Do you ever start out cooking with one dish in mind but end up making something totally different? Maybe it’s just me. If you follow my tweets, you may remember that I set out to make stuffed pork chops one evening last week… However, when everything was said and done, the stuffed pork chops turned…

POM-Cider Glazed Pork Chops
Not long ago, I was sent a case of POM Wonderful 100% pomegranate juice. Not only is the juice loaded with antioxidants and great for you, it is also a beautiful color, so I knew it would be great to use in a recipe. Around the same time, I just happened to see a display of…
Friday Favorites – Episode 32
Another Friday is here, which means it’s time for this week’s Friday Favorites! After last week’s Halloween Edition, I am thinking that maybe I will have to look for a new picture for the Friday Favorites. After 30+ episodes of the Friday Favorites, I’m getting sick of this one. I will have to add a…
Pumpkin Cranberry Apple Baked Oatmeal
We had a few chilly mornings last week which got me thinking about baked oatmeal. It’s kind of strange that I immediately wanted baked oatmeal, though, because I’ve never been much of an oatmeal eater – baked or not. It just sounded like a nice warm treat after my early morning walks with our yellow…
Pumpkin Cupcakes with Cinnamon Brown Sugar Buttercream
Now that the word about my food blog has started to spread, it has become an expectation that I will bring food with me everywhere I go. It’s not really a bad thing, because it gives me a good excuse to get rid of some of the baked goods that I love to make but…
Roasted Smashed Yams
I’m in a fall-inspired comfort food mood… Can you tell? I blame it on the weather. We went to Boston this past weekend for a short vacation. Well, we picked the wrong weekend. It was cold and windy, and it even snowed a bit on Sunday. We were afraid we were going to get snowed in…
Beef Stew with Cinnamon and Yams
Last week we had a few of those quintessential fall days. You know the ones – sunny with crisp cool air during the day and chilly nights that are perfect for snuggling up with an extra blanket on your bed. Fall days always make me want a hearty, warming dinner. My solution? Beef stew. This is…
Friday Favorites – Episode 28
The cooler weather (dare I even say cold weather?) this week has me in the mood to do some fall baking. For some reason, in my mind, I associate fall with baking. I suppose that’s because the fall leads into Thanksgiving and then the Christmas season, and I always step up my baking for the…
Friday Favorites – Episode 25
Friday has arrived… Thank goodness! I started writing this blog post last evening, but I didn’t get far. I had a meeting this morning and lots of email when I got home from my meeting. Now, I am caught up on email, and I am quickly trying to get my blog post done so that…
Friday Favorites – Episode 23
This week’s Friday Favorites have a definite theme – baking. And honestly, what’s wrong with that? I apologize to those of you who may be on a diet or watching what you eat. However, I am a firm believer in eating what you want – in moderation. While I am definitely not a runway model,…
