So, you know how I made those Strawberry-White Chocolate Blondies a few weeks ago. Since then I’ve barely missed a day of baking up a new blondie concoction. So what the heck. Let’s just call it Blondie Week on made by mike. There are worse ways to celebrate a rainy spring week. Am I right?…

strawberry white chocolate blondies
Make these. Really, you must make these Strawberry White Chocolate Blondies. For one, it only takes about 10 minutes to put everything together before you send them off to the oven to bake to their golden deliciousness. And secondly, as far as I’m concerned, there’s no better baked treat than a moist and chewy blondie….
ultimate chicken salad
Chicken salad, it’s one of my favorite things to enjoy for a quick-lunch or to entertain a group with. There are many great versions of this classic. I think that I’ve created a pretty amazing recipe. The sweet burst of the grapes, the tang of the cider vinegar and the bite of the shallot add…
coffee, hazelnut and banana granola – everyday food challenge
And now, the final entry in Granola Week, Coffee, Hazelnut and Banana Granola. I know what you’re thinking. Coffee flavored granola? Don’t worry, there are just four teaspoons of instant espresso in the recipe. It’s very subtle and adds just a little bit of additional flavor to the granola. Give it a try, I think…
cherry-almond vegan granola
I’m about the farthest you can get from vegan. My love and adoration for bacon will never allow me to make this leap. But you know what? This Cherry-Almond Vegan Granola is incredibly edible. It’s a great snack to have on hand, and you don’t have to feel too guilty about enjoying a handful now…

So after I finished making and baking four batches of granola on Sunday, I had a revelation. I told Greg that I was pretty sure that I could be very happy quitting my job to make granola full-time. Wishful thinking, I just don’t think that there’s gold in them there jars. However, the small chunks…

linguine with asparagus and egg – everyday food challenge
Once again, it’s confession time at made by mike. I love a runny egg yolk. At breakfast I like to dip my toast into the yolk of an over-easy fried egg. I enjoy a piping hot bowl of pasta Carbonaro with its yolky sauce. I was very happy when I came across the recipe for…
honey punch
It’s St. Patrick’s Day, and while many of you will be enjoying a green beer, I thought I’d feature a little pot of gold. Golden Honey Punch, that is. As I wrote last week, I’m working my through two delightful jars of Kilker North honey. This punch recipe from Food Network magazine is pretty great….
frozen honey cream – everyday food challenge
My delightful friend Jennie and her husband Aidan tend to a bee hive which produces the most wonderful wildflower honey. Recently, Jennie gave me a couple of jars of their harvested liquid gold. I was going to use the honey for a week’s worth of posts that highlighted the honey as a main ingredient. Unfortunately,…
