Microwave Voodoo: Lean Cuisine Chicken, Mushroom and Spinach Panini

March 26, 2008

I just ate the craziest thing for lunch. It was a Lean Cuisine Chicken, Mushroom and Spinach Panini and via some magical means (this strange silver coating on the package) it grilled itself in the microwave. Yes those are grill marks in the photo. Thanks iPhone! Equally shocking was that the sandwich actually tasted good [...]

Baked Sweet Potato Latkes

March 9, 2008

My love of potatoes knows no bounds. I’m especially fond of breakfast potatoes. This morning when I woke up and started rummaging around in the refrigerator for something to eat on this bright Sunday morning I was instantly drawn to last nights leftover casserole of scalloped potatoes, zucchini, red peppers and ham. “Eat me Erin!

Contessa Chicken Salad

February 17, 2008

Did you eat Miracle Whip when you were a kid? Because I did. A lot. I vividly recall having a conversation with my doctor at one point about what kind of sandwiches I liked to eat. My cute response of Miracle Whip and Cheese on White Bread really didn’t seem to impress him very much. [...]

Butterscotch Morsels

November 26, 2007

Most of my favorite Holiday memories involve some form of decorating or baking. I’ve always loved Christmas. I was the kid who would beg to put up the tree starting in October. I made Christmas countdowns and scoured the Sears Wish Book making extravagant and detailed lists of the toys and gadgets that I just [...]

Cornish Hen and Sweet Potatoes

October 29, 2007

Yet another reason to love Nigella Lawson: her express meals apparently really can be made in a reasonable amount of time. What a concept!? After watching the first episode of Nigella Express on the Food Network I added her recipe for Roast Cornish Hen with Sweet Potatoes to my “to do” list so I’d remember [...]

Amy Sedaris’s Aunt Joyce’s Brownies

August 29, 2007

I purchased Amy Sedaris’s book last December and like most of my cookbooks, glanced at it once, had a good chuckle and never took it off the shelf again. That is until last week. I was craving junk food. Something quick, chocolate, and not cookies. I stood in front of the baker’s rack staring at [...]
