This dessert is so versatile. It’s like an artist’s blank canvas. It’s not too sweet so you can dress it up anyway you’d like. Continue reading
This recipe is so quick and easy there’s no reason not to have fresh cobbler all the time, especially when the ingredients are things that we all usually have on hand. It seriously took me about 5 minutes to prepare and then it’s into the oven! We enjoyed ours with vanilla frozen yogurt, but ice cream or whipped cream would be wonderful, too! Continue reading
First let me start by saying that I absolutely LOVE crabs. I was raised in Maryland and some of my best memories involve multiple family crab feasts in our back yard. Newspapers were spread across the table tops and in the center lay a giant pile of steamed crabs waiting to be cracked open. The usual accompaniments to this would be corn-on-the-cob and ice cold beer. Yum… Continue reading
The folks at Zojirushi America Corporation were so kind to send me a Zojirushi Micom Rice Cooker & Warmer NS-TSC10. I absolutely love it!! I’ve already made white rice, brown rice and wild rice in the cooker and they all turned out perfectly.
It’s so easy because there are pre-set measurements on the inside of the Inner Cooking Pan. Just add the rice and then add water to the corresponding line. Aside from making perfect rice, it has so many cool features. I love the fact that I can set the timer and the rice will begin cooking when I want (or complete when I want), and it also has a stay warm feature! You’re also able to change the signal sounds from a “beep” to a “melody”. I think that’s pretty cool, cause now it plays Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.
Yes, it’s the ultimate in making rice, but you can do so much more with it! This week I’ll be making rice, while steaming our entire dinner in the upper steaming basket. Clean up is going to be super simple that night, with only the Inner Cooking Pan and Steaming Basket to wash. ☺
Also on the menu for this week, I will be baking a cake in the Zojirushi Micom Rice Cooker & Warmer. Yep, that’s right – a cake!! Stay tuned ‘cause I will be posting pics of the cake as well as the steamed dinner.

There are just four basic ingredients in pie crust; flour, fat, water, salt. Below is my pie crust recipe for sweet items, so I’ve added some sugar. If you want to make a savory crust, just omit the sugar. It’s so easy to change the taste and texture of pie crust. I love to create variations! Continue reading
Fresh, warm, blueberry pie… do I need to say anything more? Probably not, but I do want to point out that I only made 2 individual pies. Why? Because Continue reading
I love mushrooms, especially stuffed mushrooms! The grocery store usually has beautiful large Portabella mushrooms that are sold 2 in a package. These are perfect as the main attraction on the plate and are a wonderful substitution for meat. (I’m in my 3rd month of no meat). Continue reading
Moussaka is a Greek dish that is typically layered with potato, spiced meat (beef or lamb), eggplant and béchamel sauce. This is my take on it, making it vegetarian. I must admit that I wasn’t too sure how it was going to taste, but it ended up being the best Moussaka I’ve ever had.
I didn’t have any fresh spinach on hand, so Continue reading
