Chex Scotcheroos (Gluten Free)

July 7, 2020 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + 1 Comment

Chex Scotcheroos

Have you ever had Chex Scotcheroos?  My cute daughter-in-law, Makinlee introduced us to this recipe and we all love it!  This is basically the same recipe as the original scotcheroos, except instead of stirring in Rice Krispies, you use Chex cereal (rice or corn).  You don't have to make them individual size, you can still press them into a pan if you would rather. We love the

Homemade Macaroni and Cheese

June 30, 2020 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + Leave a Comment

Creamy Homemade Macaroni and Cheese is pretty much a staple here in the South. I did not grow up here and honestly don't remember eating it much at all, until I moved Chattanooga.  I thought I didn't like it, but boy was I wrong!  Macaroni and Cheese is on the menu at every good Southern restaurant and is offered at any gathering (including Thanksgiving!).  Let me tell you, I have tried some

Sourdough Banana Bread

sourdough banana bread

Have you ever heard of Sourdough Banana Bread? I had not, but let me tell you, Sourdough Banana Bread is fantastic! Since I have happily hopped on the 'sourdough train', I am always looking for new things to bake and this recipe is my newest favorite.  One result of this pandemic and all the quarantine time at home is a renewed interest in sourdough baking for me. Have you joined in the

Simple Cinnamon Granola

June 19, 2020 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + 2 Comments

This simple cinnamon granola is a staple at my house.  We love it on yogurt, ice cream, in a cereal bowl with milk and by the handful as a snack. This summer we are on a granola kick and my boys can not go a day without it!  I don't mind since it is so easy to make with no chopping or unusual ingredients and stores well.   This simple recipe full of wholesome oats, cinnamon, maple syrup and sweet

Pizza Rolls

Pizza Rolls

Friday night is pizza night at our house and no matter what, my family expects pizza for dinner. Sometimes we order from our favorite local pizza place (Lupis, Rossellis or even a hot and ready Little Caesars) but recently with the pandemic and stay at home orders, I have been making pizza every Friday!  And I do not always make traditional pies.  I like to change things up with recipes like these

No Bake Energy Balls

May 27, 2020 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + Leave a Comment

These No Bake Energy Balls have been our favorite snack the last few months.  My boys LOVE them and I love that they are full of healthy clean ingredients (mostly--you could add dark chocolate chips instead of the mini M&Ms but they wouldn't be as colorful or fun!).  I have made protein poppers before and these are similar but do not have any added protein powder.   I have two

Whole Wheat Brown Sugar Muffins

May 10, 2020 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + Leave a Comment

These whole wheat brown muffins are an "oldie but a goodie" recipe that my sister Erin shared with me years ago. It was once on our blog but somehow got lost. A reader emailed me requesting it so I did a little digging and found it again for her! This is a sweet basic muffin that comes together quick and tastes great! I have a wheat grinder so I like to make them with freshly ground wheat

One Pot Creamy Garlic Pasta

Happy Wednesday everyone!  How is your week going?  We are plugging away (mostly at home) during this strange pandemic/quarantine time. I will say, family dinners are really nice right now. We are all home and can enjoy a relaxed meal together every night.  That is one thing I have really enjoyed during all this craziness.  One of our favorite meals lately has been this One Pot Creamy Garlic

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
