Cooking Tips #3
Butter for crisper cookies; margarine for softer cookies.
Cooking Tips #2
Today's cooking tip involves something I mentioned in last Friday's Jinxie's Kitchen post - pasta! Instead of rinsing pasta, coat the noodles with some of the sauce you've prepared. The reason we don't rinse the pasta is because the sauce will stick to it better. Basically, rinsing takes the starch off the pasta, which… Continue reading Cooking Tips #2
Red Clam Sauce
You've likely seen me talk/tweet about this recipe quite often, and the reason being is that it's yummy and quick and easy to make. I suppose if I’m going to share any Italian recipes with you it might help if I give you the base ingredient to most of them–the marinara sauce. Marinara means “no… Continue reading Red Clam Sauce
Cooking Tips #1
I've decided to add "cooking tips" to the blog for you. It dawned on me last night, after Unca T gave me a cooking tip while I made red clam sauce for him and the fam at g-ma's house, that this might be needed too. They will be short posts, just a quick note… Continue reading Cooking Tips #1

Most of my recipes are on note cards, which means I have no idea half the time… Continue reading Snickerdoodles!

This is a fairly simple… Continue reading Yorkshire Pudding

Fry Bread Ingredients: 5 cups of flour 1 tsp. Baking powder ½ tsp. salt 1 cup… Continue reading Fry Bread
Red Chili Stew
I found this recipe a couple of years back when working as a Life Skills Mentor for Native American teens. My girls absolutely loved it, and especially with Fry Bread, which will be next week's post, so get ready for some heart-stopping food! Red Chili Stew Ingredients: 2 lbs. pork, cut into small pieces… Continue reading Red Chili Stew
Lasagna
I know, it's taken forever for me to get this one up. I've been extremely busy with three different projects and on top of that, I'm about to move again. There will be some big announcements coming up soon, but nothing to do with cooking, so we'll just leave that be for now. =) Today, I… Continue reading Lasagna
