By Tamera, on April 8th, 2009% With KLT living most of the time in Nashville cooking has just about come to a halt around here. Why cook for just me? Who wants to eat left overs for weeks on end? This has really lead me to research cooking for the purpose of preserving. Most importantly freezing. This has been a great adventure and at least I make an excuse to cook which is something I love and most importantly I actually eat. So Beef Veggie Soup sounded like a good idea to work in before the weather breaks and it becomes too warm for soup.

By Tamera, on March 7th, 2009% Well Deb over at Smitten Kitchen posted this Irish Carbomb Cup Cake recipe she had made these for a friend. Well KLT and I just LOVE IRISH CARBOMBS!!! So of course I have to make these cup cakes. Now I don’t want to ruin it for you but I was disappointed in the over all end product. The cake part is great, the ganache is really wonderful and the Baileys Irish Cream frosting is AWESOME! I just feel that the flavors are not evenly distributed enough. KLT however likes the hidden surprise of ganache. So what’s in store for Tammy? I have 2 thoughts on this matter 1) try to . . . → Read More: Irish Carbomb Cup Cakes
By Tamera, on February 6th, 2009% I am annoyed at every grocery retailer in town. REALLY ANNOYED! I love garlic and I love to cook with garlic. Now of course there are many garlic options in the grocery store you can buy whole cloves of garlic peeled and in a jar, it’s a great convenience but they tend to go bad prematurely and are a bit expensive. There are even glass containers of already pressed/minced garlic and they come mostly packed in oil. This is a nice substitute to have around and has a pretty good shelf life. Then there is the “FRESH” garlic and the root of all my anger. Every store in town that . . . → Read More: Ahhhh Garlic
By Tamera, on December 30th, 2008% I love French Onion Soup and have tried many different variations and even tried it at many different restaurants. Over time I have resolved that there are certain things that I prefer. Like toasted bread instead of fresh, I also like to cut it into cubes and place it in the bottom instead of floating a slice on top. My cheese of choice is Monterrey Jack. I do have some ideas that I would like to try once I have a fancy cheese outlet.
Ingredients:
Guinness Beer – most of one bottle Onions, sliced or julian which ever makes you happy cloves of garlic – 4 cloves chopped, pressed which . . . → Read More: Guinness French Onion Soup
By Tamera, on December 28th, 2008% Yes my post are all kinds of “out of order” and I apologize now. I also will make it a New Year’s Resolution to get my butt back in gear and start cooking and writing again for my loyal readers.
Christmas this year was without a doubt different and probably not one of our favorites. I do however predict that in several years when we are standing in our OMG HUGE house with every family member and every friend we can stuff in there to enjoy Christmas us looking at each other and saying “remember in 2008 when we spent Christmas alone in that crummy apartment”. We have each . . . → Read More: Christmas Day FOOD and lots of it
