Lately, I’ve been having a lot of dreams about surviving the Zombie Apocolapyse with Rick Grimes and the gang. I’m not sure why they find in their hearts to take Dream-Sara into their group, instead of leaving me screaming on the side of the road as I chase after their car, or shooting me in a bar, or … Continue reading
Bloody Mary Shrimp
It’s official. I already know what I’m bringing to Christmas Eve 2013 for the Trombetta’s Feast of Seven (totally-not-traditional) Fishes. I made this Bloody Mary Shrimp appetizer because I needed something with a gorey name (and blood is gorey… more on this Friday: stay tuned!). We completely fell in love with this recipe as soon as … Continue reading
Bacon-Wrapped Drumsticks
A few months ago, I sent Yuseff an e mail at work asking what he wanted to eat for dinner. He replied with a picture of something that looked extremely complicated, but also unbelievably delicious: So, obviously there was no way we weren’t having Bacon-Wrapped Drumsticks for dinner. And to my surprise, they weren’t neccessarily … Continue reading
Sweet Potato Yams
Way back in November, the primary department at Marco’s school had a special Thanksgiving Day Feast and the parents were asked to send in contributions. So, I filled out the little sign up sheet… I checked the box next to the item that said “I can donate food to the feast…” I did not check the box next to “I would like … Continue reading
Fiyero’s Pumpkin Puppy Treats
Around Thanksgiving, I had some leftover pumpkin puree after making a great big batch of Pumpkin Rolls. I heard somewhere that pumpkin is good for puppies, so I decided to make some delicious treats for our little pup. I found a recipe online, and then read all of the reviews of the recipe, where I … Continue reading
Footography Friday: Paletas Please
Even though it’s been wintery and cold in Pittsburgh, we are still enjoying frozen treats after dinner. In an attempt to cut calories, we’ve replaced our good friends Ben & Jerry with tasty homemade fruit paletas. This one is Strawberries ‘n’ Cream, and we also made batches of Blueberries ‘n’ Cream, and Banana. Recipes are coming … Continue reading
Tedde Sisters Bake: Cinnamon Rolls with Maple Coffee Frosting
Last week, I posted a tantalizing teaser of these super scrumptious Cinnamon Rolls that my sister and I made for Christmas morning. We made the rolls on Christmas Eve (it took all day, because there is a LOT of downtime for this recipe while you wait for milk to cool and dough to rise), and then … Continue reading
Foodtography Friday: A New Tradition
This year for Christmas, my sister Lisa and I started a new holiday tradition. Our brother loves cinnamon rolls, so we made a great big batch using a recipe that Lisa found on Pinterest. We had so much fun figuring it out and really splitting the work equally (right down to her sprinkling cinnamon on … Continue reading
Red Wine Reduction Sauce
Over the summer, Yuseff and I made a bunch of pre-prepped freezer meals, including a couple of batches of Herb-Wine Chicken. The first time we made it, we just dumped in a baking dish, stuck it in the oven, and ate it plain. It was good, but something was missing… So, the next time we … Continue reading
Foodtography Friday: Little Cupcakes
One day, my sister was walking through Manhattan and found Baked By Melissa, the cutest little bakery selling the cutest little cupcakes. So, she did the most logical thing she could think of… she shipped 50 of them to my house for Marco. Now, they are a special Marco and Aunt Lis treat, so we … Continue reading
