This has been one of the first weeks in quite a while that my hubby and I didn’t have something on the schedule every single night of the week. And, it’s been great. Because I’ve had some down time in the evenings, I’ve also been spending more time in the kitchen during the day. That’s…
It’s time for this week’s Friday Favorites again! Even though I’ve been feeling a little bit better each day, I’m afraid I still have a while until I’m back to 100% again. I’ve been able to get back into the kitchen a little bit, but not nearly as much as I like. Instead, I’ve been doing…
It’s time to recap another Kitchen Bootcamp challenge! This month, I thought it would be fun to mix things up a bit and take on the World Cuisines chapter from The Professional Chef, our monthly textbook so to speak. I knew that some new flavors would help me get out of a bit of a…
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…
Friday has rolled around yet again!

The October 2010 Daring Bakers challenge was hosted by Lori of Butter Me Up. Lori chose to challenge DBers to make doughnuts. She used several sources for her recipes including Alton Brown, Nancy Silverton, Kate Neumann and Epicurious. I had mixed feelings about this month’s Daring Bakers challenge… I love doughnuts, but I’m really not…
Today’s Friday Favorites are a bit different for one very important reason… Today is the 4th annual World Nutella Day! You all know that I am a Nutella fan (and that I love participating in the Nutella Challenge). So, you know I couldn’t resist participating in World Nutella Day, which is hosted by Ms. Adventures…
I can’t believe it’s Friday already again. Even scarier is the fact that Christmas is now only three short weeks away! This fall has gone by in a flash… It’s hard to believe that Thanksgiving is already over and the Christmas season is now in full swing! So, if you’re still scrambling to catch up…
