All week I have been taunting you with my pumpkin spice cupcakes… It wasn’t very nice, and I’m sorry. But, I think they are worth the wait! The thing is, I have been working up to the completed cupcakes all week long. They were a combination of a few components, and if I had thrown…
My husband has a “Theory of October”… Basically, he has decided that October is the best month of the year (pumpkins, apple cider, hoodies, crisp cool air, and my birthday… well, my birthday isn’t actually on his list, but it should be!)… And, he would challenge you to find a month that is better than…
Since I chose sandwiches for this month’s Kitchen Bootcamp challenge (against my better judgment, perhaps), I have been forcing myself to attempt some new sandwich recipes, even though I’m not much of a sandwich person. So, as promised, today I am sharing my second sandwich recipe. One of the sandwiches that I love, but rarely make…
The September 2010 Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Mandy of “What the Fruitcake?!” Mandy challenged everyone to make Decorated Sugar Cookies based on recipes from Peggy Porschen and The Joy of Baking. You can imagine my delight when I discovered that this month’s Daring Bakers challenge involved decorating sugar cookies! I’ve been slacking a…
Ready for the weekend? I know that I am… This week has been a busy one and I’m looking forward to some time to relax. Perhaps I’ll even have time to try a few of these great recipes… I love this Turkey and Bean Chili from How To: Simplify… It is the perfect dish for…

Last week I shared my simple method for making homemade pumpkin puree. So today it only seemed natural that I’d share a quick idea for what to do with all of the pumpkin seeds that you inevitably have left over when you make puree! Almost every set of how-to instructions for pumpkins, whether it’s carving…
Yesterday, I planned to bake some whole wheat bread. When I went to the pantry to get out my spare bag of whole wheat flour, it turned out that it was a bag of granulated sugar instead. How could this happen? I never run out of whole wheat flour! Last week, I ran out of…
I’m sure all of you already know that two of my favorite things are Nutella and espresso. Who’s with me? When I was asked to write a guest post for Flavia’s Flavors, I thought I’d combine the two in a rich and creamy ice cream. After all, Flavia is on vacation in Italy (and I…
It’s Friday again, which can only mean one thing… Well, maybe a few things. You may be looking forward to the weekend and the big plans you have, but I was talking about my Friday Favorites! Sure, that might not be quite as excited as what you had in mind, but checking out these blog…
