Cream Cheese Pie

January 30, 2012 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + 18 Comments

This cream cheese pie is fantastic and SUPER easy!  It makes the perfect dessert for your Sunday family dinner.  It comes together in minutes and can be made a day ahead. I usually make it on Saturday afternoon and let it chill in the fridge overnight.  It is fun to bring out such a pretty dessert, but not have to slave away all day creating it, you know?!  We all need a few recipes that taste

This may seem like an unusual gift for a May birthday, but I was thrilled.  Sheri knew me well--it was perfect for several reasons!  First of all, she knew how I treasure a great recipe, plus

Spiced Shortbread with Brown Butter Icing

November 22, 2011 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + 18 Comments

As the leaves begin to turn and a cozy breeze fills the air, there's nothing quite like the smell of a spiced treat baking in your oven. This fall I have wanted to make a spiced dough for cut out cookies and finally got around to trying it last week. It sounded so good in my head--and luckily  they really were! That is not always the case--sometimes the creations of

My brother in law TJ introduced me to this fabulous brined roast turkey recipe probably 8-9 years ago when we were in Arizona for Thanksgiving.  I had never had a brined roast turkey before and I could not believe the difference it made!  It was the most flavorful and moist turkey I had ever eaten!  As the holiday season approaches, it's time to start planning that unforgettable Thanksgiving

Hello my friends! Guess what?  I am blogging from beautiful Hawaii today!  The trip started out a little rough with delayed flights, luggage that did not make it and a lost wallet, but things are looking up now and I am just so happy to be here!   Although it is sunny and warm here, I know back home we are quickly entering into soup weather, which I LOVE!  I made this rustic cabbage soup on a cold

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
