Wonder why I say 'healthy recipes' and then tell you to add a stick of butter?

More Easy Bread Dough Recipes: Pretzel Dogs!

Posted by Gwendelynn Brown on Thursday, March 22, 2012, In : Main Dishes

When I first started making the No-Knead-Refrigerator-Dough-easy bread recipe, I thought it was pretty spectacular. It's the recipe that I've gotten the most positive feedback about so far, so I think you guys are liking it too. The more I experiment with it, the more I realize that I really underestimated how life changing this one little recipe is. I mean, have you tried the pizza? Friday night IS pizza night at our house, and take out just isn't an option now. It...

The Best Meatloaf Recipe Ever

Posted by Gwendelynn Brown on Friday, January 13, 2012, In : Main Dishes

This IS the best meatloaf recipe ever...according to my son. "The kids in my class were CRAZY...they didn't LIKE meatloaf! I couldn't believe it. I guess it's just because they had cafeteria meatloaf." I'm generally not a fan of tooting-my-own-horn, but the other suggestion was 'meat muffins'...and that just didn't sound appetizing.

Truly, though, this is a very awesome meatloaf recipe, and I think you should try it, even if you like your current recipe, or if you have family members w...

Fajita Recipe

Posted by Gwendelynn Brown on Wednesday, November 16, 2011, In : Main Dishes

Mmmm...can you hear the lime fajita recipe sizzling? I crave good, savory food this time of year, and this is such a simple, quick dinner with loads of flavor. It's a nice change from sugar cookies and cheeseballs. And it's *fast*...as in 'set the table before you start heating the pan' fast.
And delicious. It's definitely man pleasin' vittles.

Oh, and I've been playing around with a new way to do a printable recipe...check the end of the post for the link!

This is what you'll need t...

Garlic Chicken Recipe

40 clove garlic chicken recipe

First, I have never, ever have used anywhere close to 40 cloves in this dish, and it always turns out fantastic.

Second, this is awesome...if you have never tasted roasted garlic, then you're majorly missing out. Just like fresh onions are a totally different experience than caramelized onions, garlic also goes through a major flavor transformation in the oven. It has a richness, and a sweeter flavor when it's roasted. The flavor is milder than garlic bread, an...

Soda Pop Recipe

Here's a yummy soda pop recipe for times when you want a treat! I prefer to avoid high fructose corn syrup and artificial colors, but we still like special drinks. This is what I made for the kids when they were participating in Mama's work camp a few days ago...

It couldn't be easier! You'll need

One bottle of carbonated water or seltzer water, and a container of juice concentrate.

Pour the juice concentrate into a pitcher.

Next, use the juice container and refill it four times with sparkli...

Granola Bar Recipe

Posted by Gwendelynn Brown on Tuesday, October 19, 2010, In : Snacks

This is the granola bar recipe of my dreams.

I'd been on the hunt for a way to make my own granola bars for a couple of years now. I kept finding recipes that required lots of ingredients, and too many steps. Like "Make a double batch of granola, and then use it to make bars with this recipe."

Not. Happening.

I wanted a recipe that was simple.
Fast and easy would also be good.
And versatile, because I get bored easily.
Plus, they had to be delicious, and use stuff that I already have in m...
