“Bisquick, your pants are on fire!” — my Dad When I was growing up, my mom always had a box of Bisquick in the cupboard. She used it for biscuits, pancakes, and Shepherd’s Pie, and we loved it. I don’t remember how old I was the first time my dad made that joke, but you…

Roasted Garlic Frittata With Broccolini & Red Peppers
Fresh and delicious, this frittata is adapted from Cooking Light. There are two tricks to the recipe that ensure roasted garlic flavor in every bite. Okay, the garlic technically isn’t roasted, it’s slowly cooked in oil. But by “roasting” it in oil on the stovetop, you get the same roasted flavor with the added benefit of…
Perfectly Cooked Bacon for a Crowd
“Bacon. That’s bacon! Are you trying to poison me?” — The Doctor The Eleventh Doctor had some weird food preferences that I most certainly don’t share! I love beans, and I love bacon. I have actually had Fish Fingers & Custard (yes, we already know I’m a nerd), though, and I do agree with him on…
Sourcream Coffeecake
Happy National Coffeecake Day! It seems like we have national days for just about everything here in the USA. It’s also National Beer Day, but I’d rather talk about Coffeecake. I know my mom had a recipe for Sour Cream Coffeecake, but I don’t know where it went. I remember not liking it all that much…

It seems like every family has its own version of deviled eggs, and they’re all wildly…
Cranberry-Orange Coffeecake
Cranberry coffeecake is one of my favorite holiday breakfasts. Everyone often gets up at a different time, so it’s nice to have something I can make in time for the early birds that will still be fresh for the later risers. I think I must have tried six or seven recipes over the years, with…
Buttery Waffles
“A waffle is like a pancake with a syrup trap.” — Mitch Hedberg Butter lovers rejoice! This one’s for you. Healthy eaters can just walk on by, there’s nothing to see here today. Or linger a moment, and take a walk on the wild side. These light and oh-so-rich waffles are a real pleasure. Plus…
Greek Yogurt: Instant Pot
There are lots of reasons to make your own yogurt at home. Homemade is definitely cheaper if you eat a lot of yogurt. Plus, you and only you control what else goes into it. Thickeners, preservatives, artificial flavor, and sugar (sometimes lots of sugar) all frequently appear in store-bought yogurt. When you make your own…
