Beanchilada Dip
ENTRY #11 1107.09 Every once in a while, a recipe comes to me, and I have absolutely no idea what thought processes led to its creation. This is one of those recipes. I love using refried beans as a dip, and I usually have a couple of cans in my kitchen in case I get …
Why Engineers Don’t Write Recipe Books
ENTRY #10 1106.30 Not too long ago, I stumbled across an email that I had printed several years ago. It was something that was posted to an email list to which I belong. As for why I made a hardcopy of this particular email, well, I think that will become quite clear by the time …
Chocolate Oatmeal
ENTRY #9 1105.22 While I don’t have any one particular favorite breakfast, I do enjoy a nice hot bowl of oatmeal. When I was younger, one way I liked to eat my oatmeal was to take a handful of chocolate chips and stir them into the oatmeal. The heat from the oatmeal melted the chocolate …
Buffalo Chicken Dip: My Own Take
ENTRY #8 1104.30 When my entry on my Spicy Quesofrijole Dip recipe was featured on the main page of IreallyLikeFood not too long ago, one of the commenters was Ali Conklin. She asked if I had seen the entry she posted with a recipe for Buffalo Chicken Dip, and very thoughtfully left a link to …
Rolled Oat Pancakes
ENTRY #7 1104.23 A few entries back, I mentioned stumbling across a binder containing some recipes that I had typed up. I was particularly glad to see this recipe, because I thought it had been lost for good. First, though, I need to give you a little background information. When I was in seventh grade, …
I Have PART Of A Recipe . . .
ENTRY #6 1104.21 I hope that by now there are at least a few people reading this, because I could use just a little bit of inspiration here. I’m not completely certain how this started, although I have a feeling that reading something here on IReallyLikeFood was the cause. Whatever the cause, an idea popped …
Garlic Butter
ENTRY #5 1104.11 I recently read an entry here on IReallyLikeFood that mentioned that April is National Garlic Month. Naturally, I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to share my recipe for garlic butter. This recipe came to me by way of one of Justin Wilson’s cooking shows from many, many years ago. I …
Ice, Frost, And Glaze
ENTRY #4 1104.07 I have a question this time. It’s a very simple, very easy question. For some reason, though, I have never been able to get an answer that makes any sense, and I am really hoping that someone reading this will either have an answer, or can pass the question on to someone …
Milky Way Sauce
ENTRY #3 1104.06 Not too long ago, I pulled a binder from one of my (many) bookshelves, trying to remember what was inside. When I opened it, I found a number of recipes that I had typed up years ago. I vaguely remember having the idea of using the binder as a way of creating …
Spicy Quesofrijole Dip
ENTRY #2 1104.03 For my first recipe, I thought I would go with something relatively easy. I think I can usually make it in about 20 minutes or so, plus chilling time. As I at least hinted in my previous entry, I love using my kitchen as a mad scientist’s laboratory. I enjoy getting the …
