Buffalo Chicken Cheese Ball
Posted by Tracy | Filed under appetizers
One of my favorite things to make for Super Bowl weekend is buffalo chicken dip. However, if hubby and I are going to a party somewhere else, sometimes I don’t feel like lugging along my 9×13″ baking dish. I decided that this year, I was going to take everything I love about that dip and [...]
Farfalle with Bacon, Onion, and Gouda
Posted by Tracy | Filed under dinner
I just have to preface this post by saying that this is NOT diet food. While TV commercials, blogs, magazines, gyms, and weight loss programs are all pushing for everyone to get on a health kick right now that they likely won’t sustain past the end of the month, I’m going to keep on sticking to [...]
Cheddar and Parsley Biscuits
Posted by Tracy | Filed under breads & pastries
I have a confession to make. When I saw these cheddar and parsley biscuits on Jen’s blog a few months ago, I made them immediately. And I kept making them. In fact, I made them pretty much every time we had soup or chili…which, as the weather turned colder and colder, was a lot. In [...]

In addition to all of the lovely goodies that everyone brought to the Big Summer Potluck, we were also given a few products to sample, including some amazingly creamy goat cheese. There happened to be some left over at the end of the day, so our hostesses generously gave it to us to take home…and [...]

Cheddar Chive Muffins
Posted by Tracy | Filed under breakfast & brunch
Upon receiving a whole bunch of chives from our CSA over the past few weeks, I put my mind to work thinking of ways I could use them other than as a garnish. No sooner had I decided that I wanted to bake something than these savory muffins sprang to mind! These are very unlike your [...]
Bacon-Swiss Scones
Posted by Tracy | Filed under breakfast & brunch
Normally, the scones I make are of the sweet variety. Vanilla bean are hubby’s favorite, and I often make orange scones as well (I suppose I should get to photographing those so that I can post the recipe). This time however, I was thinking savory thoughts…and while hubby wasn’t too keen on them since he [...]
