It was James’ pick for breakfast on Saturday and he went with Paula Deen’s Granite Step Blueberry Coffee Cake. It’s part blueberry, part cinnamon roll (I think so at least), and part oatmeal. It’s delicious. In the future I would ideally like to make homemade biscuits, however I’m not sure what type of biscuit recipe to use. For now, we’llRead more

Another Sunday is upon us. We were finally able to spend some time outside this weekend since it was under 100 degrees. I’m definitely looking forward to the next few months of perfect weather. This week’s dip is beer dip, which of course means it has beer as an ingredient. It’s served cold and I put it with pretzels, althoughRead more

It doesn’t taste like philly cheesesteak, but it has a lot of other great flavors going on. Chicken Steaks (serves 2) Ingredients: 1 Tbs red wine vinegar 1/4 cup oliveRead more

If I could rename this recipe I think I would call it onion souffle because it’s so light and fluffy. I easily halved the recipe, which made about 2.5 cups of dip. The recipe is written in the halved version. If you are only sharing between 4-6 people it’s definitely enough. I served it with pita chips and mini piecesRead more
