Gourmet S’more Cookies

July 23, 2022 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + Leave a Comment

These Gourmet S'more Cookies just scream summer to me! Who doesn't love an ooey gooey S'more this time of year?! Unfortunately, for us living in the South, the hot humid summers are not a good time to gather around a warm camp fire. We have to be creative and find other ways to enjoy the crisp graham crackers, gooey marshmallows and melty chocolate that make up the favorite summer campfire

Grilled Garlic Ranch Dressing Chicken

July 14, 2022 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + 2 Comments

This Grilled Garlic Ranch Dressing Chicken is a great addition to a fresh summer dinner. We love to eat a lot of fresh fruit and vegetables in the summer but my boys always want a meat too. I happened to have a big jug of ranch dressing left over from a church activity and stumbled upon this fabulous marinade to use with it. It was SUPER easy to make and everyone loved it. Not pictured is

One of my husband's favorite dishes at PF Changs is Mongolian Beef. I have actually never tried to make it until Fathers Day this year and it turned out FANTASTIC! I am excited to share with you this wonderful recipe. Everyone loved it and it was so quick and easy to make. What inspired me to make this recipe is the shaved beef that Trader Joes sells. Cutting flank steak thin enough was a

These healthy zucchini muffins with a lemon glaze are sooo good and taste like summer to me!

The BEST Coffee Cake

April 21, 2022 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + 2 Comments

This coffee cake is for special occasions at our house. It takes a little more time to make with several different bowls but my boys LOVE it! This is the breakfast requested on birthdays, and holidays. It makes a large coffee cake but we never mind having some leftovers! I like to freeze them in individual servings that my family can grab and heat up in the mornings before they run out the

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
