One of my favorite colors is green. Just looking at these collards makes me feel so healthy. I often have vegetables lurking about in the refrigerator, next to the butter, eggs, and cream (heh, heh), that need to get used up. Traditional Southern-style collards are cooked a long time, with a ham hock and some […]

You Want Pie with That? Family Favorite Blueberry Pie
Posted by Madam Chow Published in blueberry, You Want Pies With That?This month, “You Want Pies with That?” bakers were asked by Natalie of Oven Love to create a pie based on a “Family Favorite” dessert. Oh, dear. This was tough. Why? Because my mom rarely made the same dessert twice. I was the primary cookie baker, and I went through a phase where I made […]

TWD – Tiramisu Cake When You’re Feeling Fat
Posted by Madam Chow Published in bread, cheese, Gus, Ina Garten, Tuesdays with DorieHow do you participate in Tuesdays with Dorie when: (1) you’ve been gone for almost two weeks, (2) you feel like a giant ball of fat because you’ve been eating hotel food during that time, and (3) you don’t have much time to bake because your family is out of clean underwear? You improvise. Yes, […]

Please, do not be deterred by the alarming color. This food is safe for human consumption, and delicious! I’m getting this up a bit late – just got back from a two week long, out-of-town trip. Thanks for your patience with me these past few months, folks. I was hoping it would turn out to […]

So, what do you do when you just got off the red-eye, you’ve been gone for almost two weeks, and you’re jet-lagged, with a husband to feed?

The Daring Bakers, and an Awesome Creamsicle Cheesecake
Posted by Madam Chow Published in cheesecake, Daring Bakers, orangesAwesome, if I do say so myself. I have to start giving myself a bit more credit for creativity. Not decorating, mind you, but for making recipes my own. Pay no heed to the lousy picture – I am out of town at the moment, and I made this and froze it before I left. […]

Frugal Fridays #2 – Vegetarian Courtship Casserole
Posted by Madam Chow Published in casserole, Frugal Fridays, grainsWhen my husband, the Honorable Master Chow, started going out with me, I was a vegetarian. I would eat eggs and some other dairy, but that was where I drew the line into the realm of animal products. One of the things that he did early in our relationship was to search for vegetarian recipes […]

Key Lime Cheesecake Bars, but no TWD – I’m Out of Town. Again!
Posted by Madam Chow Published in cheesecake, limeI saw the folks on America’s Test Kitchen make these, and what intrigued me was the graham cracker-less crust. This recipe uses animal crackers! I love graham cracker crusts, but I think that the spice often clashes with the filling, and Master Chow really dislikes that they get soggy. I also had a bunch of […]

One of my little Cavaliers. Just 12.5 pounds of sweet lovin’! I rarely get political on this blog, and when I do it’s about animals or food. My vet and I were discussing the huge problem of people abandoning their pets and skipping town, leaving the creatures who are completely dependent on their humans chained, […]

Introducing Frugal Fridays – Making Do with What You Have
Posted by Madam Chow Published in vegetableStarting today, I’m going to be posting most Fridays (life happens, so there may be a Friday that I miss) on a dish that I made with what I had on hand in my pantry, refrigerator, and freezer. No running to the store for a last minute item, just doing what I can with what […]
