ROSEMARY WALNUT BATTER BREAD

When I saw the bread from Passtime Cook on Instagram I knew I had to make it. Since she mentioned she didn’t love the herbs and walnut combination in the original recipe. So I decided to use my favorite herb, Rosemary! It is a simple and delicious recipe! ROSEMARY WALNUT BATTER BREAD Adapted from Pasttime…

National Ice Cream Day

So in honor of National Ice Cream Day I’m sharing our current favorite ice cream recipe. You need 1 1/2 quarts of a combination of cream/half & half/ whole milk. With more milk than cream the ice cream freeze harder. With more cream the softer the ice cream will be. I typically use a combination…

Travel Tuesday!

Did you know that Tuesday is the best travel day? Airfare is typically less and the airport/ flights are less busy. Traveling can be fun and exiting. The downside to traveling is that you are often out of sink with your normal routine. For many years I self- sabotaged with the mindset that I can…

July 1st 2024

July 1st is a great day to start something new or in my case restart something. Speakeshonestly is my blog. I originally started it eight years ago to share recipes I made for Shelton and those with food allergies. It grew to more than just allergies but then life got busy and I stopped blogging…

One Skillet Curry Chicken

I wasn’t a fan of curry growing up. Now I can eat it with a spoon! Tonight, I was craving curry and pulled this off only using what I had on hand. A win-win! It’s also a one skillet easy quick meal. I used bone- in chicken thighs though boneless skinless would have been easier…

First Sunday of 2021 -Healthy Dips

I’m not great a food prepping but I am trying to eat a bit lighter than the heavy holiday foods I’ve been enjoying since Thanksgiving. This week’s lunches will be packed with fresh fruit, veggies, and healthy dips. Tonight we ate veggies & dips watching football and enjoying our last evening before back to school…

Homemade Granola

This summer we’ve spent a lot of time together exploring and baking. One of our favorite things to make is granola. Much of the store-bought allergy friendly versions have sugar as the first or second ingredient. I’ve been working on this recipe a while and now feel it is ready to share. I will say…

Vegetable Curry

The temperature is dropping and the wind picking up. Soup seemed perfect for this chilly January night. Using only what I had on hand I made it in under an hour. It was delicious. I served it with chickpea flatbread. Vegetable Curry 2 Tablespoons Olive oil 2 yellow onions, peeled, diced large 3 large zucchini,…

Hangry Girl Bisque

After school and swim I had a cold and cranky girl on my hands. She was beyond starving and not ready for homework. While she had a hot shower I made her favorite soup. Thick, warm, and yummy! It’s actually a super easy soup recipe I’ve previously posted. Today I revised Shelton’s favorite “pumpkin soup”…

Saturday Mornings

Saturday mornings when I was growing up we went shopping. We may have had a soccer game or basketball game but we always ended up shopping for groceries and clothes at Seessel’s, Easyway, Goldsmith’s and Dillard’s followed by a treat at La Baguette. I have fond memories of those days but choose a slower paced…

Sunday Night Soup

When the temperature dips thirty degrees I start thinking about soup. One of my favorite dishes is Seafood Curry at Disney’s Animal Kingdom restaurant Yak & Yeti. I thought I’d try a soup version using Salmon and ingredients I had on hand so I didn’t have to run to the store. This soup is so…
