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…
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…
When it comes to dinner parties around the holidays, I am all for thinking outside the box. Turkey, ham, and roast beef are fantastic, but sometimes I think it’s fun to do something a bit more casual and cozy, especially for a small gathering of friends or family! Casseroles are a great way to keep…
The word on the street is that a hurricane is headed for the East coast… Just a few days after an earthquake! It’s crazy out there! So, if you’re rained in this weekend, why not spend some time in the kitchen? Here are a few recipes to get you started… I cannot wait to make…
Last weekend, my husband and I watched the movie Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead. How’s that for a Monday morning blog post intro? It’s relevant, though… I promise! You see, we have a few friends who have done the whole “juicing” diet thing. Some have had good results, others have ended up not feeling so…
I mentioned yesterday how much I love to make pesto during the summer. It’s just so easy and flavorful. And, I think I failed to mention yesterday, that it doesn’t require turning on the oven… Or even the stove! Since pesto itself does not make a meal, a few weeks ago I decided to use…
I would love to say that we have lots of ripe, juicy tomatoes in our garden at the moment, but that’s not the case. It seems that the hot, dry weather we have had lately is working against me. And, of course, the groundhog that has learned to climb the fence isn’t really helping, either….
Black plates on a wedding registry… Who does that?! Well, you’re reading her blog… And, you’ve probably seen said plates in many photos over the past few years! Yes, my wedding registry included black dishes… Plates, bowls, a creamer set, and even a few platters. I definitely got a few raised eyebrows and lots of questions as the…
This week, I really have the 4th of July on the brain… You may have noticed that if you’ve seen all of the 4th of July dessert ideas I’ve been posting this week (from ice cream to sorbet to s’mores cookie sandwiches!). I just can’t help myself! While I’m not a big fan of summer…
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…
