Spinach Salad with Teriyaki Bowties

Spinach Salad with Teriyaki Bowties

I recently saw this Spinach Salad with Teriyaki Bowties recipe on Marta Writes blog and it reminded me of a recipe I used to make but somehow lost the recipe. I had cut it out of the newspaper and the clipping ended up lost before I had a chance to type it up. I was happy to find it again and made it for dinner that night. My husband loves anything with teriyaki and I remembered that he had loved

Carmelitos

March 8, 2010 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + 51 Comments

Oh my...these carmelitos are quite possibly my favorite bar cookie EVER! Honestly I try not to make these cookies too often because I always eat too many! It is one of those treats that I can't stay away from. I just take a smidgen here and cut off a tiny slice there and pretty soon half the pan is gone! With that in mind, you may want to make this when you have people around to share it with!

Applebee's Blondies with Maple Butter Sauce

I discovered the lusciousness of Applebee's Blondies with Maple Butter Sauce when I was in college. It's like a little piece of heaven. So rich and smooth.... mmm! When I came across this copycat recipe, I couldn't wait to try it out. And guess what! It's wonderful! My husband (who is also a big fan of this dessert at Applebee's) absolutely raved about this version I made at home. Success! :) Try

Wonderful Mashed Potatoes

March 4, 2010 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + 10 Comments

I really do use website as my cookbook these days. So when I was making dinner the other night, I jumped on to look up the recipe for my favorite wonderful mashed potatoes. I was in shock that it wasn't on here! I guess some of the basic, every day recipes don't always make it on because they just aren't glamorous enough. :) I had to get down my trusty homemade cookbook Melanie made me when I got

Rhodes Buttery Breadsticks

March 2, 2010 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + 22 Comments

I gotta say, I am loving this recipe lately! I feel a little silly posting a recipe using pre-made dough on our cooking blog but these breadsticks definitely have their place and time. Have you ever made a yummy dinner for someone and put all your energy into the main dish and had nothing to go with? Or who out there happens to have some rhodes rolls in their freezer right now? I do have to say

Dad’s Fabulous Baked Beans

February 25, 2010 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + 26 Comments

My dad, Johnn Sterzer does not possess a large repertoire of cooking skills, but there were a few things that he has mastered... and one of these is baked beans!  My dad used to make these for camp outs, barbecues, picnics, and occasionally just because.  And every time he did?  No leftovers.  He made them for us a few weeks ago when we came over to watch a BYU basketball game with him.  He hadn't

Homemade Oreos

February 1, 2010 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + 28 Comments

Can you tell that I am getting excited about Valentines Day? I love this holiday. On Friday schools in Chattanooga Tennessee sent the children home at 11am because there was a threat of snow! People take even a little snow as seriously dangerous around here. (I do realize that it is because snow is so unusual that the city does not have snow removal equipment.) Coming from Utah where blizzards

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
