Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

March 27, 2015 By Madison Wetherill Leave a Comment

I have always loved baking. I didn’t discover a love of cooking until after I got married three years ago, but baking, I’ve always loved. Granted, my definition of “baking” before was using boxed mix, I still always loved baked goods more than anything else. As I’ve grown in my cooking skills, my baking skills have grown too. I remember the first time I tried to make muffins. I used a complicated recipe that required lots of unnecessary steps and in the end my muffins didn’t turn out at all. Didn’t even make it to the oven. So now, even though I love baking, I still prefer easy recipes that truly anyone can bake from. Good food just simply doesn’t have to be complicated.

Soba Noodle Chow Mein

Soba Noodle Chow Mein

As crazy as it sounds, the most comforting food to me is ethnic food. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good cheeseburger hot off the grill or something equally as American on occasion, but 9 times out of 10 if I am feeling tired, sad, or emotional I am craving something from another continent. Last week my husband went out of town for a business trip, and so I was left cooking for just myself. No fun right? Well, I was actually thrilled about it because my husband is not the biggest fan of some of my favorite dishes. So I went to the grocery store, and picked out ingredients that I knew I could never get away with using when my hubby is at home, and off I went.

I made this chow mein to accompany me, my couch, and endless television shows…it was like I was back in college with take out! It was yummy, quick and easy to make, and even better cold the next day! Soba noodles are really great for you as they are made from buckwheat flour, winning!

Smoked Salmon Farfalle

March 25, 2015 By Jana Tolman Leave a Comment

Smoked salmon farfalle pasta with asparagus and red bell peppers–a perfect Spring meal!

My husband and I participate in a weekly produce co-op. Every Saturday morning, we pick up a basket full of delicious fruits and veggies–we don’t know beforehand what we’ll be getting each week. This week I was pleased to discover two big, beautiful bunches of asparagus and red bell peppers. It was a sign–we were having smoked salmon farfalle for dinner.

This dish is one of my favorites that we served in the restaurant I worked in during high school–I still have my battered, stained pocket size notebook with the recipe I scribbled down as the chef taught me to make it. My husband absolutely loves this dish too, so anytime asparagus is on sale, we make this pasta. If we’re really craving it and asparagus isn’t in season, we’ll substitute frozen peas.

Banana Bread Doughnuts (Gluten & Sugar Free)

Since the moment we walked into our apartment from our honeymoon, my husband has been asking for doughnuts. The idea of getting a homemade version of his favorite treat was a huge thrill for him. I pinned away many hours looking for fun new recipes to try, along with the newlywed dinner recipe collecting and home decorating “research” I was doing.

But, despite my recipe collecting, my sweet husband continued to consume greasy, frosted doughnuts from the corner shop for the last couple of years. I didn’t have a doughnut mold! Finally this Christmas I put it on my gift list… as a gift to him of course!

It’s priceless watching his eyes light up as he notices a batch of freshly baked doughnuts on the kitchen counter.
