That one Lasagna recipe I was gonna post…

There has been a little voice nagging me from deep within the twists of my grey matter, going “You saiiiid you’d post a lasaaaaagna reciiiiipe.” Oh yeah. Right. Um. Actually, I’m not going to post that one. I’ll post a lasagna recipe, yes, but not the one my G’ma uses. Whyyyyy? But, but…it’s so “delishus,”…

Some things never change…

Hey Howdy Hey… It is now 2011, and I rediscovered this site. Whaddya know, I still like food! Except nowadays I’m trying to eat less dessert (GASP) and more fresh fruits and veggies, cuz I’m agittin old and my body doesn’t burn the calories like it used to. I’m trying to exercise more, too. Wow,…

Rice-crust Quiche

I’m very glad the western world is privy to rice, because I love it. One of my favorite rice dishes is a quiche…which might sound nasty, but it’s amazing…basically a veggie stirfry you add 3 eggs to and dump in a rice nest to bake. It’s really versatile and I don’t follow the recipe at…

Strawberry Pretzel Dessert

Smash up into crumbs about half a bag of pretzels till you have 2 cups worth. I used the bottom of a metal measuring cup to smash mine. It’s quite therapeutic, really. Mix in 1 Tbsp sugar and stir in 1/4 c of melted butter, then press into a 9×13 pan. Cream 1 c sugar and…
