Garlicky Thai Chicken Pizza

By Sherry K on April 25th, 2013

It is of my belief that all good savory recipes start out with garlic (and onions, for that matter). I don’t know, it’s like if the kitchen doesn’t wreak when I’m done cooking, I just haven’t accomplished my job properly.

Ya know what I mean?

As my [...]

Make Your Own Profiteroles

By Sherry K on April 23rd, 2013

It’s Zippy Tip Tuesday!

A few months ago, my S.O. and I had a rather humorous conversation involving the word “profiteroles” . I was making a batch one evening; and well, I guess you could say there was a wee bit of some miscommunication! To read about it, [...]

with Mini Profiterole Dunkin’ Sticks

My heart is filled with gratitude right now. Many of you read about my aunt and her “Easter feast” a couple of weeks ago. (If you missed the post, it is here: Easter Egg Nest Centerpiece.) Little did I know how close I came to [...]

Phyllo (Fill-o) My Cup Bar

By Sherry K on February 21st, 2013

The other night, we had our friend Michelle over for a VERY important basketball game. Ya see, Indiana University was playing Michigan State, and it was a HUGE match-up, since they are 1 and 2 in the Big 10, respectively. More importantly, my S.O. and I are IU alums, [...]

Choco-Chili Chicken Wings

By Sherry K on February 7th, 2013

Every Sunday evening, my S.O. and I have “splurge night”, where we allow ourselves to have something a bit (OK, maybe a lot) more decadent than our usual weekday fare.

So why Sunday, you may ask? Well, we have tried putting splurge night on Friday or Saturday, [...]

Smoky Persimmon Cranberry Compote

By Sherry K on January 24th, 2013

You know how some recipes start out by accident?

Well, I was in the middle of making cranberry sauce when my S.O. called and was lost coming home from a conference in a nearby state. I ran to the computer to get directions, came back to my [...]

Chicago Style Cashew Crunch

By Sherry K on January 3rd, 2013

Any Chicago peeps out there know that the place to go for popcorn in the Windy City is Garrett’s Popcorn Shop.

If you’re in the city and don’t know where it’s located, all you have to do is stick your whiffer in the air and the wafting [...]

Caribbean Munch

By Sherry K on December 27th, 2012

I hope you all had a great Christmas.

We certainly did. The only real hitch came a couple days before Christmas. I made about 1/2 dozen Holiday Spinach Bread Wreaths to take to friends and neighbors. With just 3 more to go, my KitchenAid mixer decided to [...]

Holiday Spinach Bread Wreath

By Sherry K on December 20th, 2012

with Cranberry Spinach ‘Wow’ Dip

I learned something new this week.

I had been baking bread the last month or so, and sometimes the yeast didn’t activate. I couldn’t figure out why. I knew the date on the yeast was good. I even went out and bought new yeast, [...]

Asiago Quiche Cups

By Sherry K on November 9th, 2012

My friend Bud, our very special spud, is going to help me introduce my recipe for today. While some people discover zucchini shaped like Elvis, or peppers shaped like Oscar the Grouch, we found Bud in Dad’s garden.

Bud’s become a regular member [...]
