Homemade Holiday Gifts & Treats

Homemade Holiday Gifts & Treats
Part One: Sweets
I love love love Christmas Baking. I love Cookie Exchanges. I love homemade Holiday’s Hostess Gifts. I thought I should put together a couple little posts with a combination of great treats for the upcoming holidays! First, I had to tackle the sweets. It actually took me a few tries to narrow it down to 10. You know my love of cookies is infinite which means I could have put ALL my cookie recipes on here and call it a day…but I didn’t. I actually thought this through and decided on what would make a great treat to give someone you care about. […]

Pumpkin Pie Bars

Pumpkin Pie Bars

I saw this on Pinterest the other day. I thought it was so funny because all over Facebook and Cooking Web pages it is pumpkin all day every day! So I posted it on my Facebook wall and boy oh boy did it take off! I guess everyone can relate to the pumpkin fiesta going on right now until Thanksgiving! […]

Chicken and Corn Chowder

Chicken and Corn Chowder
By Isabelle at Home

Have you ever had something in the back of your brain that keeps on gnawing at you? When it comes to food I sometime feel like an idiot savant. I can read a recipe and 10 years later it will make a sudden appearance and my thoughts will be consumed by it. […]

Isabelle at Home: Green Tomato Bread

Green Tomato Bread

By Isabelle at Home

I know, it’s like I am trying to see how far I can take my weird ideas. BUT in my defense this is not truly my idea. Matt decided that since we have an ever-growing amount of green tomatoes from our “garden” (which in fact is really big plastic/rubber tubs around the chicken coop…real classy I must say!) we should make yummy stuff with all these tomatoes that don’t seem to get their beautiful red colors.

Spaghetti Bolognese

Spaghetti Bolognese
I have a HUGE weakness for Spaghetti Sauces. When I was a young girl (sounds like the beginning of a song doesn’t it?) I would walk to my Grandma’s house for lunch. My elementary school was a 10 minute walk and I always loved having her all to myself for lunch. My grandpa worked and wouldn’t come home for lunch, which meant my grandma and I would have some alone time. […]

Reese’s Chocolate Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Frosting

Reese’s Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Frosting
Matt and I, along with our friends Angie and Ryan coach 2 soccer teams. One is for our youngest daughters: Bear and other Bear (they are friends but could pass as twins!). The other team, U16, is for the oldest 2, my Sunshine and their “Sky” (not his real name but neither is Sunshine’s!) Not wanting to play favorite here, but all four adults have to admit that the U16 team is a much more fun team to coach. […]
