Apple Cream Cheese Bundt Cake

Happy Friday!  Do you have your Thanksgiving menu on the mind, like me?  I have tried several new recipes this year and I having a hard time figuring out what I want to make!  It is a good problem to have!  A couple of weeks ago I made this lovely Apple Cream Cheese Bundt Cake with Browned Butter Glaze and it was incredible!  Super moist and flavorful and I keep thinking

Hot Crab Dip

Well hello!  Is your week flying by like mine is?  I can't believe it is already Wednesday and everyday I run out of time to get everything done that I want to.  On Sunday evening, I convinced my sweet husband to get out our Christmas tree!  I know, it is super early, I think it is a record for us!  We usually don't get our tree up until the day after Thanksgiving, but this year I couldn't

Thai Curry Butternut Soup

November 10, 2016 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + 4 Comments

I am running a bit late this week with my posts, but for good reason.  I have had a dear friend visiting from Utah and I made us this Thai Curry Butternut Soup.  We both loved it! What a great week we have had--eating fabulous food at home and at fun little bistros, sightseeing and talking until late at night!  She brought BYU notebooks, pencils and bags and a little arsenal of essential oils to

Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins

Hello sweet friends!  Are you enjoying your Fall so far?  On my last post I mentioned that it was finally getting chilly here in the South, well that is no longer the case!  I think Mother Nature is being very tricky this year!  We have actually been breaking records here in Chattanooga this last week.  It was 85 yesterday, a new hottest November day on record for us!  I  have to admit that I find

Cauliflower Cheese Soup

October 27, 2016 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + 18 Comments

It is finally starting to get a little chilly here in the South and I couldn't be happier about it!  The second it begins to cool off, I start craving soup!  I guess I am not the only one, because I was invited to a little 'Recipe Night' gathering last week where the theme was soups!  All of the soups were wonderful, but I think my favorite was a cauliflower cheese soup.  I couldn't wait to make

Massaged Kale Salad

October 21, 2016 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + 7 Comments

My dear friend Celeste took me to lunch for my birthday to this little place in downtown Chattanooga because she really wanted me to try their Massaged Kale Salad that she loved.  I have to admit, that although Kale is a super food and I want to like it, I am not a huge fan, and the thought of a massaged salad sounded strange.  Little did I know what a HUGE treat I was in for!  Since that day last

Applesauce Snickerdoodle Muffins

Well hello!  How is your week going so far?  Last week was fall break for us and we were on vacation in Florida.  It was wonderful and we are all dragging our feet just a little, to get back into the swing of things again at home.  And this week could not be busier with the start of my younger boys football playoffs and the start of the school soccer team's season for my older son!  I can already

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

How is your Fall season so far?  Do you have a little bucket list for this time of year?  I do---at least in my head and I am checking things off like: visit an Apple Orchard to pick up some fresh apples and cider, find the perfect pumpkins for my front porch, start making soups for dinner, go for a drive to enjoy the beautiful leaves and of course at the top of my list is lots and lots of baking

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
