I find that, because I have a food blog, everyone assumes that I’m always in the mood to cook. They think that it’s all chef-y food, all the time. I wish that was the truth… But, unfortunately, I tend to go through kitchen mood swings. Lately, I’ve been craving some simplicity. When it has come…
As I’ve been catching up on my blog reading over the past week or so, I’ve noticed that a lot of people are interested in learning to bake bread this year. I love it! I plan to continue baking homemade bread this year, and I’m thrilled to see that so many others are excited about…
I have mixed feelings about the time after New Years… I always feel a bit of sadness taking down the Christmas decorations. Once the tree comes down, there’s no denying that the holiday season is over. But, at the same time, I enjoy the quietness of the winter months that follow the holidays. I look forward…
Last summer, I finally figured out the whole homemade ice cream thing. After a year or two of icy homemade ice cream that turned into a brick when I popped it into the freezer, I finally realized that starting with a custard base was the way to go. I’ve been making lots (and lots) of…
Last Sunday, I was relaxing after a busy weekend, and I saw this tweet from Jennifer Perillo – He’s gone. And my heart is shattered into a million pieces. I immediately feared the worst, but I hoped I was wrong. Perhaps I was misisng something. I didn’t want to jump to conclusions. So, I sent her…
It’s been a little while since I let Yellowdog guest post here on the site. She loved everyone’s comments on her last post, and she’s just been begging and barking to do another post. Since I let my hubby guest post a few weeks ago, it’s only fair that I give Yellowdog another chance to share…
I’m all about simple and easy meals lately… I know that’s not usually my M.O. (that’s modus operandi for those of you not obsessed with Law and Order), but things have changed a bit around here. While I would love to be making homemade ravioli and spending hours in the kitchen making homemade puff pastry,…
There are few things better than fresh, sweet strawberries… Except maybe strawberry shortcake. And, if you ask me, replacing the shortcake with brownies makes it even better! Even though I don’t have tons of energy for cooking and baking, I have started to get back into the kitchen a bit. Over the weekend, my mom…
Today, I’m happy to introduce you to my hubby… You’ve heard a lot about him if you read my blog regularly. Normally, he’s pretty quiet, but he agreed to write a guest post for me to give everyone a quick update now that I am home from the hospital. He even took the photographs himself! I’m…
Today I am so lucky to have Amber from Bluebonnets & Brownies here to share a recipe for Weeknight Sausage Pasta with all of you! It’s really a good thing for everyone… If I was writing, you’d probably be reading all about hospital food… And, no one wants that! I met Amber at the Big…
