Y'all. This is, hands down, my best scone recipe to date. I may just give up on making any other scone for the rest of my life...and I'm only 10% kidding on that one. Really. Picture this: moist and flaky, dense and airy, with the perfect crumb. Tasting ever so lightly of coconut - but not overpowering. Buttery. Warm. Drizzled with a simple glaze, a pat of butter, or just eaten plain. Breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Crisp, chewy, crumbly. Y'all, I know on here I can be a ... continue reading...
Pantry Chicken Vegetable Soup
Guess what? I had a 3-day weekend of the unexpected variety - I guess freak snowfall can be good for something! So just to put this in perspective, the above photo was taken while the pups were looking out the front door (duh) - only see at the bottom of the door where the snow is coming up above the glass? That's at least 22 inches off the normal ground. Yeah. 'Twas a lot of snow. And we didn't have a lot of food in our house to accommodate being snowed in. All I have to ... continue reading...
Life is Changing
And I'm having to make grown-up decisions these days. Wah. Besides the whole giving-up-my-uterus-for-the-baby thing, we also did something else the other night: we traded in my beloved Rolly (pronounced Ro-lee) for a newer more family-friendly car. If you've been reading for a while you know that my car is kind of my baby and I totally cried when she hit 100,000 miles. Add about a bajillion more hormones to this body and brain of mine and the fact that she's no longer hanging out in our ... continue reading...
Baked Eggs with Bacon and Spinach
Do y'all remember the scene in Runaway Bride (that's an Oscar contender if I've ever seen one...) where Julia Roberts realizes that she doesn't know how she likes her eggs? You know, because she's always turning herself into the girl that the guy she's marrying wants to be with? Yeah. That's not me. I know how I like my eggs, although I will say that it depends on the day. If it's a scrambled kind of day then I want them scrambled with NO MILK, a tab of butter, and salt and ... continue reading...
Cheesy Spinach and Tomato Quiche
You guys, this quiche is a TOTAL surprise. And it has a big, low-fat surprise inside... The crust for this bad boy? POTATOES. PO-TAY-TOES. As in the ever so starchy, often boring, but extremely versatile root veggie. I'm not promising you'll never crave a pastry crust again but...well, if you're like me you won't. And by like me I mean if you love butter and salt and flour and all the things that go into a pastry crust but the crust itself just doesn't make you want to ... continue reading...
Being Pregnant Feels Like…
...I'm permanently full of food, with no relief in sight. And then my stomach growls and I can't get food fast enough. ...my skin is stretching waaaaaaaay beyond it's limitations. ...I'm waddling when I walk now, and let's just say waddling doesn't feel pretty. ...a 15-lb weight on the front of my body, ready to tip me over at any given moment. ...to quote Baby Mama it feels like I just ate a big meatball sub and now that sub is kicking me on the inside. All the ... continue reading...
Lemon-Chili Marinated Chicken
I tried to dress up this picture of raw chicken for you. Did it work? Really though, let's talk for just a second about raw meats. They are NOT photogenic at all, especially poultry, but one of the things I love to do (as long as there's plenty of hot water, soap, and a fresh towel nearby) is handle raw meat. Makes me feel oh-so-culinary and knowledgeable. That plus a good outcome is always a nice thing to have - and this chicken will come out moist, juicy, tender, and ... continue reading...
Heaven-Sent
Dear Sugar-Free Oreos, I love you and I just needed you to know that. XOXO, Heather ... continue reading...
Caramelized Pear and Bacon Sundaes
Yep, I went there. I did this. And I'm not ashamed. But really Heather? BACON and PEARS in a SUNDAE? WhoWhatWhyWhenWhereHow?! Who? You. And me. Obviously. What? OK OK I'll spell it out: make this sundae. STAT. When? Immediately if possible...but I'll give you the time to go gather ingredients if you must. Where? Who cares? Although you will need a stove, so I'm assuming kitchen might be easiest. Why? Because, despite the ... continue reading...
Blood Orange Salmon en Papillotte
If you're anything like me you're sick and tired of seeing blood oranges all over bloggerland. But you're intrigued, so you go with the flow. You know, if you're like me. The flavor of blood oranges is delicious - sweet, tangy, and juicy - but what really gets me is the color and the tie-dye effect you find when you open it up. It's like a tie-dye T-shirt all wrapped up in a gift box, but once it's out it's OUT. Have I mentioned before that I really love tie-dye? Like, right now I'm ... continue reading...
Top 25 Things I’m Stoked About for Summer
Forgive me guys, for I know exactly what I do. I'm skipping over the gloriousness of Spring in Colorado (which is mostly nice...I'm not a fan of the freak snowstorms in May and whatnot) and getting right to summer. See, last year I had just found out I was pregnant and suffered through the summer feeling nauseated and gross and everything smelled weird. I'd like to take this time to apologize to Nate and my dogs and for telling them they all smelled funny even after taking ... continue reading...
Pecan Baklava Cups
When it comes to baking I feel like I have a good handle on things. You know, things that taste good and things that taste great - but the things that make you have a moment? Where you close your eyes and the world stops spinning for that moment in time? Those are the baking experiences I live for. And if you have about 20 minutes, some Pillsbury crescent rolls and a bag of Texas pecans you too can have that eyes-rolling-back-in-your-head experience. The best part? Seriously, it takes ... continue reading...
