Homemade Nutella

Homemade Nutella
What should you do with a bag of leftover hazelnuts? Make homemade Nutella, of course! After I realized how easy it was to make homemade nut butters, I am planning on doing my own experimentation with a variety of nuts and flavorings. My homemade Nutella didn't quite taste like the real thing. Dustin said it wasn't quite as sweet (which I...

Jalapeño Pecan Pancakes

Jalapeño Pecan Pancakes
We already had the buttermilk from the Chopped Stetson Salad dressing and a large box of pecans sent to us from Texas (thanks Uncle Kevin), so we decided to continue with our restaurant recreations from our trip to Arizona by cooking up some jalapeño pancakes for brunch this weekend. It was such an interesting flavor combination that we would...

Coconut Oatmeal Cookies

Coconut Oatmeal Cookies
Bonnie's lips and nose have been incredibly dry lately, whether from her allergies and the medications she's been taking or just the colder weather. But I've been trying to keep her hydrated with coconut oil. I searched and searched for a good substitute to Vaseline since she tends to completely lick off anything I place within reach of her...

Chopped Stetson Salad

Chopped Stetson Salad
We really enjoyed our visit to Arizona last month. One of the highlight dishes we heard so much about before the trip was the chopped Stetson Salad from Cowboy Ciao that definitely lived up to its hyped up status. Dustin's mom secured us a copy of the recipe before we left, and we decided to go ahead and give it a try since we already had tons...

Rosemary and Roasted Garlic Burgers with Artichoke Hearts and Tomato

Rosemary and Roasted Garlic Burgers with Artichoke Hearts and Tomato
Lately we've been running out fresh ideas for one of our favorite foods, burgers. We are trying really hard not to repeat menu items, but we have been finding it somewhat difficult. However, this burger was randomly born from Dustin's imagination recently. Once he mentioned adding artichokes, I was on board with this meal. The flavor combination...

White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookie Dough Blondies

White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookie Dough Blondies
Basically these are blondie/white chocolate macadamia nut version of these delicious treats. These blondies are equally tasty; however the flavors of the two layers are not nearly as distinct in flavor or visuals as the original, old-school version. The picture in the Cookie Dough Lovers Cookbook shows the disticntion between the layers; however...

Curry Goat

Curry Goat
"Let's make the curry goat." We keep saying that to each other. It's been well over 6 months since our romantic getaway to Jamaica. And we keep saying that we should make the curry goat. A couple times over the span of our trip, from tour guides, and hotel attendants, we heard that we have to try the local delicacy. And yet somehow the five or...

Italian Enchiladas

Italian Enchiladas
Calling these Italian enchiladas would probably be blasphemous to an Italian, but I didn't have a better name for replacing enchilada sauce with tomato sauce. These were so good and simple, I can't believe it's something we've never thought of doing before. I took leftover tortillas spread a little tomato sauce on them before stuffing them...

Cinnamon Raisin Bagels

Cinnamon Raisin Bagels
Dustin and I have been creating a mutual list of cooking/baking projects we want to tackle in the near future. Most are things that we would have never thought to attempt in our home kitchen a short while ago, but we've realized if we follow instructions, take the time, and use quality ingredients, most foodie things we'd think to go to a...

Broccoli, Cheese & Quinoa Casserole

Broccoli, Cheese & Quinoa Casserole
One of my favorite foods when I was young was cheesy broccoli and rice casserole. For some reason when I got a little older, I decided I didn't like it. Maybe because the word broccoli was included. But when I gave it a try again after dropping my picky eating habits, it quickly became one of my go-to comfort foods when I'd see it at a...
