Pineapple-Basil Chicken Salad and Roasted Squash & Gouda Soup

by gidget food

This recipe is by no means an exact science, but I love how these two dishes cook up together nicely. The soup is based on one we had at our CSA’s farm visit day, and the salad is a variation of one I saw in Everyday Food magazine. What I love best is how you [...]

by gidget family

We’ll be heading out for cinnamon rolls today (daddy’s choice), but if the dad in your family likes pancakes, these are sure to bless him. We make a lot of pancakes around here and these are probably our current fave. I’m so thankful for an amazing father and a husband who is an awesome daddy [...]

Gettin’ a Little Homemade

by gidget food

What’s going on in the Gidget household, you ask? Both kids are quiet for one thing (have I mentioned what a lifesaver LeapPad is?) after a not-so-pleasant grocery run. We did have a lovely morning at our new favorite place, though, the San Diego Botanical Garden. Oh, and the photo above is from our blueberry [...]

A Sunday Treat

by gidget food

When my family planned a birthday get-together for my brother last weekend, I just couldn’t decide which dessert to make. So I made three of them. We had a little Strawberry Buttermilk Ice Cream again for one. Yum. My first attempts at a non-pumpkin pie (and a homemade crust), started out as a big ol’ [...]

food-related lovin’

by gidget food

My daughter has become quite the storyteller. Today we sat together over yogurt and “chatted”- mostly she just told me some nonsensical story full of very grown-up {and improperly used} phrases. It’s very cute. Speaking of yogurt, our new favorite snack is a little plain greek yogurt whipped up with a little all-fruit jam and/or [...]

Avogolemeno Soup

by gidget family

This soup was by request by my dad. His mom, my Yaya, used to make it. I had a couple of requests for the recipe when I mentioned making it on facebook a few weeks ago, so here it is… “Yaya” is Greek for grandmother (although I think it is actually spelled differently, this is [...]

Mother’s Day was extra special for me this year! I had my Mum visiting from Australia, so to celebrate we hosted a Mother’s Day breakfast. One of the yummiest items on the menu was the Buttermilk Cheddar Biscuits from Barefoot Contessa: Back to Basics. We had a couple left over so I sliced one in [...]

A hint of summer – Lemon Sorbet

by Emma food

I love hot weather, and was thrilled when the temperature got up in to the 100′s last week!  It meant I had to try out my new toy.  An ice cream maker, generously donated by Deni, for me to review.  More ice cream recipes and a full review will be coming when the weather heats [...]

Cookbooks!

by Emma food

Pictured below are a few of my favorite cookbooks. I don’t think I am alone when I say I love to ‘read’ and collect cookbooks. I have dozens of them. Varying from thrift store finds (some classics there), to out of print books I have searched for on ebay, to those I picked up at [...]
