Today I’m beginning a seven-day food blogathon at Kitchen Southern Hospitality with my list of top ten pantry food bloggers. I chose these particular food blogs because the food blogger: cooks from her pantry, includes recipes from what’s on hand, offers a printable pantry ingredient list, sells cookbooks with recipes from pantry staples, shares recipes that anyone can make from simple pantry ingredients, publishes kitchen pantry articles, or blogs about pantry-friendly recipes.

Comfort in the Kitchen with Aprons Today is a special day, not because of Cinco de Mayo, but because it is the day my mother was born – May 5. I was inspired to begin the Kitchen Hospitality blog because of her. She was an exceptional lady, and I loved her cooking. She cooked for her family as one of ten children. She and her older sister were given household chores to do, and hers was to prepare the meals. I couldn’t let May 5 go by without honoring her memory on kitchenhospitality.com.

This week I’ve taken on the challenge of cooking a daily meal by using either my crockpot, griddle, microwave, or pop-up toaster – absolutely no stove or oven cooking. The first three seem easy to do, but that last one requires diligent creativity. The fourth kitchen appliance of my meal quest resulted in the perfect answer – French Toast Sticks. Great idea! It’s a prepare-ahead recipe, and you freeze them and pop them into the toaster whenever you want a quick breakfast. I found the idea at happyhealthymama.com, a blog with wholesome recipes and healthy living. Next on my toaster breakfast plan was to tryRead More →
