Nutella Banana “Ice Cream”

April 24, 2013 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + 29 Comments

So I've been seeing these Nutella Banana "Ice Cream" recipes from time to time on pinterest and floating around on the internet.  I tried a version last year, and it was pretty darn good.  I got glowing reviews from the kiddos, and the adults who tried it liked it too.  So I tried it again last week with half the Nutella, and the popsicles I made were still absolutely yummy and had a strong

Fudgy Gluten Free Brownies (with chickpeas)

April 23, 2013 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + 2 Comments

  Well, it is good to be back!   We have just returned from a work trip to Punta Cana Dominican Republic.    Have you ever been there?  It was beautiful, especially the beaches! It was a treat to get away but it is nice to be home again with everyone healthy at my house (hurrah)!  After the last few months of sickness and poor health in our family, this really is a reason to cheer!    As you

Chocolate Chip Lava Cookie

April 17, 2013 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + 13 Comments

This Chocolate Chip Lava Cookie recipe comes from my little sister Monday and they are to die for!  Talk about taking cookies to the next level.  What is not to love about a warm chocolate chip cookie with a gooey chocolatey center topped with vanilla ice cream and hot fudge!  Heaven,  I tell you.  They were absolutely perfect 5 minutes out of the oven.  I used a DeMarle muffin pan, which was

Peanut Butter Cup Cookies

April 10, 2013 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + 22 Comments

These Peanut Butter Cup cookies are some of my favorite cookies.  Full of peanut-buttery goodness.  Easy to make. A crowd pleaser.  If I take them somewhere, I will never bring any of home.  I get blessed and cursed in turn for making them.  Blessed because they are amazing.  Cursed because no one can eat just one... or two... or three. These irresistible cookies are baked to perfection in a

Greek Quinoa with Avocados

March 14, 2013 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + 5 Comments

This Greek Quinoa with Avocados is such a great salad.  It is packed with nutrient rich ingredients and full of flavor.  Perfect for the sunny spring days we've been having this week!  Did you know that Quinoa is naturally high in protein?  It is a great as a vegetarian dish, but you could add some diced or shredded chicken to make a more hearty meal out of it.  This is the perfect side dish for

Thai Coconut Lime Soup

March 7, 2013 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + 45 Comments

This Thai Coconut Lime Soup is one of my new favorite soups.  It's so good!  I would say it is in my top five favorite soups ever.  My cousin's wife made it for a party several months ago, and it was love at first taste.  I can't stop making it now (nor do I want to stop).  There is some chopping involved -which is the bane of soups, but after the chopping is over, the soup comes together

Feta Dip

March 6, 2013 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + 18 Comments

I have a ridiculously easy and seriously delicious dip to share with you today.  I have made this dip several times now and it is always a big hit.  It comes together really fast with no cooking involved. Since the Feta cheese is the star here, make sure you get a good one.  I think the precrumbled kind can be dry.  I like the Presidents brand at Costco.  I buy it in bulk and cut it into squares

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
