Recipes I Can't Wait To Try

As usual, there are a whole bunch of beautiful and appetizing recipes that have been posted by my favorite bloggers recently. I can't wait to try these!

Carrot Cake and Cheesecake Cake - Beantown Baker
Carrot cake and cheesecake are easily my two favorites cakes. Combining them into one fabulous dessert? Decadent and amazing! Now I just need to find people to help me eat it...

Crispy Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus - Steamy Kitchen
I can't get enough asparagus in the Spring. You'll be seeing more of it on my blog at the end of this week! This would be so lovely accompanying a nice dinner.

Mmmm Sauce - Peas and Thank You
This looks amazing. I need to get some nutritional yeast. I think you can get it from the bulk bins at Whole Foods. Added bonus, you will thank me for directing you to Peas and Thank You, because it is the funniest blog I read. I literally laugh out loud all the time. So, your day will be brightened. You are welcome.

Swiss and Ham Tartlets - Baked Bree
I bet these would be delicious (and a little simpler) using small thin bread rounds as the crust. The possibilities for fillings are endless. A great make-ahead hors d'oeuvres. I can see myself using this recipe as inspiration for cocktail party food all the time.

Pearl Barley with Edamame and Peas - Running From The Kitchen
This looks so light and lovely, and I've been meaning to add pearl barley to my pantry. I bet you could even add some asparagus!

Bacon and Cheese Muffins - Eat Live Run
I want to host a brunch buffet just so I can serve these. Savory muffins - yum!

Frosty Punch Romaine - Healthy. Happy. Life
I can't wait to serve these for dessert this summer and regale everyone with the story of how it was the last thing eaten on the Titanic!

Roasted Sweet Potato Salad

A few weeks ago we went into Boston for the day. After chasing little people up, down, and around the Children's Museum, watching Colin climb up three stories on a jungle gym and James' excitement at a room filled with golf balls, we went to Flour Bakery for lunch. I had the Roasted Sweet Potato sandwich, and it was amazing. I just checked the menu , and it looks like they don't offer it right now, but lucky for you I made a salad that's just as good. The original sandwich was roasted sweet potato, apple, walnut pesto, blue cheese and kale on wheat bread. I took some liberties, changed up some ingredients, and made it into a salad.

Lemon Garlic Baked Salmon

Happy New Year! I hope you had a wonderful holiday season, and ate all the cookies. I'm not big on New Year's resolutions, but all the treats I've been eating for the past month have been making me feel a little sluggish. When I saw a one day "cleanse" I thought I'd give it a try. Loosely, it called for drinking hot lemon water first thing in the morning, a Glowing Green Smoothie for breakfast, Ginger Lemon Cayenne Detox tea and vegetables for lunch and dinner. My day went like this: First thing after my run: Hot Lemon water - This is a nice way to warm up. I do this all the time. Breakfast: Glowing Green Smoothie - I liked it a lot. Very refreshing and hydrating. Wished I hadn't baked donuts the night before as they were staring me down on the kitchen counter. Lunch: Spicy Mulligatawny Soup - I'm pretty sure that's not what they meant by "salad," but I went with it. Snack: Ginger Lemon Cayenne Detox tea - Zingy and invigorat

My big sister and the egg sandwich that might cure her cancer

I usually like to keep things light hearted here At Home With Ann. Simple recipes, awkward jokes, toddler antics and kitchen fiascos. But we all experience times in life when we are thrown for a loop and face something that stops us in our tracks. I, like a classic control freak, tend to keep things to myself. Everything is under control, see? My house is clean, dinner is cooked, the dishes are done, I'm on schedule, I blow dried my hair, I don't need help. See? See? But this time it's not about me, it's not something I can control, and wishing it away won't actually make it go away. Me, my Mom and Sarah last Summer Three years ago my sister, Sarah, was diagnosed with a form of leukemia called AML (acute myeloid leukemia). My reaction was typical. This happens to other people. Not my 33 year old sister who lives by the ocean, gets tons of fresh air and exercise, and eats healthier than anyone who has ever entered Whole Foods. She can't be sic
