Classic Pot Roast

A dinner of tender classic pot roast with mashed potatoes and gravy is the epitome of comfort food for me.  Even though I am normally not a huge fan of red meat, sometimes I crave a well cooked pot roast!  I make this recipe every other month or so, usually on a Sunday and my boys all LOVE it.  This is the recipe and method that I have found creates the most tender and flavorful pot roast.  It

Glazed Coconut Bread

Happy New Year friends!  Do you find yourself baking more when the weather is cold?  I do!  Last week I discovered a bag of coconut in my freezer and remembered this wonderful coconut bread recipe that I had not made in a long time.  I decided to whip up a batch and make mini loaves to share with a few neighbors and my visiting teachers.  This glazed coconut bread is really more of a cake with the

This White Chicken Chili in the Crockpot was soo good that

My Favorite Gingersnaps

December 16, 2014 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + 2 Comments

I have to admit that I have already made 3 batches of my favorite gingersnaps recipe this month!  Every time we have needed a treat to bring somewhere I have opted for these gingersnaps and they are always a big hit!  This is the BEST recipe in my opinion!  Gingersnaps remind me of my Grandma who I love and they are also my husband's favorite cookie--so I guess that explains their

Happy December everyone! I texted the above picture of this Nordstrom's Famous Tomato Basil Soup to my husband one day to motivate him to hurry home from work for a nice warm dinner.  It worked!!   He was home in no time! Did you have a nice Thanksgiving?  Mine was a bit stressful, as my oldest landed himself in the hospital for a couple of days! More on that here.  Scary--but he is fine

Happy Monday!  Hope you are all staying warm!!  It seems like Winter hit early this year in lots of places.  I keep seeing snow in my Instagram feed:)  While we don't have any of the white stuff here in Chattanooga, we do have some seriously chilly weather.  Brr!   One good thing about this cold weather is that it has put me in the mood to bake!  I was looking through my shelves of cookbooks last

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
