Tj's Maui Wowie Tuna Burgers

Posted by Melissa and Her Pants  

I got this recipe during a shopping trip at Trader Joe's. They are REALLY good. You can find the teriyaki in other stores, and I think it's important to use this brand. We double the recipe and use three eggs, as that seems to hold things... MORE»

This dish, created by a dietician and a mom, is an ideal alternative to purchased baby food and the same old toddler-friendly snacks. From mothering.com. I am guessing at the servings because that information was not given on the original... MORE»

Too Much Chocolate Cake

(2 reviews) Posted by Melissa and Her Pants  

I am posting this for safekeeping as it is our family's favorite cake recipe. It is very similar to a few others here on Zaar but IMO it's the best! The mini chips don't sink to the bottom, but regular chips will do just as well. I prefer to... MORE»

Bison Marinade

Posted by Melissa and Her Pants  

I'm guessing I got this from Emeril, as it mentions "essence" in the recommended cooking preparation. All I remember is that it is REALLY GOOD. I don't have a size of cut for you but I seem to remember that we used a flat-cut roast. MORE»

(2 reviews) Posted by Melissa and Her Pants
