It was such a treat to have my sister here last week for her spring break! We had a wonderful time together and spent a lot of time in the kitchen. I taught her how to make bread, and *hopefully* inspired her to venture into some cooking of her own :)

(made with no-rise dough)
(with Irish Soda Bread)

The weather was soooo nice, we decided to grill one evening -- New York White Hot Dogs -- a rare treat around here! We had homemade hotdog buns, sweet potato fries and pickles too!
The time is now ticking towards my dissertation defense. I have two weeks before I submit it to my committee and then two more weeks until my defense. {insert little mini freak out here}. One of my great ways to manage stress is to cook -- so, I'm looking forward to our menu this week!

ReplyDeleteOkay, those key lime bars... cannot wait to get my hands on that recipe!
ReplyDeleteAnd I hope to see that Pizza Hut Pan Pizza too. We love pizza around here and I've been searching and searching and searching for a Pizza Hut alternative since it's way expensive to get it on a regular basis!
So nice your sis came to visit. I wish I could talk my sis into coming into the kitchen and cooking with me. That is a treat!!!
Also looking forward to the Key Lime bars recipe! I will check out your Ricotta Pancakes recipe as well, the husband and I were discussing ricotta in pancakes...he wasn't sold on it. :)

ReplyDeleteMmm, those key lime bars sound so good. Can't wait til you can share the recipe.

I hope all goes well as you finish and prepare to defend your dissertation. Lucky for all of us that you plan to relieve the stress in the kitchen. ;-)
Wednesday night sounds like something I may try. What's the "garlic chicken" part of the recipe?
