Olive Garden Chicken Pasta I love chicken crockpot recipes, and let me just say this olive garden crockpot chicken could be used for so much more than just pasta. It would make an awesome dip or an amazing stuffing for crescent rolls, so don’t think of it just as pasta from Olive Garden. Think of it as an amazing-tasting chicken dinner. Recipe Variations: You can use any salad dressing to make the sauce....
These homemade sourdough crackers are the perfect snack all on their own, or, for an extra treat, spread with soft cheese and top with a dollop of homemade jam. They are surprisingly quick, easily prepared while you’re waiting for your bread to rise, though you can also refrigerate the cracker dough for up to 24 hours. I’ve been making homemade sourdough bread, at least a loaf every other week, for almost a year now....

Normally I am wholeheartedly against crispy cookies. Give me soft and chewy any day. The one exception being gingersnaps. Soft gingersnaps? That’s just an oxymoron. They are called gingerSNAPS, not gingerCHEWS, and it follows that they should be snappy. If you want soft, why not try these soft Molasses Snickerdoodles instead? The other thing about gingersnaps is they must taste like ginger; the more the better. Much like my ginger beer obsession, if I can’t taste the ginger, they’re not even worth eating....

Kumquats. Quiche. Quinoa. Quesadillas. Is the letter Q staging an uprising? All we need is some quince and we’d have it covered. Because I don’t think there are any other Q foods. That I can think of at least. Quiche is one of those foods that gets a bad wrap. When I think of quiche, I think of finicky formal breakfast food. Too fancy for a normal meal. Something that needs white gloves and a mimosa on the side....
Have we ever talked about baker’s instinct? You know when you’re baking cookies, chilling on the couch while they bake, and happen to stand up 9 seconds before the timer goes off? Or when you, on a whim, dip your finger into the cake batter before pouring it into the pans, only to realize you forgot the sugar? That’s baker’s instinct (of course, a baker with REAL instinct probably wouldn’t have forgotten the sugar to begin with, but that’s beside the point…) Well, apparently there is a canner’s instinct too, which I discovered a few weekends ago when I hit the Damson jackpot....

Gingerbread is a holiday tradition around here. Every year I pull out my grandma Bettie’s recipe and whip up a big batch to ship to family. And every year I try to figure out a different way to decorate them, seeing as my past attempts at flooded iced cookies were, um, less than perfect. Last year I got so frustrated that I went all jackson pollock on the suckers, furiously splattering them with three different kinds of chocolate....
