Caramelized Popcorn

By
2 cubes butter

heart cookies

By
got this recipe from martha for valentine's day.  it is a mix between an oatmeal cookie and a shortbread cookie and oh so yummy.  i'll be taking these to a preschool party and around to some of my friends tomorrow.  they are reminiscent of graham crackers and chocolate frosting, which my husband and kids love, so i'm hoping they enjoy these.  the dough turned out be a bit different than the recipe claims, but i made it work.  i've changed the recipe only slightly-i dipped the hearts in melted chocolate chips rather than sandwiching nutella between two cookies.   one great tip on melting chocolate is do it in the microwave!  it's so easy and you don't have to worry about a double-boiler and all that clean up.  ina garten, the barefoot contessa and one of my cooking idols, gives a great explanation on how to do it here .  i'm sure the nutella way would be good, too.  it's just not something i regularly have in my pan...

sunday slow cooker: red beans and rice

hash brown quiche

sorry i've been m.i.a. for a while.  i haven't really been m.i.a.  i just moved across the country in the middle of the first trimester of my third pregnancy and i've been a little wonky the past few months.  (ask my husband)  while in the throngs of packing up our house full of junk, er... things, i just couldn't keep up with all my responsibilities, so the blog had to go...temporarily.  plus, i mean really, along with all the yucks of those first few months like feeling like your stomach is turning inside out and you can barely keep control of your balance and you don't even want to think about food, i had a strange aversion to all things cyberspace.  even the thought of facebook or checking my email or this blog sent me into a spin of nausea.  strange, i know.  i can't really explain it.  i do have a friend who said when she was pregnant she had a strange aversion to certain people.  anytime she saw someone in particu...
