Make your own brown sugar

2013-05-27 07.35.33

This morning my husband decided to make oatmeal. He likes brown sugar and cinnamon in his oatmeal but I realized that I had used the last of the brown sugar making peanut butter cookies on Saturday. Then I remembered how easy it is to make brown sugar. I mixed up a batch and now my husband is happily eating his oatmeal.

Auntie’s Meatballs

2013-04-27 15.27.32

This recipe is based off my Aunt Lorraine’s meatballs. She makes them every year for Christmas Eve and you better be quick because they get devoured! I have made a few changes to the recipe but I will always think of them as her meatballs.

Homemade meatballs are amazing and much easier to make than most people think. I make a huge batch of these then freeze them. They can be used for spaghetti and meatballs, meatball sandwiches, swedish meatballs or as a topping for pizza. I make my meatballs on the smaller size so they are more versatile.

When I was out at the store today, I decided that I really wanted hamburgers for dinner. I also stumbled upon an interesting recipe for oven baked fries which inspired the ones I made tonight. Bingo – we have a dinner plan!

Breakfast burritos

After having an entire week off from cooking, having been on a cruise ship for a week, I have to ease back into the cooking routine. Breakfast sounds like a great way to do this! I had previously taken some pictures of my breakfast burritos but I deleted them by accident so I just had to make one this morning.
