Wow Chow Cooking

I was out late one night this week and the husband had sushi from the supermarket waiting for me. OH SUSHI how I love thee! I had never tried sushi until a few months ago. Honestly, they looked like miniature, rubbery yoga mats to me. And the thought of eating raw fish… *shudder* I actually [...]

Oh my word.  Sometimes it’s so worth it to subscribe to a billion email magazines hawking everything from automatic toothbrushes to smoker life insurance . Every once in a while, you get a gem. And this recipe is a gem. Instructables has a post about how to make homemade Cadbury Cream eggs. I LOVE those [...]

My daughter made these. Oh my word, get ready for the cookie of your dreams!! We found a basic cranberry-white chocolate cookie recipe and then, as is our custom, tweaked it to perfection. We dried our own cranberries for this (in a dehydrator, it’s SO less expensive than buying the packages stuff, which also tends [...]

Look at this! Isn’t this adorable! It’s so cute, we can’t bear to eat it. It’s still in the container, lol. CUTE!!! It’s a little chocolate-covered cherry, with a Hershey’s kiss for a head. I love the chocolate-dipped sliced almonds for the ears. Whoever made this was really creative. We got it as part of [...]

HOO BOY! This week’s FFoF is about chocolate!!!! I’ve had this *thing* about chocolate recently, even requiring an emergency dose this past week! Here’s the challenge for this week: Tell me four things that you have made from scratch with chocolate (or just candy if you don’t/can’t have chocolate). Oh dear. You may have well [...]

The kids made a luscious pie last night. We are really *into* pies lately, not having had a kitchen and an oven for 4 months! They spent a few days, on and off, during the summer, picking black raspberries for the pie. We didn’t have enough berries for a full pie (those lousy drenching rains [...]

I saw this photo and it made me totally crack up! Haaa!!! I will have to do one like this sometime! photo credit: L. Marie I made apple pie late last night on this crazy whim. It was a cold evening, and I was desperate to bake something. I enjoyed it so much I almost [...]

Oh, I saw this recipe for Homemade Peanut Butter at Family.com in their recipes section. It looks so good! Store-bought peanut butter has become so expensive and is filled with so many salts and preservatives, yuk! Plus, I haven’t forgotten the PB recall a while back because a factory had contaminated PB with listeria. I [...]

I found this website called TasteSpotting. WOW. The stuff looks so good. It’s a “pictorial” kind of cookbook. There are almost 3,000 pages filled with photos. You can click a photo card to view the recipe, and print it out from your Acer Aspire or whatever. Yum! I saw a lot of Asian recipes, and [...]

In my continuing quest to eat healthier more frequently (she says as she wipes pizza crumbs from her mouth), I found this very unusual yummy and healthy yogurt recently. Well, actually, the Hubs discovered it. It’s very pricey, and am usually blind to any yogurts over 50 cents a pop. It’s Greek yogurt. It has [...]
