Whatever you do, DO NOT make this recipe. I’m serious. I can say nothing about nutritional benefits… There are none. But, you probably won’t be able to leave it alone. You’ll be licking spoons and sneaking a snack or two (or three) while you are making it. You might even find yourself coming up with…

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Red Star Yeast. As always, all opinions expressed are my own. Lately, I find myself drawn to bread recipes that require no kneading. It’s not that I’m opposed to kneading, not at all. But, it always seems to work out that I am elbow…

I feel kind of silly writing about soup when the temperatures are going to be in the 80s for a few days this week. Just a few days ago, however, it felt like winter. And, if the last few months are any indication of the weather patterns we will have this spring, I’m guessing that there…

I’m tired. Despite my greatest intentions, I don’t get as many things done during the day as I’d like to. I haven’t written as many blog posts over the last few months as I feel I should. Some nights, scrambled eggs or a smoothie are about the only thing I have the energy to make…

Lately I have started to appreciate simplicity – in my cooking, baking, and photography. When I am in the kitchen, I am drawn to recipes emphasizing a few quality ingredients. I’ve found that when I pick up my camera, I want to capture things as they are… If the light isn’t perfect, that’s OK. I want…

Don’t you love that moment when your spouse (or kids, friends, you get the idea) eats a dish containing a food that they supposedly “don’t like” and have a food epiphany? As soon as someone tells me that they don’t care for a particular food, I consider it my personal mission to create a dish…

Game day is finally here! Are you ready? This year’s Super Bowl party will be a bit different at my house… In fact, calling it a “party” is a bit of a stretch. You see, while we are huge Ravens fans and are very excited about the game, there is another big event to consider……

Let’s talk about salad, shall we? It seems that when January rolls around, everyone starts eating salads again. Sure, I understand that a lot of people are making resolutions and turming over a new leaf in the new year, but as someone who is not a big fan of salads, it’s always a struggle for…

I have always loved baking in the mornings, especially in the colder months of the year. There’s just something about heating up the oven on a chilly morning and baking something for breakfast in my PJs. Since Miss Madison arrived, though, I haven’t been doing as much early morning baking. Morning baking has been replaced with…

This blog post was supposed to be a recipe for a fabulous pumpkin cheesecake with a luscious apple topping. I had it all planned out and spent my precious free time one evening baking the cheesecake. I was careful not to over-mix the filling and I let it cool in the oven for two hours…
