Peach Crunch Cake

I REALLY want to try this one out.

From the Bakerella link on the right... I found this:
Peach Crunch Cake

Potato Soup recipe....

Bacon & Potato Soup

chicken bites

jill reminded me recently how fabulous these ritz/parmesan cheese chicken bites are. she makes them frequently and i hadn't had them in years. so i made these last week. use about 3/4 sleeve of ritz crackers and 1/4 cup parmesan cheese. use food processor to crush up crackers and blend with cheese.

cut up 1 lb chicken into bite-size pieces.
dip into melted butter (do you have a healthier alternative that will still be effective and tasty?)
then dip into cracker mixture
place on baking sheet. i lined with parchment paper (my recent addiction).

bake at 400* for about 30 minutes. flip half way through to evenly crisp.

we enjoyed with a brown/white rice mixture and veggies.
tasty with anything... as long as you have bbq sauce on the plate!

once again - pic from my phone!

lindsay's 'healthy cookies'

Healthy Cookies

Today is supposed to be a non-stop torrential downpour so I am not planning on going anywhere I don't have to. Rain makes me want to bake cookies for some reason...but knowing I'll be around the house most of the day I knew I'd eat tons of cookies if I made them. So I looked at allrecipes and found a HEALTHY COOKIE RECIPE.

I made a couple modifications. First, I only used 1/8 C of both white and brown sugar. Then I used a little less than 1/4 C agave nectar. Next I decreased the white flour by half and made up for it with whole wheat flour. In half the dough (for me!!) I put chopped walnuts. In the other half I put chocolate chips to appease Riley. Yum! I totally would have put raisins if I had them on hand.

onion goggles

just saw onion goggles on the saveur.com site from the right.

seriously, there is a product out there that will protect you from crying while cutting up onions. or you can use your scooter goggle sunglasses.

lindays' cheesecake... but

so this is the cheesecake i made for work today. as you can even see in the darn phone camera picture... there were some small lumps throughout. it still is SUPER tasty. but lindsay, what is your secret to that?!

oh, and this is with blueberry pie filling. YUM!
