Warm Potato Salad with Bacon and Onion Recipe

May 18, 2012 By Robyn

Since I posted the recipe for my Mama’s Southern Potato Salad I haven’t been able to stop thinking about the other potato salad. The one I loved so when we traveled in Germany. Warm, bacon-y, light, and oddly enough it had no mayonnaise, eggs, or mustard. I decided as soon as I published the Southern [...]

Challah Bread Recipe

May 16, 2012 By Robyn

I used to take it for granted. The smell of yeast as it foams in the bowl, gnawing away at the sugar feeding it. It is a smell I’ve always known, one that would greet me as I walked into either of my Grandmother’s kitchens as they prepared loaves of bread for sandwiches or rolls [...]

Springtime Asparagus Tart Recipe

May 11, 2012 By Robyn

Bright green stalks of asparagus are popping up all around lately – at our local farmer’s market and in the produce department at my grocery store. I keep kicking myself that they would also be shooting up in my garden right about now if I’d just have planted them a few years ago when [...]

Jalapeno Tuna Melt Recipe

May 6, 2012 By Robyn

Growing up, one of my favorite meals that my Mama would make were her tuna melts. Now, I’m sure they were most likely like every other tuna melt that Mama’s across the country were making for their families, but my Mama’s tuna melts always tasted extra special. Even better than the tuna melts that I’d [...]

Shrimp Pasta with Arugula and Walnut Pesto Recipe

May 4, 2012 By Robyn

My husband and son are in and out this weekend so I decided to make myself a quick lunch just for me. What is it about cooking for yourself when you are used to cooking for everyone else that leaves you scratching your head as to what you want to eat? I walked around [...]

Arugula and Walnut Pesto Recipe

May 2, 2012 By Robyn

Lately, I’ve been craving pesto but have gone through all of my basil pesto that I made and stored away last summer. Unfortunately, my basil hasn’t come in for major use. What has been plentiful lately at my grocery store has been fresh arugula. I decided to make a arugula and walnut pesto to fill [...]

How to Make Self-Rising Flour

April 27, 2012 By Robyn

Lately, I have only been buying all-purpose flour at the grocery store. A few years ago, I kept a canister filled with all-purpose flour and another filled with self-rising on my kitchen counter. What I noticed was that I used my all-purpose flour a lot more quickly than I used the self-rising, leaving the self-rising [...]
