I Breathe...I'm Hungry...: Cheesy Cauliflower Tater Tots

10 Minute Banana Bread Almost every weekend I bake. Lately I've been trying different recipes using my sourdough starter. At other times I baked yeasted artisan breads and sandwich breads. But one thing has remained constant: almost every time I have the oven heated for baking I make a batch of banana bread. Frozen Reese’s Peanut Butter Pie My sisters and I are about 3 years apart in age, and we have a lot in common…although there is one thing that ‘bonds’ us in a downright silly way…(to the point that we act like 5th graders when it’s around!) That one thing is Peanut Butter!!! I’m not really sure what started this ‘peanut butter’ phenomenon between the three of us, but my bet is that it had something to do with the rich chocolate peanut butter cake my mom used to make for our birthday when we were growing up! Well…The years of eating a huge slice of cake (with endless amounts of saturated fat) eventually must come to an end… (lets consider the health of our hearts here people…not just calories!) However, the desire to have a traditional birthday celebration (and the cake that comes with it) never dies, no matter how old your turning!

So I took that as the perfect cue to hop on a plane to sunny California at the crack of dawn this morning to (hopefully) meet the man of my dreams. (Yay!)

Cauliflower Crust Pizza I came across this cauliflower crust pizza on Pinterest, and was instantly intrigued. A low-carb pizza? Sign me up! I was skeptical, of course, but curious enough to try it and see how it tasted. Easy Lemon Crepes with Blueberry Sauce for Voskos Light pillows of Heaven. That's what these delicate crepes taste like. They remind me of pancakes I used to get at a particular restaurant, only these are non-greasy and don't leave you with a stomach ache. They're impressive, but easy to prepare with Greek yogurt and lemon curd as the filling. Recently my girlfriends and I were talking about how much we love lemon curd. I have always loved it the traditional (read, fattening) way - with scones.

Stuffed Artichokes Recipe : Anne Burrell Directions Cook's Note: Before starting this recipe be aware that there is a lot of waste involved in artichokes. It's ok. Funeral Potatoes There are certain dishes that have to be made on Thanksgiving in our family. Some of those include my aunt’s super yummy Ham, my mom’s rolls, and several side dishes, including Funeral Potatoes (also known as Hashed Brown Cheese Casserole). Yes, we do have regular Mashed Potatoes as well (recipe to come later this week), but we always have a least to pans of Funeral Potatoes. Usually one has onions in it, and the other one does not (for us picky folk).
