Cream Soda Apple Cobbler with Caramel Whiskey Sauce

March 6, 2015 by Ali

The first time I came to Texas, I flew away from a huge snowstorm in Chicago and into a mild (if cloudy and slightly rainy) climate. It was December, and I vividly remember our tour guide saying, “Ha! Heard it’s a-snowin’ up in Chicaaaaahgo. It doesn’t fix to snow here, ever!” LIES! I’ve lived in Texas for over six years, I have seen snow every year. Every. Single. Year. At first, it was fun and novel and we all joked […]

Chicken and Waffle Burgers with Kettle Corn on the Cob

September 29, 2014 by Ali

Y’all know that I am a contributor to the Fort Worth Moms Blog, right? Well, I am*. This post featuring my Chicken and Waffle Burgers… …along with Kettle Corn on the Cob… …and Watermelon Slushies ran today so canter over to my post and have a look. *Stop laughing, guys. I know what I said about not carrying Cheerios in my purse or watching Disney movies. I take it back. I never drove a mini-van, though, so I feel that […]

Beer and Bacon Mac and Cheese

June 1, 2014 by Ali

In a scene from one of my favorite movies, Say Anything, Lloyd Dobbler gets up the courage to call Diane Court and ask her for a date (or a scam or whatever) and when she resists, he asks her if she’s “monumentally busy”. Of course, this breaks her down and they get together and before you know it, he’s pointing out broken glass to her and they’re in love and on a plane to England while her father serves out […]

Peepcakes!

April 20, 2014 by Ali

Happy Easter from Kitchenpants! We are off to the ballpark to celebrate, but first I thought I would share what we ate for breakfast this morning: Behold the Peepcake! These are too easy to make and I bet I don’t even have to tell you how, but I will: make pancake batter as usual and then drop it on your (very!) hot griddle in lines and squiggles. You can use a squirt bottle to do this, but I just used […]

Deviled Eggs with Mascarpone Cheese and Pancetta

April 6, 2014 by Ali

Yikes, it’s been a while hasn’t it? We’ve been busy over here at Kitchenpants! with racing season and gymnastics season, not to mention birthdays (well, hello 38…pass that bottle of Chardonnay over here and no, I don’t need a glass), travels and guests (including a visit from a proper southern lady who got me to nibble on a calf fry (never again) AND spend hours on a golf course (possibly again)), and a smattering of happy hours and brunch dates […]

Simple Meatballs

February 15, 2014 by Ali

From the depths of the blog-title trash can for this post: Meatballs Sans Gross Flecks of Green: As a rule, I don’t really like meatballs at all, but I like them even less when they feature flecks of leafy green stuff. I don’t care if parsley or basil adds flavor – it looks nasty. Write-These-Down-Will-You Meatballs: So named because when I made these back in October for my parents, my dad told my mom to be sure to get the […]

Pecorino Romano and Bacon Wrapped Asparagus

February 10, 2014 by Ali

I don’t know about you, but when I was a kid, I couldn’t wait to be an adult. All of my pretend games centered around adult activities. There was “Alison’s Store” which consisted of hawking items from the confines of my closet. Also high on the list was “Work”, a game in which I would pack my mom’s ledger paper and a calculator into a briefcase and crunch numbers under the stairs in the basement. And, of course, “Prom” in […]

The Jenny Jo: Honey Jalapeño Margarita

January 26, 2014 by Ali

I remember Jenny before she remembers me. On the first day of Kindergarten, I dutifully filed past a little girl whose father was kneeling down in front of her reassuring her that it was going to be all right to go inside. She was all teary-eyed and he had to lead her in by the hand. Jenny and I coexisted peacefully and without incident or much interaction besides birthday parties and recess and chicken coops until I pop up in […]

Oven-Baked Baby Back Ribs with Whiskey Glaze

January 11, 2014 by Ali

This recipe – shown above in its infancy – is what happens when a member of the Kitchenpants! Tasting Committee and lover of whiskey says, “You should make something with whiskey!” Normally, the only thing I make with whiskey is a gagging noise. I’m sorry. I just can’t with whiskey. No matter how you explain it to me or how I practice the proper tasting techniques or how aware I am that a girl who sips whiskey is very appealing […]

Race Recap: 10 Things I Love About the New Years Double

January 2, 2014 by Ali

So, I said I had some wicked crazy New Year’s plans, right? Right. And here they are: This event – produced by The Active Joe and held in Allen, Texas – offers a two races: one on New Year’s Eve and one on New Year’s Day. Runners can choose to run either one or both races and furthermore, they can choose which distances to run for each race. I absolutely loved this event. Loved it. Loved. It. And no, I […]
