This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Sunkist for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. Isn’t it funny how certain foods remind you of a particular time of year? Previously, when I thought of oranges, I was always reminded of Christmas. We always had oranges on hand around the holidays because…
Things are a bit slow around my house at the moment. My husband is doing a great job helping me out in the kitchen, and I have even mustered up the energy to do a few (small) things myself. Baby steps! While I have managed to put a few dishes in the dishwasher, chop some…
When I was making doughnuts a few weeks ago, I was reminded of how much I don’t like frying. I love doughnuts, but I hate frying. So, I knew I needed to start working on some new techniques for making doughnuts. I’ve been seeing a lot of baked doughnut recipes using those fun doughnut pans… I…
Today I had the privilege to guest post on another great blog – Merry Gourmet! Since Merry-Jennifer gave me the freedom to write about whatever I wanted, I decided to do a bit of baking. You know that I love to take traditional recipes and jazz them up a bit with whole wheat flour and…
Friday Favorites two weeks in a row… Can you believe it? I’ll give you a minute… Now that you’ve gotten over the initial shock, let’s get right to my favorite posts from the past week… Shall we? I really think I’ve picked some good ones this week… I hope you agree! I am loving this…

My hubby has been asking for some of my banana chip muffins for breakfast lately. So, I dug out some of the ripe bananas that I have stashed (or should I say stockpiled) in the freezer with full intentions of making some muffins. When I got started, though, I realized that I wasn’t really in…
Happy (finally) Friday! Don’t you hate those weeks when you keep thinking that it’s later in the week than it really is? All day on Wednesday, I kept thinking it was Thursday. I almost got started writing my Friday Favorites when I was rudely awakened to the fact that it was only Wednesday. Anyway, now it…
When I started the Penny Pinching Pantry Raid challenge, I decided that I would not be counting the food I prepared for previously planned events as a part of the challenge. The two picnics I attended yesterday for the 4th of July fell into that category. Since I needed to make four dozen cupcakes, I decided…
This week I hit my 100th blog post… and I’m already on my 13th edition of my Friday Favorites! It seems like just yesterday that I was pondering starting a food blog. Originally, I just wanted to work on a few original recipes to put together a cookbook for my friends and family for Christmas. As…
