These are a tribute to Starvin’ Arvin’s in Grand Junction – the originator of the Green Supreme.  I was missing them the other day and decided to try my hand at making up my own.  It helped that I had some green chili on hand (leftover from the camping trip potluck the night before). WHAT [...]

This is one of the more basic batters for crepes, but whe you don’t have a lot on hand and you want a crepe, it does the job! 2 eggs 2 cups flour (Wondra is recommended, but any will work) 2 cups water (we often do 1/2 milk) 2 Tbsp. melted butter 2 Tbsp. sugar [...]

I was awakened this morning to the industrious sounds of my husband and daughter making these for the rest of the family.  They are an amazing smell to wake up to, and I thought I’d share them.  Oh yeah, they taste pretty good too.

While I was looking at recipes though, cinnamon rolls kept showing up alongside the dinner rolls in google. I love google, it is where [...]

The end of Summer is here, and if you planted it in your garden – and the slugs didn’t eat it all – you may just have a plethora of zucchini lying around waiting to go bad.  What to do? Make muffins. Well, you can make bread if you want to, but the muffins seem [...]

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so you need to make sure it’s a good one! The kids are heading back to school next week, so we are enjoying the last few days of having “weekend breakfast” during the week, and today was no exception! I came across a recipe for Mayan [...]
