Cinnamon Streusel Muffins

I love cookbooks, especially bright ones with photographs of all the recipes. I'm a terribly visual person, so a cookbook with no pictures I steer away from. For Christmas, I told my husband I wanted "a cookbook from Costco." In my experience, Costco always has the best cookbooks. I knew if I sent him that direction, I'd end up okay. The man pulled through. I ended up with two fabulous Costco-approved cookbooks, among other things. In a typical Sarah fashion, I put the fabulous cookbooks on my cookbook shelf and...

Macaroni and Cheese

When asked what their comfort food is, many people frequently respond that it is macaroni and cheese. I know this because I watch the Food Channel.

That's not true. I don't have cable anymore.

Macaroni and cheese is definitely one of my comfort foods. While no one is going to run around claiming its health benefits, I think we can all agree it's pretty delicious stuff. 

Creamy Poppyseed Chicken

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! I hope you have someone you love to cuddle up with and share this special day with you, even if it's just your snuggly little children. If you don't, I hope you enjoy your Single's Awareness Day, and just think how the rest of us fondly remember the days we could walk into Walmart without saying "no" 458 times and at least one potty trip. Ah, blessings.

Love Brownies

Ok, I know I've totally slacked off on posting. My lame-o excuse #1 is that I cook and bake in the evenings and during the winter the light is non-existent. The lighting in my kitchen is terrible to cook by, forget about photography! That's my biggest excuse coupled with other even lamer excuses (such as "I forgot to take pictures of what I just made," "My kitchen is a mess, there's no way I'm taking pictures right now," "I've posted about this already, I'm in such a food rut," or my favorite, "Cooking? Forget it, I'm taking a nap."

Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread

Last Saturday, I needed to get out of the house. Like, really. My husband rarely understands this need since he's hardly ever home during the week. But since I hardly ever leave the house, except for trips to and from the school, on weekends I gotta get out. I talk and beg and sometimes I can get him to come out with me. This weekend was a total fail on that front. 

Creamy Mashed Potatoes

Mmm, the Holidays! It's the one time of year we happily loosen our belts and indulge ourselves in the yummy food we've been withholding ourselves from all year! Or maybe it's the one time a year we happily admit we eat stuff like homemade mashed potatoes? 

Bread and Celery Stuffing

I realized the other day that my blog had reached its one year blogiversary! I had great plans to post some great recipes for some great food but... life got in the way.
