For the first week in quite a while, I spent quite a bit of time in the kitchen this week. It was a nice change, and I enjoyed having some time to be elbow deep in bread flour and butter. I’m sure by the time next week rolls around, I’ll be busy again… But, for…
A few weeks ago, it occurred to me that I had never made a pumpkin pie from scratch… In fact, I’m not sure I had ever really made a pumpkin pie. Pumpkin pie is a Thanksgiving staple, but usually either my mom or my grandmother makes the pumpkin pie. I’ve never really had a reason to…
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…
Each week it gets a little bit harder to think of something to say to go along with my Friday Favorites. I’d love to have some great witty introduction paragraph, but I come up with nothing. It’s not that the recipes aren’t good… I find tons of incredible recipes each week! So, this week, I’m just…
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Carapelli for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. A few years ago, I was traveling with my husband in Boston. He was on a business trip and was working during the days, and I was working from the hotel in the mornings and then…
I think that one of the reasons that I was so excited to make the cranberry mustard that I shared yesterday was that I couldn’t stop thinking of things to dip in it. Soft pretzel bites were at the top of my list. Originally, I planned to make my usual whole wheat soft pretzels. But,…
I am really loving the fact that chilly weather is here. I’ve finally had the chance to pull out a few sweaters from my closet. I love wearing boots. And, of course, you can’t beat a nice hot latte in the afternoon. As you might expect, I’ve really been focusing on chilly weather recipes lately….
Another busy week has come and gone… That just seems to be the way it goes lately. I am looking forward to a nice, relaxing weekend, though. Part of my plan for the weekend include spending some time in the kitchen. That really is one of my favorite ways to relax! And, with lots of great new…
Baking season is here! I can think of very few better ways to spend a chilly fall afternoon than baking homemade bread. It warms up the kitchen and fills the house with a wonderful aroma. Plus, your family will thank you when they sit down to dinner with warm, freshly baked bread on the table! You…
I don’t know if there is another pumpkin shortage this year, but I certainly haven’t been able to find any cans of pumpkin on the shelves at my local grocery store. It’s not a big deal, though… I’d actually rather make my own! Last year, I wrote a quick tutorial on how to make your…
