Late night blog reading can be very dangerous… I find myself craving all sorts of delicious foods at 11:00pm, when it is far too late to run to the store to pick of a few last minute ingredients. I picked this week’s posts for my Friday Favorites because they were the ones that made me…

It’s that time of year again… Halloween! As I mentioned yesterday, I’m not a big Halloween person. It’s just not something that I usually get really into, and I really haven’t posted too many Halloween recipes. I don’t want to leave you in the dark searching for recipes, though, so I thought it would only…

Lately I feel like I’m constantly apologizing for how busy I am and the fact that I’m posting “simple” recipes. I have plans for some more “sophisticated” recipes in the next week or so, but I’ve been finding it hard to get around to preparing and photographing them. Work has picked up a bit for…

Do you ever hide food in your pantry and forget it’s there? Well, I bought a bag of Halloween M&Ms a few weeks ago when I was out at Target… I knew I wanted to make a Halloween treat with them, so I wrapped them up in the Target bag and stuck them in the…

Over the last few years, I have started making more and more homemade gifts. One of my favorite gifts to make is popcorn. I have made a variety of toffee, caramel, and chocolate popcorns. Popcorn looks great in a clear cellophane bag tied with ribbon, or in a glass jar. It is a great addition…
