Roasted Cinnamon Almonds

I am looking forward to this weekend. It is General Conference for our church--The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and a great excuse to make lots of yummy food for my family! There are two sessions aired on Saturday and two sessions on Sunday where we get to hear from each of the Twelve Apostles, our Prophet, Thomas S. Monson and other church leaders. It is always a wonderful weekend

30 Minute Dinner Rolls

September 7, 2009 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + 18 Comments

Is it possible to have homemade rolls on the table in 30 minutes start to finish? I read about this recipe on Real Mom Kitchen blog and just had to give it a try! We had them for sunday dinner yesterday and true to their name they were on the table in 30 minutes. OK, actually they took a little more than 30 minutes for me--more like 45 minutes total---but still pretty fast!! My boys LOVED them.

Aunt Alice’s Peach Pie (& Moving)

August 3, 2009 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + 26 Comments

 Aunt Alice's Peach Pie is the BEST peach pie I have ever had. My husbands Aunt Alice made it for us a few years ago and after the first bite, I was SMITTEN. Maybe it is the almond flavoring and the butter that sets this pie apart. Mmmmm I don't know what it is that makes it so mouthwatering delicious....but I look forward to peach season all year just for this sweet pie! I thought sharing

Grandma’s Rolls

July 20, 2009 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + 20 Comments

These rolls are from my maternal grandmother, Ruth Rice, who happens to be a fantastic cook! Grandma has always baked her own breads, canned and bottled her own fruits, veggies, jams, pickles, etc (grown in her enormous garden), made all kinds of wondrous candy and even raised her own chickens! She takes the concept of work ethic to a whole new level - and I have only touched on her food related

Snickerdoodle Muffins

July 6, 2009 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + 25 Comments

Last week my little boys and I were in the mood for muffins and so I came up with these little Snickerdoodle Muffins --a fun twist on some of our favorite cookies. My little sweeties loved them. They really hit the spot.  My boys especially loved the butter dipped cinnamon sugar tops. I made them into mini muffins and we snacked on them all day. You could of course make them in to regular sized

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
