Fresh Asparagus Soup

Posted by Ali
This is a good one, ladies.  Mark it.
I found it online when looking for asparagus recipes on allrecipes.com.  You can check out the reviews here.
I didn’t have soy milk, but I did have some 2% left from when mom and dad came up, so I used that.   I used organic, plain, lowfat yogurt. [...]

Tortellini (garlic + spinach + prosciutto = YUM)

Posted by Ali
This recipe is from Cooking Light Magazine, October 2008.  I LOVE this recipe.  I made it for the first time in Kentucky for Stoney, me, and two other couples.  The recipe definitely doubles well and makes a great leftover meal for the following day.  I prefer the whole wheat cheese tortellini; it’s better for [...]

Ali’s …and she can cook! Apron

Ali modeling her lovely apron from the collection her mama made for us all.  (And Happy Birthday!  Ali and Barbara celebrated their birthdays on the 3rd of July).

Chili By Ali

I got this recipe off of one of my favorite food blogs: janetishungry.blogspot.com.  It’s a really good one…not quite as good as “And she can cook.”  ;)

This chili is not the kind of “chili” I grew up with in Texas; however, it is SO good.  It makes a ton, so it’s very good for a Christmas party, [...]

Ali’s Oatmeal, Chocolate Chip, and Pecan Cookies

Posted by Ali (picture by Ali too)
I always try to find healthy recipes, and I think this is about as good as it gets for cookies.  They’ve got lots of oats, pecans, and really healthy chocolate chips!  When you are mixing it, you might think you’ve forgotten a wet ingredient…but you haven’t, it’s just a [...]

I Made Beer Bread!

Posted By Amy
Per Ali’s instructions, I made Beer Bread yesterday.  I am happy to report that it was delicious, and indeed, perhaps even at its personal best when toasted with a bit of butter.  I used Blue Moon’s Harvest Moon Pumpkin Ale, and I liked how it turned out.  I wonder how changing the beer affects [...]
