Rosemary Polenta

I absolutely love polenta. It’s just so yummy! It’s good as a cake or as a thick and creamy side dish. But up until recently I’d only had it in restaurants. Whenever a restaurant had polenta listed as a side dish, I ordered it. That’s how much I like it. Even if my entree came… Continue reading Rosemary Polenta

Hot Chocolate with Baileys Irish Cream

At the end of October I discovered the brilliant Cooking with Caitlin and their wonderful Foodies Night In on Twitter. Foodies Night In is a group of food bloggers who get together every Monday from 4-6 EST and talk about a specific food topic from wine, to entrees, to entertaining. Of course the one I happened upon was… Continue reading Hot Chocolate with Baileys Irish Cream

Apple Flan

Every year when the stone fruit comes out, my mother makes a peach flan. I know the picture doesn’t look like a flan, it looks like a fruit tart, but my mother always referred to it as a flan, so the title stuck. Anyway, whenever there was a party in the spring or summer, my… Continue reading Apple Flan

Eggnog

I haven’t done a drink recipe on here, yet. But it’s the holidays and this is the time of year that two of my favorite alcoholic concoctions are flowing pretty freely. Since there are a few weeks left of holiday parties and get togethers or even if you’re just looking for something to make for… Continue reading Eggnog

Chocolate Mint Cookies for Eat my Blog December 2010

As some of you may recall, I participated in the Eatmyblog 2.0 in June where we raised over $5400. Since June’s bake sale was such a huge success, I told Cathy Dahn of Gastronomy Blog that I’d be more than happy to bake something new for Eatmyblog 3.0. For those of you who don’t know, Eatmyblog is a… Continue reading Chocolate Mint Cookies for Eat my Blog December 2010

No More Dinners Because of My New Job

Hi there. No pics today because this is just a quick post letting you all know that a few things will be changing on Kitchy Cooking. I recently got a job. I’m thrilled. What am I doing, you ask? Well, I’m a food columnist over at Sheknows.com. Yes, I’ve taken over their Tonight’s Dinner column… Continue reading No More Dinners Because of My New Job

Potato and Green Onion Latkes

First I want to apologize to my readers for being absent the past couple weeks. Between traveling for Thanksgiving, having a cold run though the entire family, and trying to get back to normal, it was hard to check e-mail let alone post a recipe or two to the blog. But now I and the… Continue reading Potato and Green Onion Latkes

Pumpkin Pudding

As I mentioned in an earlier post this month I am not a fan of pumpkin pie. I find it flat and boring. But I do love pumpkin, pumpkin bread, pumpkin cheesecake, pumpkin waffles… pretty much anything else except pumpkin pie. And of course I’m in charge of a dessert for Thanksgiving this year since I… Continue reading Pumpkin Pudding

Sweet Potato Marshmallow Bars with White Chocolate Chips

Last week Kelly over at Evil Shenanigans posted a recipe for White Chocolate, Cranberry, Pecan and Sweet Potato Cookies. While the pictures looked amazing and made me want to eat each and every one, I realized I’d never thought about using sweet potatoes to make a cookie. Then I remembered there’s sweet potato pie and… Continue reading Sweet Potato Marshmallow Bars with White Chocolate Chips

Mashed Yams and Apples

Yams are a huge part of Thanksgiving dinner. They’ve always been one of my favorite sides, especially since I’m not a mashed potato fan. I pretty much like them any way you want to serve them: sliced, whole, in a casserole with marshmallows on top, mashed… every year it’s something different at my house. And every… Continue reading Mashed Yams and Apples
