Valentine’s Day is just around the corner… I’ve never been a big fan of the holiday, but it is a good excuse to make some fun food. So, for this week’s Friday Favorites, I thought I’d highlight a few of the Valentine’s Day-friendly desserts that caught my eye this week. Of course, they’re great for…
Whether you love it or hate it, entertaining is a big part of the holidays. I happen to be one of those people who really enjoys entertaining friends and family. If I had the time (and energy), I’d prepare a 4 course dinner for friends and family every night of the week. I am also…
I decided to share a cookie recipe with you today. It’s made with Nutella… And mini peanut butter cups. I also threw in some chocolate chips for good measure. They are cookies worth sharing. But, you may be thinking, “Does she realize that it’s the Monday before Thanksgiving?” And, rightfully so. Yes, I am aware…
This month was one of my favorite challenges since I started Kitchen Bootcamp last April (can you believe it’s been over a year now?)… We all know that I am a big fan of desserts (especially ice cream), so I had great hopes for this challenge. While I didn’t have nearly as much time as…
It’s Friday, Friday… Am I the only one who feels the need to walk around the house singing that horrid song every week when Friday rolls around? I’m really trying to stop, but that’s easier said than done. Fun, fun, fun, fun… I have to admit that I’ve gotten pretty far behind with my RSS…
Wow… What a week! The week started off with us moving the entire contents of our upstairs down into our living room and garage in preparation for carpet installation on Tuesday… Tuesday came and went, and there was no carpet. The carpet came on Wednesday instead. There were a few mishaps along the way, but by…
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…
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…
I don’t really have a long elaborate story to tell this week… It’s been a fairly ordinary week. I’ve been cooking, baking, writing, and taking photos. It’s been nice, but also uneventful. So, instead of dragging things out any further, I’ll just tell you about my favorite blog posts from the past week! I love doughnuts, but…
Instead of making homemade chocolates this year, I decided to decorate some box of chocolate cookies instead… You know, those heart-shaped boxes that can only be found around Valentine’s Day. It seemed like a fun cookie design to try just for fun (and a good way to use up the rest of my Nutella cutout cookies and royal icing from my heart cookies last week).
