It was a snow day here in Amarillo yesterday. Ben went to work at 6:30 am only to be called by one of the partners at 6:50 am to let him know that the office would not be open. It snowed almost all day and was pretty windy, so the snow on the ground was [...]
Biscotti!! Finally! It’s about time I posted a biscotti recipe. I figured it wasn’t quite right to have a blog called “Hottie Biscotti” without at least one biscotti recipe. Last week, I found myself rummaging in my pantry and cabinets for something to bake. I found some cranberries and a bag of pecans. So, [...]
My nephew turns ONE YEAR OLD today! Happy Birthday! My sister had his birthday party this past weekend, and I was lucky enough to fly down for the big event. It was nice to see so much of my family that I hadn’t seen in a while. My nephew is too adorable for words. [...]
This is a quick, easy and yummy meal with ingredients you probably have on hand. I originally found this recipe in an issue of Everyday Food. I’ve made this in a lot of different ways and there are a few variations on the Martha Stewart website. There is a version with ground beef, for which [...]
Most people get a birthday cake, but my Dad and my Grandpa Marvin would rather have birthday pie. My dad is a lemon meringue pie fan, and my grandpa loves coconut cream. Grandpa Marvin turned 89 on March 7th, so I made him a birthday pie! This pie is a bit laborious, but [...]
Sometimes cereal for breakfast gets old…in my opinion anyway. My husband eats cereal every morning without fail and without complaints of boredom. However, when bananas gets all black and mushy, the only option you have is to bake with them. I have a tried and true recipe for banana bread with pecans and coconut that [...]
I hadn’t made an out of the ordinary dinner in a while, so I began my search for something special on Wednesday morning for a special Friday night dinner. I really enjoy Smitten Kitchen, and that is where I found this recipe. She calls them Devil’s Chicken Thighs, and they looked so incredibly wonderful on [...]
Cupcakes are still “in” and trendy I suppose, but I haven’t really gotten in to them. I’ve made cupcakes more than a few times, but I would prefer to bake a cake or cookies. And I would rather eat a cookie or brownie than a cupcake. Call me crazy! However, when I found this recipe [...]
I found this yummy recipe on one of my new favorite blogs…Bakers Banter. The King Arthur flour test kitchen shares recipes, techniques and tips. Most of the posts also feature step by step picture instructions. A look at the ingredient list might make you say, “Those sound allright…but a little typical, nothing special”. That is [...]
Ben’s parents came to visit us in Amarillo last weekend. I wanted to make something for breakfast Saturday morning, but not something sweet like muffins, but not a casserole either. The solution? A savory scone. This recipe is from Rebecca Rather’s Pastry Queen cookbook. I have tried a lot of recipes from this cookbook with [...]
