This morning I was perusing my google reader feed and came across a recipe for apple bread on Kitchen Parade. I had the ingredients necessary so decided to try the recipe.
The recipe called for Granny Smith apples. I didn’t have those on hand, but did have Galas, so I used them instead.
I mixed the wet [...]

I found this BBQ chicken and cornbread casserole recipe. Thought it sounded interesting, and decided to do something similar.
I sprayed the crock pot with cooking spray and put raw boneless skinless chicken breasts and thighs in the bottom. The recipe called for cooking the chicken prior to putting it in the crock pot, but [...]

Yesterday DD and I tried our hand at making focaccia, an Italian flat bread. I used this recipe, which was good, but am going to try a different one next time (using milk instead of water), in an effort to find one we LOVE. I added 1/2 tsp. salt and about a tablespoon of olive [...]
