St. Patrick’s Day Dinner: Corned Beef, Cabbage, and Roasted Potatoes and Carrots

This is St. Patrick’s Day dinner kicked up a notch.  I usually use a big pot with a lid on the stove top, but this time, I cooked my corned beef in a dutch oven- I am strongly anti-crock pot when it comes to meat  (I swear I can taste the crock-pot) but the biggest… Continue reading St. Patrick’s Day Dinner: Corned Beef, Cabbage, and Roasted Potatoes and Carrots

The Ultimate Rice Krispie Treats

Probably not too many people would bother to put a “recipe” for Rice Krispie Treats on their blog, because the recipe is widely available on every box of Rice Krispie cereal.  Hell, it’s even on the back of the box of the Fred Meyer brand “Krispie Rice.” But this, this is not a regular rice… Continue reading The Ultimate Rice Krispie Treats

Caramel Pecan Sticky Buns

“I’m never going to be skinny.” That was my very first thought when I bit into my first fork full of these delicious sticky buns. And that is because I am unapologetic about the fact that sometimes I make sticky buns on a Thursday afternoon for absolutely no occasion whatsoever. An Imagineer for Disney, named Bruce… Continue reading Caramel Pecan Sticky Buns
