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 [...]

I found this recipe last fall and have made it several times since then. I seriously think I could eat this soup every day and never get tired of it. I love love love it! The only thing that keeps me from making it more often is the work required in getting the butternut squash [...]

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 [...]

I really like sun-dried tomatoes and surprisingly, The Picky Apple does too. I gravitate toward dishes containing sun-dried tomatoes in restaurants, but always forget that I could be cooking with them at home. When I saw this recipe for Sun-dried Tomato Chicken Roll-ups back in January on Celeste’s blog, Sugar & Spice, I knew I [...]

The Picky Apple and I are not the type to go out to dinner for Valentine’s. In fact, we normally don’t really celebrate at all, which is a little strange considering that Valentine’s day is also the “anniversary” of our very first date. That’s right. Our first date was on Valentine’s Day. Ten years ago, [...]

Remember the other day when I told you about Paula Deen’s recipe for Savory Baked Chicken, and how you were supposed to save the leftover chicken so you could use it again in another recipe? Well this is the other recipe. Hopefully you didn’t eat all of that leftover chicken (good as it was) because [...]
