If you read my piece on baking with butter over at In Jennie’s Kitchen a few months ago, you already know that I am a big fan of Michael Ruhlman’s book Ratio. It has definitely freed me from always being tied to a recipe or cookbook. That’s not to say that I never follow a…

Ricotta Filled Pancakes with Blueberry Sauce
Everyone loves blueberry pancakes, right? At first bite, these pancakes will satisfy any blueberry pancake craving. But, then you hit a little pocket of warm, creamy ricotta cheese with a hint of honey and orange, and you know that these are not your ordinary blueberry pancakes! For the past few days, I have been dreaming…
Friday Favorites – Episode 48
Sometime last week, I was pondering what would happen if I stayed offline for a few weeks… No blog, no Twitter, no Facebook, no commenting, etc. So, of course, I mentioned it in one of my Tweets and a few of you responded saying that you would miss me (thanks for the vote of confidence…
Toffee Pecan Brownies
Some people like cakey brownies… I am not one of those people. If you are one of those people, these brownies aren’t for you. I’ve never been completely happy with my from scratch brownie recipes. I have tried a few, and they never turn out quite as ooey-gooey and fudgy as I would like them…

Pasta e Fagioli Soup with Kale
The best thing about slow cooker recipes is that I usually have leftovers. When I take the time to prepare a meal in my slow cooker, I always make sure to make a large batch so that I can use it later in the week or pop it into the freezer for a quick meal on…
Parmesan Herb Bread
My husband always raves about the bread at Italian restaurants… Not just the typical white “Italian” bread, but the herb breads that are often served with olive oil for dipping. You know what I mean, right? So, I decided to try my hand at some bread of my own. Of course, since I was making…
Fighting Hunger… One P-B-J-and-M at a time!
Did you know that you can help fight hunger with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich? It’s true! If you read this blog regularly, you know that the fight against hunger is a cause that I am passionate about. So, I was excited to hear about the PB&J My Way recipe contest sponsored by the…
