Fall has definitely made a grand entrance in my area of the Pacific Northwest.  It's the perfect weather for a nice bowl of hot soup, and some steaming grilled bacon and cheese sandwiches.  I had already made a couple loaves of Honey Oat Bread to make the sandwiches with, and just needed a good, hearty soup.  While I was over at a friend's house a few weeks back, she had made a batch of this soup to share with all of us.  Now, I am not a fan of carrots ("gasp!!" , I know..), so was not expecting...

In a search for something to do with my browning bananas yesterday, I came across this recipe at Sally's Baking Addiction.  The thing I love about her site is she takes some of the most unhealthy comfort foods, and makes them fit into a healthier lifestyle, so I can feel better about eating stuff like this when I get the craving.  These sounded perfect.  They use no butter or oil, so they are "healthier" than other variations.  The only alteration I made was substituting peanut butter chips in place...

   I got into a baking mood yesterday, but once again find myself tired of the same old things I always make in there.  Instead, I went browsing through my Pinterest boards looking for something new and tantalizing.   I found them here:  Two Peas & Their Pod.   I get a lot of recipes from this website.  I have never had one fail me.  In fact, they've probably been linked to in more than a few of my posts.  =)  There they call them "Zucchini Applesauce Oatmeal...

A while back, the library I work at had the fantastic idea of creating a cookie cookbook to help raise funds for our Friends of the Library group that helps finance some of the branch's activities, programs, etc.   They had everyone, patrons and coworkers alike, submit their favorite cookie recipes.  They then selected the favorites, and put them into a cookbook.  See it here:  Cookie Cookbook.  Now, I know this isn't a cookie, but I sure am glad they included it in this cookbook. ...

Yeah... you read that correctly.  Are you salivating yet?  I know I am.   I've got a batch of it in the oven right now, and I can't wait to devour it, probably still hot from the pan.  If it's anything like last time, I will be too impatient, and will try to get it out of the pan while it's still too hot.  This will cause it to fall apart, which will of course require me to immediately devour it.  I mean, its broken, so it must be eaten right away, right?? I got the original recipe...

  Ok.  I can't say that this is the best thing I've ever put in my mouth, as the title suggests.  That's what I've just heard it called.   It's pretty damn good, though!  The blog I adapted it from calls it Parmesan Crusted Chicken.   However, since I didn't use just Parmesan cheese, I felt that was misleading, so kept with the OMG. It's more eye-catchy anyway.  =)   This chicken is super simple- using only 4 ingredients you probably already have in your fridge and...
