I love bundt cakes… They are kind of like the tom boy of the cake world, but in a really good way. It’s not much of a secret to anyone who knows me that I can be a bit high maintenance. I’m not much of a tom boy at all. I am the girl who…

Jalapeño Pepper Jam
In my canning fury a few weeks ago, one of the new recipes I tried was a recipe for hot pepper jam. I wasn’t entirely sure what to think… Jalapeño peppers in a sweet jam? I was skeptical. But, I had tasted a few similar recipes at the farmers market a few weeks earlier, so I figured…
Friday Favorites – Episode 104
The word on the street is that a hurricane is headed for the East coast… Just a few days after an earthquake! It’s crazy out there! So, if you’re rained in this weekend, why not spend some time in the kitchen? Here are a few recipes to get you started… I cannot wait to make…
Honey Cinnamon Peach Pie
Sometimes you just need to bake a pie. That’s what I tweeted last week when I was baking this peach pie. And, yes, I am going from talking about juicing and eating raw veggies (see this post about gazpacho if you’re not sure what I’m talking about) to talking about the therapeutic value of baking…
My Kitchen Addiction Gift Basket – A Fund for Jennie
Not long ago, I shared a recipe for peanut butter pie and told you about my friend Jennie who suddenly lost her husband and best friend. I was struggling to process the news and had trouble finding the words to write my blog post. But, I knew that I had to do it. For Mikey… And,…
Gazpacho
Last weekend, my husband and I watched the movie Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead. How’s that for a Monday morning blog post intro? It’s relevant, though… I promise! You see, we have a few friends who have done the whole “juicing” diet thing. Some have had good results, others have ended up not feeling so…
Friday Favorites – Episode 103
It’s Friday! Are you as excited about that as I am? It’s been a crazy week for me… I’d rather not get into the details, but just take my word for it that I’m ready for Friday. And the weekend. I am ready for a break! This weekend I’m hoping to relax and spend some…
Baked Green Bean Fries with Roasted Garlic Dipping Sauce
Do you ever find yourself in one of those moments where you just have no idea what to do next and you find yourself unable to do anything at all? That is exactly what happens to me when I am trying to plan meals for the week. Especially when I don’t have a lot of…
Lemon Herb Hummus
I find myself tending towards simple food in the summer. I’m sure you can relate. I want something that’s simple to make and made with fresh, healthy ingredients. That’s the place where this lemon herb hummus came from. The last few weeks have been pretty busy around here (I won’t bore you with the details),…
Individual Peanut Butter Tarts (With Love for Jennie)
Last Sunday, I was relaxing after a busy weekend, and I saw this tweet from Jennifer Perillo – He’s gone. And my heart is shattered into a million pieces. I immediately feared the worst, but I hoped I was wrong. Perhaps I was misisng something. I didn’t want to jump to conclusions. So, I sent her…
