Chili with cornbread

Do not let anybody tell you chili can't be made on a weeknight. All you need is beans soaked the night before and a pressure cooker. If you have neither, use canned beans. :) Ingredients- 1 cup dried kidney beans, soaked overnight, then press...

Chances are if you're attending or hosting a 4th of July get together this weekend, potato salad will be involved. Usually it's potato salad purchased from a deli or one that comes in a tub, both utilizing mayonnaise as the binder. But instead of ...

nobody@vox.com(shippouchan) — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 20:57:53 -0700

I made bleuberrie moofins (okay, I’m just poking fun– but blueberry muffins ARE fun, right?) a few days ago. It was my first time making them, and I decided to make them healthier by using applesauce in place of much of the sugar. I also used veg...

nobody@vox.com(Mah) — Sat, 14 Jun 2008 10:15:23 -0700

I LOVE and adore banana pudding, real banana pudding. By real I mean the kind where you make the pudding from scratch and pour it warm over a bowl of yummy Nilla wafers and fresh cut bananas. That stuff with boxed pudding mix cannot even co...

CHOCOLATE GRAVY RECIPE ~ Unless you want to experience true love, do NOT make this recipe!

nobody@vox.com(Mah) — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 14:02:59 -0700

This morning I was making biscuits when my daughter announced that she wanted chocolate for breakfast. Hey, the gal is smart. Even at the tender age of three, she knows what she needs. As I mixed up my biscuit dough, I had one of those light bulb ...

Blueberries were on sale at our local grocery store yesterday. And of course I went shopping while hungry, so... I ended up coming home with 6 containers of blueberries. [Hey, it could have been worse!] Container #1 of blueberries contributed to ...

Chocolate Mint - For Real!

nobody@vox.com(Margy) — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 16:40:56 -0700

I just had my first sip of iced tea, made from a chocolate mint plant. The plant does have a mild aroma of chocolate about it, but I wasn't expecting anything beyond that. But, to my surprise, chocolate mint actually TASTES like chocolate mint! T...
