Wow Chow Cooking

My daughter, a fanatic about hummus (good girl!), created this terrific little lunch wrap. She made one for me the other day, and it is so good that I just have to blog about it! We don’t have a name for it… maybe Super-Easy Hummus Salad Wrap? I love the colors, too. It looks like [...]

Break out the treadmills, girls! Have I got a recipe for YOU! I forgot all about this recipe until I found it tucked into in one of my casserole cookbooks (more on that later). It is luscious. I have tried to get a photo of this before it’s gone to no avail. Maybe next time. [...]

photo credit: FUNKYAH Cupcakes are just so much fun! Unlike cakes, cupcakes are easy to decorate. You can sprinkle or plunk just about anything on a cupcake. I was having a cupcake epiphany last week after browsing my local grocery store for sprinkles. I was FLOORED at the cost of the things. $4 to $7 [...]

I spotted these at Your Fun Family and started drooling. Oh I just love peanut butter and chocolate! Well, Melissa graciously allowed me to copy her recipe and share. We are making these very soon! Melissa didn’t say how many this recipe would serve, so I’m guessing it when I include it. Buckeyes Serves 1. [...]

Oh wow. This is GOOD Rum Cake. I never had it or made it before this. Yum Rum Cake! I found a conventional recipe and altered it a little. It’s a tiny bit more “rummy” than the regular kind, but it’s not bitter or overly rum-tasting. This is an incredibly moist cake, too. My family [...]

I’ve heard about the bean edamame (eh-dah-MAH-meh) for quite some time. I spotted it in the frozen section of the grocery store, and decided to check it out. It’s actually quite good! I wouldn’t say it’s the most amazing thing since chocolate bars, but it’s not too bad. The best part about the stuff is [...]

Why oh why am I always juggling a dozen things AND trying to cook at the same time?! It happens again and again!! Gah!! I’m trying to pull out the ingredients for the Bavarian-Filled Eclairs while talking on the phone, starting a load of laundry, and assisting my son with his English homework. WHY did [...]

Mmm I love crisps, especially crisps with cranberries in them. A dollop of vanilla ice cream on top of warm crisp is SO luscious!! It’s a terrific comfort food, especially after a long, cold winter’s day at the office, or for the weary housewife who has been haggling over term life insurance comparisons all day. [...]

I make these Bavarian Cream-Filled Eclairs every year about this time of year, and they are so easy it’s mind-boggling. I take them to meetings, and they are gobbled up very quickly. The only thing to know is that they do not keep well– serve them within a few hours of making them, or they [...]

My pal Carole asked if anyone had any ideas for banana bread, and it reminded me that I’ve never posted my Banana Bread recipe here! I love banana bread, but banana bread seems pretty basic to me. You can add chocolate chips or nuts, yeah, but the recipe does not deviate all that much. Years [...]
