No campfire? No problem! You can still enjoy s’mores this Fourth of July! You know I couldn’t just make the soft and chewy graham cookies that I shared a few days ago and leave it at that, right? Of course not! Instead, I decided to take the cookies and turn them into s’mores cookie sandwiches…
Let me just be honest with you for a second… I’m not a wine connoisseur. Sure, I like to have a glass of wine with dinner on occasion. And, I like a nice fruity dessert wine in the evening. But, you won’t catch me waxing philosophic about the subtle undertones or earthy aromas in a…
Given the choice between a chewy cookie and a crisp cracker, I will always go for the cookie. So, last week I decided to try to improve on a summertime favorite… The graham cracker. Yeah, everyone loves them in s’mores, but don’t you agree that they could use a bit of improvement? If you ask…
A few weeks ago, my mom did some cherry picking at a local orchard… And, since cherry picking is not one of my post-surgery approved activities, she picked some cherries for me and brought them over to my house.

Late night blog reading can be very dangerous… I find myself craving all sorts of delicious foods at 11:00pm, when it is far too late to run to the store to pick of a few last minute ingredients. I picked this week’s posts for my Friday Favorites because they were the ones that made me…
I cannot keep track of how many different brownie recipes I have tried… Some have worked, some haven’t. Some have turned out cakey (not my thing), and some are chewy and fudgy (my preference). And, of course, there were the ones that had a giant crater in the middle and turned to rock on the…
I don’t really like cold cereal. Don’t hate me… And, don’t waste your time trying to change my mind. It won’t work. I have been a cereal hater for as long as I can remember. Instead, I tend to make breakfast most mornings… And, pancakes are one of my favorite breakfasts to make. While I…
I’m all about simple and easy meals lately… I know that’s not usually my M.O. (that’s modus operandi for those of you not obsessed with Law and Order), but things have changed a bit around here. While I would love to be making homemade ravioli and spending hours in the kitchen making homemade puff pastry,…
It’s time to announce the next Kitchen Bootcamp challenge! I appreciate everyone’s patience last month with my extended challenge… Since I’m still not completely back on my feet (especially in the kitchen!), it has been a huge help to me to extend the challenge a bit. So, I am going to do the same thing…
Father’s Day is right around the corner… In fact, it’s on Sunday. Consider this your reminder. So, with Father’s Day in mind, I thought it would be fun to share some of my favorite father-friendly and father-approved recipes that I came across this past week. If you’re looking for some ideas of what to make…
