Over the last few years, I have experimented with many different variations of stuffed shells. Stuffed shells is one of my favorite dishes to serve to company, along with caesar salad, garlic bread, wine, and something chocolatey for dessert. My previous attempts at stuffed shells included some combination of ground beef, chicken (chopped, chunks, seasoned), [...]

The Picky Apple doesn’t really care for soup. Me? When I was younger, I used to take soup to school for lunch almost every single day. In my quest to find a soup that The Picky Apple will eat, we focused on “taco” soups, similar to one he gets in the cafeteria at work. We’ve [...]

This recipe for Buffalo Chicken Nuggets was a favorite at our house growing up, and it is still one of my favorites today. My mom clipped the original recipe from Parents Magazine back in 1988, so it is officially 20 years old this year. I love everything about wings except, well, the wings themselves. I [...]

This recipe is based on a dish that used to be on the menu at P.F. Chang’s. The Picky Apple ordered this dish every single time we went to P.F. Chang’s until one day last year, it was no longer on the menu. It was a sad day for him, and he was forced to [...]

This recipe is from Stop and Smell the Rosemary, the cookbook of the Junior League of Houston. I recently purchased this cookbook after eyeing it again and again at Barnes and Noble and Amazon. This is another one of those cookbooks where every single recipe looks absolutely delicious. I love that it’s a local cookbook, [...]

Last week I made these delicious shredded chicken taquitos after reading about them on Picky Palate by Jenny. Jenny recently appeared on The Food Network’s Ultimate Recipe Showdown for Comfort Foods, and has participated (and won!) many other cooking contests. (Her mac and cheese recipe featured on the show can be found here.) She’s got [...]

All of the recipes I read about on other blogs are really piling up, so I picked a few to try this week. Melanie at My Kitchen Cafe posted a recipe for Chicken and Corn Chowder with Sweet Potatoes a couple of weeks ago, but it was still fresh in my mind when I was [...]

I’ve been doing lots of cooking and baking and not so much blogging lately….I’ve been feeling under the weather with a sinus infection, and The Littlest Apple is back to waking up 5 or 6 times a night, which is just dandy. So I’m doing my best to get caught up during his naptime today. [...]

This soup is one of the easiest soups I’ve ever thrown together. It is a Paula Deen recipe (but no butter this time). My mom “discovered” it, and passed the recipe along to me. I served it with hot, crusty bread. It was great! I don’t have any good pictures this time because I was [...]

Whenever I come across a recipe in a magazine, I tear out the page, and place it in a “Recipes To Try” binder, organized by Chicken, Beef, Dessert, Breakfast, and Other. The categories probably need a little more refining, but that worked at the time I made my binder about 4 years ago. My Recipes [...]
