Chocolate is my friend

I think your taste buds must change over time because four years ago I thought nuts were disgusting and really wasn’t a fan of dark chocolate.  At all. I am still iffy on super dark chocolate (nothing over 80% thankyouverymuch), but I adore salty cashews and crave almond and peanut butter almost daily.  But that’s neither here nor there.  <— pointless tangent much? For the people who (still) don’t like nuts, this recipe is for you.  It’s also for my fellow chocoholics. How cute are these mini chocolate chips?

Dreaming of bread

Last weekend, I woke up in the middle of the night salivating.  Why?    Because of the delicious aroma of this loaf of bread.  Blame it on the carbs, yo! Note to self: never again start a loaf of bread in the breadmaker as you are going to bed.  If you’ve ever made bread, you probably know where I’m coming from because you know how fantastic it smells.  Well apparently my dreaming self got a whiff of the fresh warm dough and wanted in on the action.  I incorporated the smell into a dream and… Read more >

Longer than I’ve been alive

Earlier this week my unit threw a huge retirement party for one of my coworkers.  She has been a nurse for 33 years.  33 years! Can you even imagine?!? Naturally, she had a ton of colleagues friends to give her a royal send off.  Staff members who had long since retired came to wish her well (they were joking that they were in Florence Nightingale’s class).  It was such a special thing to see, so I can only guess how much it meant to her. When I was hired, there were rumors of her (then… Read more >

Tortilla therapy

My sisters and I were my mom’s sous-chefs growing up and one of my favorite dishes she made was an enchilada casserole because we got to rip up corn tortillas and then make layers out of the pieces.  It was so fun tearing them up and then putting them back together again like puzzle pieces. I like destruction and I love puzzles, so you can see why I was a fan of the recipe. For a while now I’ve been meaning to make a casserole that uses corn tortillas as a layer. And I finally… Read more >

When bread is more important than looking pretty

Have you ever had Eggs Benedict?  Don’t worry, there’s no hollandaise to be found in this post.    Truthfully, I don’t even know what’s in hollandaise sauce, but I think there’s butter and some other artery clogging stuff.  Not for me. I’ll tell you what IS for me though.  Bread. If I had to limit myself to one food for the rest of time it would probably be bread.  Meh.  I will probably take that statement back the second I remember something else I frequently binge on.  But for now let’s just go with it. … Read more >
