Can you believe October is right around the corner? I’m not entirely sure where September went, but I am ready for October. It happens to be my favorite month of the year (and not just because I have a birthday in October)! All of my favorite foods are readily available (like apples and pumpkins), and it is…
It’s a pretty well known fact that I’m not a big fan of kitchen gadgets. You can keep your cupcake corers, onion choppers, and mini cupcake baking machines. The thing is, much like Alton Brown (who is one of the few food celebrities that I really admire), I have no room in my kitchen for…
You never know when inspiration will strike… Over the weekend, a few of my hubby’s out-of-state friends came to stay with us for a few days. They have been hanging out and playing a lot of Xbox. Since they hadn’t been to Hershey before, though, we decided that we had to take them to Hershey’s Chocolate…
You may have been wondering where my Friday Favorites went… But do not fear! It’s been a few weeks since I had a chance to do much blog reading (life got in the way… that happens sometimes!). But, this week, I made a point to sit down and go through a lot of the blog…

A lot of times my recipe ideas aren’t really recipe ideas but flavor combinations that I just can’t get out of my head. This recipe is a perfect example. For days, I couldn’t stop thinking about how I wanted to make something with caramelized onions, apples, and gorgonzola cheese. I didn’t care what the recipe…
This time of year we start to get kale in our CSA boxes on a fairly regular basis. I know a lot of you have probably tried the ever-popular baked kale chips, and you may love them… But, I really can’t say that I’m a fan. Sure, if you add a lot of oil and…
Let me just tell you… When you’ve been dealing with trying to clean up a flooded basement, there aren’t many surprises better than finding a big box of chocolate on your doorstep. Especially if you love chocolate as much as I do! I was given the opportunity to try out some of the products from…
Last summer, I finally figured out the whole homemade ice cream thing. After a year or two of icy homemade ice cream that turned into a brick when I popped it into the freezer, I finally realized that starting with a custard base was the way to go. I’ve been making lots (and lots) of…
I didn’t think that this blog post was going to happen today. I spent most of the day yesterday dealing with the immense amount of rain that has fallen… The creek behind our house flash flooded and then we started getting water in our basement because the ground is so saturated. Needless to say, writing…
