Sourdough Waffles

January 25, 2023 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + Leave a Comment

Sourdough Waffles Two Ways I LOVE sourdough waffles and so does my family. And, in case you are wondering if they taste sour, they do not. My boys were initially worried about that when I first started making them. They are PERFECTION--wonderfully golden and crispy on the outside but tender and moist on the inside. We crave them, especially on Sundays. These waffles have become a family

Fun and Super Easy Halloween Treat I was introduced to White Chocolate Halloween Popcorn by one of my neighbors years ago when I lived in American Fork Utah. I LOVED it so much and now it is one of my 'go to' favorite treats to make this time of year. Everyone LOVES it and it comes together super fast. Not only is it so easy to make but it also tastes amazing and looks so cute packaged.

Homemade Naan

September 7, 2022 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + 1 Comment

I will never forget the first time I remember eating Naan. We were at a little Indian restaurant called 'Taste of Punjab' and the Naan was delivered to our table, hot and dripping with butter and garlic. It was heavenly and the perfect thing to sop up the Butter Chicken. I was hooked and could not wait to try and make it at home. In my house, bread is a MUST and this soft, chewy homemade naan is

Back to School Dinner Ideas & Menu

September 5, 2022 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + 3 Comments

Family Tradition A special 'Back to School Dinner' is a tradition for our family. We always have one, but it is usually after the school year has started. It seems like we are too busy enjoying our summer to think about school yet. We have to soak up every last night of summer break before our early morning alarm clocks start going off and homework sets in. I am telling you this because, I

Blueberry Lemon Chia Seed Pudding

August 26, 2022 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + Leave a Comment

This Blueberry and Lemon Chia Seed Pudding is the perfect healthy and quick summertime breakfast or snack. You can easily make this the night before and it will be ready to go in the morning. I like to add some protein powder, which is not necessary but helps if you are trying to increase your protein. I have recently started weight training and so I am a little more cognizant of protein in my

Tribute to my sweet Mom

I developed my love of cooking at an early age “helping” my Mom bake cookies, make dinner, and knead bread. She had quite the well of patience! She is the one that taught me about measurements, leavening agents, egg-washes, the basic white sauce, and numerous other mysteries of the kitchen!  I cherish the memories I have of learning to cook at her side. Thank you Mom! You instilled in me a respect for work as well as a joy in creating delicious things. I love you! xoxo
