Pumpkin Cream Cheese French Toast Casserole
I’ve held off for as long as I could. Pumpkin-everything is coming, and it’s coming in hot; so go ahead and yield to it. I, personally, have been on a slow cooker kick lately. Since the use of my stove or oven heats this apartment up to ungodly temperatures, I’m forgoing their use as much…
Make Ahead Western Omelet Baked Potatoes
Today is my 20th wedding anniversary. Guess what I’m doing? I’m recipe-testing and trying to discourage my 14 year-old daughter from changing her writing style from Laura Ingalls Wilder to E.A. Poe. American Literature has somehow caused her to want to make a change to the macabre. Yep! Life only gets more glamourous the older…

French Fries with Rosemary and Lemon Aioli
Aioli is quite similar to mayonnaise, but this version is heavy on garlic and lemon flavors. A dip for crisp and fluffy french fries, it’s a recipe you need to know.

Cucumber Lime Agua Fresca AKA fresh water AKA juice AKA “help-me-survive-this-heat-wave” will get us all through these dog days of summer. Four…
