Oh my how time flies! It seems like just yesterday that I was contemplating starting a little blog to keep track of my recipes online (and spare myself the hassle of constantly hand writing recipe cards for friends and family!). Yet somehow I’ve now managed to write a few blog posts (oh, 600 or so)…
Do you have an idea for a recipe that just consumes your mind? Last week, I had an idea of a banana upside down cake that I just couldn’t get out of my head! I’m not entirely sure where it came from… Perhaps it was the big pile of bananas sitting on my countertop. Or, it…
It’s time for my Friday Favorites, again… I’m not feeling so chatty this week, so we’ll just get right to it! Easter is right around the corner… And, when I think Easter, I think of peanut butter eggs! I can’t wait to try these Homemade Peanut Butter Easter Eggs from Confessions of a Cookbook Queen!…
Another week has come and gone! It’s hard to believe it. After enjoying the gorgeous weather last weekend while I was in New York City for a few days, it has gotten cold and rainy again… In fact, we are supposed to have lows in the 20s overnight and I’ve seen some flurries. That’s not really my…
It seems that no matter how often I make banana bread, we always seem to have a few brown bananas hanging out on the kitchen counter. Sometimes I put them in the freezer for later, but then I end up with a giant collection of frozen black bananas in my freezer. Don’t get me wrong, I…
Things have been a bit crazy around here lately. Since her knee surgery last week, our doggy has needed lots of extra attention. She’s not allowed to go up and down stairs, has to avoid all slippery surfaces (easier said than done since we have hardwood floors), and must wear one of those Elizabethan “cone” collars whenever she’s…
I just love this time of year… Don’t you? The leaves here have started to change, and I have been enjoying the crisp, cold air in the mornings when I head out for a run. Plus, the holidays are right around the corner. Seriously… What could be better?
This time of year always gets me into the mood for holiday foods and comforting meals that warm up the chilly nights. I’ve already started contemplating all of the recipes I want to try for the holidays, so I think that may have influenced my picks a bit this week. If you’re in a chilly weather baking mood, I think you’ll like them, too!
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…
Today I am doing something a bit different… I want to share a new cookbook with you, one that I have fallen in love with! The book I’m referring to is Desserts 4 Today by Abigail Johnson Dodge, a lovely collection of desserts that can be made with only four ingredients! I first met Abby at…
I still haven’t gotten over my muffins for breakfast mood… So last week I decided to use up the overly ripe bananas on the counter to make some banana muffins. When I started mixing up the batter, I intended to make my standard whole wheat banana bread based on a recipe from my mom. But,…
