads, store bought bread, packaged tortillas, and Olive Garden’s Zuppa [...]
I previously mentioned this really easy bread recipe that I found out on the internet. Since trying it I have kind of taken up the hobby of bread making. Fortunately, it’s a relatively inexpensive hobby with the bread costing about $0.35 per loaf. Not to mention that it [...]
