Homemade Applesauce
I love apples! It is one of my favorite things about Fall. I like apple in pretty much any form but apple cider and applesauce are my two favorites. Josh and I had a favorite apple orchard in Pennsylvania that … Continue reading
Avgolemono Soup
Or Lemon Chicken Soup with Rice. (So nice!) Avgolemono is a Mediterranean broth that is made with eggs and lemon. This is one of My Mom’s favorite soups and several years ago we looked up recipes to make it. We … Continue reading
PB and H
So, there hasn’t been much food on No Meat No Meal lately. Some of you might be wondering what is up? Well the truth is that I made a couple of meals that were already featured on the blog. (Also, I ate out a lot this month…) And while I did do some candy making, I am planning on doing a Christmas Cookie Countdown later this fall so I want to save those recipes for later. Don’t worry, some new recipes are coming up soon including Avgolemono soup (Greek lemon chicken soup with rice.)
One thing I have been making lately are Peanut Butter and Honey sandwiches. Peanut butter and honey sandwiches are pretty much the only kind of peanut butter sandwich I eat. Well, except for peanut butter and raspberry preserve open-faced sandwiches on toast. Honey doesn’t work well on an open-faced sandwich because it starts dripping everywhere.
More on Macarons
Here are some pictures to illustrate the macaron making process. I took these pictures last week when I made Snickers Macarons.

Snickers Macarons
Over the last few years French Macarons have become a big thing in the pastry world. In some places they have been called the new cupcake. My interest was piqued from watching Top Chef Just Desserts where I think there was a rules requirement that someone must make macarons in every episode. To make matters worse, macarons aren’t as simple as a cupcake. I mean, I can definitely make a cupcake. But macarons are fancy french delicacies that have all kinds of specific techniques and attributes.
Earl Grey with Orange Blossom Chocolate Ganache
Tortilla Soup
This recipe was inspired by a recipe my Mom and I saw on Great Day Houston as a creative way to use up leftover turkey after Thanksgiving. We must have looked up the recipe online but I don’t have an original copy and I can’t find the recipe online, so I don’t have a link to give you. I have changed the recipe to my taste and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
I don’t know how that pasta got in the picture…Photobombed!
Snickerdoodles
Hi all,
First of all, let me introduce myself as Mary’s little sister. I have been meaning to post some entries for awhile! Here it goes.
My boyfriend Greg told me he was craving snickerdoodles which are one of my favorite cookies to bake. I told him “no problem, I’ll make you a batch!” … Little did I know he said snickerdoodles but actually meant peanut butter cookies. When I brought the finished product over he asked how come they didn’t have lines in the top. Anyways, these cookies came out tasty and here is the recipe!
Toasting nuts
One of the most important aspects of making tasty candy is the nuts. They should be toasted before you add them to the candy. Toasting the nuts brings out the flavor of the nuts and keeps them crispy inside the candy.
My Favorite Fudge Recipe
One of the goals I have for this blog is to post a new recipe each week. The problem is that some weeks I do more cooking than others. I tend to cook two or three meals in the first two weeks of the month and eat leftovers for the rest of the month. Anyway, I have a bunch of pictures I took last year for this candy survey thing and I thought I would use them to post some of the recipes I made for Christmas last year.
