Perfect Sugar Cookies

Today I’m posting the recipe I use for making rolled sugar cookies. I have used many different recipes, but this one is far and away the best. The flavor is not too sweet, and not too flour-y. To me, they are just right. Hopefully you enjoy them as much as I do! 😀 This recipe…… Continue reading Perfect Sugar Cookies

Homemade Chicken Stock

I found myself with a pack of chicken wings on my hands that were expiring on the same day, but I wasn’t in the mood for wings. So, instead of letting them go to waste, I decided to make some homemade chicken stock to freeze for use at a later date! I plan to use…… Continue reading Homemade Chicken Stock

So, as you may have noticed, my food photography is not the greatest. But I’m trying to learn. No, I didn’t take ^that photo. This guy did. But this is the type of photo I’m referring to, when I mention professional food photography. The use of light and shadows, with the contrasting colors on the…… Continue reading Food Photography

Hi, I’m Cathy, and I’m addicted to kitchen gadgets. No, I don’t want to seek help for it. It’s fine, I swear. I dream of a kitchen with infinite storage, and am always trying to optimize the storage I currently have to help facilitate my addiction. I’m sure this is completely healthy behavior, and in…… Continue reading Favorite Kitchen Tools

Mocha Almond Frappucino

Something is missing from my blog. If you know me, then you may have noticed that somehow I have posted four entire recipes without a SINGLE dessert to be found. This could be a sign of the apocalypse. But don’t worry… I’m about to right this wrong. I bring you…. Bliss. To achieve nirvana, you…… Continue reading Mocha Almond Frappucino

Bear with me, folks. This post is a long one. This recipe sounds complicated and includes a lot of ingredients, but it’s really not that bad. I adapted it from Rachael Ray’s Thai Chicken Pizza recipe, but made several adjustments. It only takes around 30 mins to prep and cook. Honest. Here’s what you’ll need:…… Continue reading Asian (ish) Chicken Pizza

Today I’m posting how I made Dusted Chipotle BBQ Wings (Quaker Steak & Lube style), but you could use any flavor. I ordered the sauce and seasoning shaker from their website, but I’m not trying to plug them, so you could use any BBQ sauce and/or seasoning. Please note that I will usually not be…… Continue reading Quaker Steak & Lube Chicken Wings

There are few things in life that I love more than Mexican restaurant-style salsa. The Mexican restaurant near our old apartment in Glasgow served the best salsa I’ve ever had, and I experimented for months trying to find the perfect combination of flavors. I really started to panic when I realized we would be moving…… Continue reading Salsa!
