Applesauce Pancakes with Cinnamon Syrup

August 4, 2010 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + 46 Comments

Occasionally on Sunday mornings or when my dad was in charge of the meal, he'd make these fabulous Applesauce Pancakes.  As we'd start in on our short stacks, my dad could be heard from the griddle saying, "I don't hear any Ooos and Ahhhs!"  And so we would immediately start "oooing" and "ahhhing" in our most dramatic voices.  But do you know what?  These really were worthy of our dramatic,

This is one of my favorite dinners because it is soo easy and really tasty! Perfect for a busy night or a day that you don't want to spend cooking in the kitchen. We love it in burritos, quesadillas, nachos and taco salad. I love that the recipe is so simple and uses ingredients that I always have on hand. Hope you enjoy!

Ultimate Cheese Fondue

July 9, 2010 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + 9 Comments

This  recipe comes from my sister Brittany--she says "This is a deliciously creamy, warm cheese fondue that honestly has the best taste - just a mellow hint of garlic and spice. It is truly wonderful! My in-laws have a tradition of fondue on New Year's Eve and this one is a favorite. Fondue parties are such a blast. If you haven't done one before, try it out and use this recipe for one of

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
