Another Cheesy Adventure...Mascarpone!
This month's adventure in home cheese making was that delicious Italian Cream Cheese known as Mascarpone! You all know my cheesy partner in crime, she who lives in the kitchen with puppies...otherwise known as Natashya, right? Well, we're getting pretty good at this simple, fresh cheese making if I do say so myself! We started with a recipe...2 ingredients!...and ended up adapting slightly in order to make a seemingly less than stellar result turn around. I started it Tuesday and finished it today (Friday)...but the majority of that time I was planning, cooking, eating and enjoying Turkey

Gobble, Gobble...and a side dish superstar!!!
I feel kind of guilty not posting an actual Thanksgiving Feast today....but only kinda. There was no way in h. e. double hockey sticks that I was going to have time to actually take time away from the mad-house cooking and planning and Pumpkin Beer drinking to sort through and edit pictures and lay i

(everything but the) Kitchen Sink Soup
I made this waaaaaay back in the beginning of summer. It's just been sitting there in my ridiculous foodie photo file folder fingy (oh, alliteration...fun!) waiting for me to snatch it up and talk about it. I know I said fingy. I like to amuse myself. This was one one of those days when I was cleaning out the leftovers and pantry extras. I can't recall much about it other than it was pretty tasty. I'm really just looking for an easy way to get a post up...you know, Turkey day prep and all...

Pumpkin Brioche CINNAMON ROLLS!!! You want one...doncha!?
There's no stoppin' me now! Me and the BBY are getting to know each other. And we like what we see. I even made cinnamon rolls that you didn't have to pop from a can first! Not that I'll totally shun that convenience, because yeast takes time...but I will definitely make them from scratch any chance I get! When I made the Pumpkin Pie Brioche dough last week as a part of the new baking group

Schnitzel. Say it with me. Schnitzel.
It's POTLUCK week over at I Heart Cooking Clubs right now...so I figured I'd make a Nigella dish I'd been dying to try, but hadn't actually made the time yet. Little did I know, time was not a factor! Seriously quick dish...4 ingredients...ingredients I usually have on hand anyway...that will become a regular visitor to my kitchen. And it has a word that's fun to say: Schnitzel. Go ahead...say it few times. Schnitzel. Schnitzel. Schnitzel. Go ahead, use an accent. Use it in a sentence. Fun, right? What's a schnitzel you say? Why, simply put...it is a cutlet without bones. Schnitzel
