Rosemary Cornbread #SundaySupper #ChooseDreams

May 25, 2014 ·

Cornbread made with buttermilk is given a sophisticated twist with fresh rosemary in this Rosemary Cornbread. This recipe is lightened up and always a favorite!

A couple weeks ago, my family paid a visit to the local nursery to pick up some herbs to plant in a container garden on our deck. The deck is just off the kitchen, and walking out the patio door to pick fresh herbs for my recipes is one of the many things I look forward to each spring. I’m not the only one who looks forward to ‘herb season.’ Adam not only loves the recipes, but he loves to care for the herbs too! Ever since he could walk, he has helped watering. Now with a few years of experience under his 4 year old belt, he has taken over (most) responsibility and really does a great job!

Pretzel Crusted Grilled Cheese

April 30, 2014 ·

Pretzel Crusted Grilled Cheese puts a tasty pretzel twist on everybody’s favorite childhood grilled cheese sandwich.

Throughout the month of April, we celebrated National Grilled Cheese Month with many tasty variations of the classic sandwich. While I developed a delicious Parmesan Crusted Baked Grilled Cheese, that was not the original recipe I had in mind. I wanted to make a grilled cheese with pretzels – in either the crust or the filling, it didn’t matter. Pretzel-something grilled cheese was going to happen. I tried mixing pretzels with cheese for a topping or crushed in the filling, and the results were just not satisfactory. However I am very excited to share that finally on the last day of National Grilled Cheese month I discovered the secret…and it works!…
