Today I had the privilege to guest post on another great blog - Merry Gourmet! Since Merry-Jennifer gave me the freedom to write about whatever I wanted, I decided to do a bit of baking. You know that I love to take traditional recipes and jazz them up a ...

Chicken Pesto Calzones + Stocking the Freezer (WFMW)
Are you familiar with Works for Me Wednesday hosted by We Are THAT Family? I've been lurking in the shadows reading everyone's great tips for a while, and I have finally (finally!) decided that it's time for me to join in. I've shared a few tips on my ...
Simple Focaccia (Kitchen Bootcamp)
Since I will be wrapping up the Kitchen Bootcamp challenge on Friday, I thought I'd share another yeast bread recipe with you this week. It is a bit last minute, but I'm still trying to recover from a few busy weeks and rediscover what a "normal week" feels like! This ...
Homemade Sandwich Bread Video (Kitchen Bootcamp)
I had hoped to post this video last week, but I chose relaxation over video editing. Even though this is my third video, it still takes me quite a while to edit and prepare the videos before I get them up here on the blog. So, since we were ...

Blueberry Corn Muffins
I go through breakfast stages. For a few weeks, I'll be really into smoothies or yogurt or cereal, and then I get bored and move onto something else. Lately I've been in a muffin mood. I can't really afford to have sugar-loaded cupcakes disguised as breakfast food every day for ...
Hamburger Rolls
I love to make burgers - especially this time of year. I have tried making my own hamburger rolls a few times in the past, but I haven't been too happy with the results. Usually, the rolls just aren't quite soft enough and I'm not happy with the texture. A ...
