I am a coupon shopper.  If you follow me on Instagram, you may know that already, as I love taking pictures of the receipts showing everyone how much money I saved. I brag a little. I always try to save at least 30% off at the grocery store, but my goal is about 40%.  I’ve [...]]]> http://doughmesstic.com/2012/05/17/food-lion-its-new-its-improved-its-my-second-home-and-a-giveaway/feed/ 8 http://doughmesstic.com/2012/05/16/dole-ing-out-the-good-stuffand-a-giveaway/ http://doughmesstic.com/2012/05/16/dole-ing-out-the-good-stuffand-a-giveaway/#comments Wed, 16 May 2012 13:00:00 +0000 doughmesstic http://doughmesstic.com/?p=7563

A couple of weeks ago, I boarded a plane to California. Monterey, to be exact.  I’d never been to that part of the state before, so I really didn’t know what to expect.  Would it be like LA, the only place I’ve really ever been in California? Nothing could have prepared me for what I [...]]]> http://doughmesstic.com/2012/05/16/dole-ing-out-the-good-stuffand-a-giveaway/feed/ 59 http://doughmesstic.com/2012/05/15/banana-strawberry-kiwi-moscato-wine-sherbet/ http://doughmesstic.com/2012/05/15/banana-strawberry-kiwi-moscato-wine-sherbet/#comments Tue, 15 May 2012 13:00:00 +0000 doughmesstic http://doughmesstic.com/?p=7538

I’m really not even sure what to say. My cookbook is officially out. As in, available to purchase on Amazon, at Barnes & Noble, at Books-a-Million – pretty much any bookstore.  MY cookbook.  In stores. Bizarro-World. So, I thought a little celebration was in order.  What better way to celebrate than with a little drink [...]]]> http://doughmesstic.com/2012/05/15/banana-strawberry-kiwi-moscato-wine-sherbet/feed/ 1212 http://doughmesstic.com/2012/05/14/crispy-dubliner-bites-with-toasted-walnuts-pear-cashel-blue/ http://doughmesstic.com/2012/05/14/crispy-dubliner-bites-with-toasted-walnuts-pear-cashel-blue/#comments Mon, 14 May 2012 13:00:00 +0000 doughmesstic http://doughmesstic.com/?p=7529

Mouthful, isn’t it? You have no idea. If you’ve not introduced yourself to Kerrygold yet, I’m here to tell you…It’s about time you did. First off, their Dubliner is just about my favorite cheese ever. Ever.  It’s rich and yet unassuming.  It is amazing grated in to macaroni and cheese, scalloped potatoes, or a simple [...]]]> http://doughmesstic.com/2012/05/14/crispy-dubliner-bites-with-toasted-walnuts-pear-cashel-blue/feed/ 11 http://doughmesstic.com/2012/05/10/oreo-stuffed-cookie-popoversthe-picky-palate-popover/ http://doughmesstic.com/2012/05/10/oreo-stuffed-cookie-popoversthe-picky-palate-popover/#comments Thu, 10 May 2012 15:14:43 +0000 doughmesstic http://doughmesstic.com/?p=7504

Surely, you know Jenny. Picky Palate Jenny. I’ve known Jenny for a couple of years now, and we’ve met in person several times since then.  She’s a hoot, a classy lady, a great mom (and about to have another boy!), and of course, quite the food blogger!  Most people know her for her Chocolate Chip [...]]]> http://doughmesstic.com/2012/05/10/oreo-stuffed-cookie-popoversthe-picky-palate-popover/feed/ 11 http://doughmesstic.com/2012/05/09/mothers-day-menu-with-kitchenaid/ http://doughmesstic.com/2012/05/09/mothers-day-menu-with-kitchenaid/#comments Wed, 09 May 2012 13:00:00 +0000 doughmesstic http://doughmesstic.com/?p=7488

Until I had a child of my own, I really didn’t get it. Being a mom is HARD. Not that I don’t enjoy Seven, I do.  He’s a hoot.  But wow, no one ever told me how tiring it can be.  How even after they aren’t babies anymore, you STILL don’t get a solid night’s [...]]]> http://doughmesstic.com/2012/05/09/mothers-day-menu-with-kitchenaid/feed/ 216 http://doughmesstic.com/2012/05/08/national-moscato-day-with-gallo-family-vineyards/ http://doughmesstic.com/2012/05/08/national-moscato-day-with-gallo-family-vineyards/#comments Wed, 09 May 2012 02:24:45 +0000 doughmesstic http://doughmesstic.com/?p=7476

I love food and beverage holidays.  You probably realized that, as I celebrate many of them here on the blog throughout the year.  Blueberry Pie Day, National Cheesecake Day, Bloody Mary Day…and now, for the first year ever – National Moscato Day! Are you a wine drinker?  Have you tried Moscato?

Good morning!  Ready for your weekly dose of Popovers? (No, it’s not Thursday, but I am featuring Strawberry Mish-Mash Popovers today anyway. Surprise!) A few weeks ago I was contacted by Plum Organics, to see if I would be up for the challenge of creating a family (and kid, especially) friendly recipe featuring one of [...]]]> http://doughmesstic.com/2012/05/08/strawberry-mish-mash-popovers/feed/ 13 http://doughmesstic.com/2012/05/05/time-for-tea/ http://doughmesstic.com/2012/05/05/time-for-tea/#comments Sat, 05 May 2012 23:57:00 +0000 doughmesstic http://doughmesstic.com/?p=7459

For today’s post I was going to fill all of you in on the history of tea time.  How tea made its way to England, to become the national beverage of choice.  How late afternoon became the aristocratic time of day to eat a few cookies and sip a little Earl Grey.  How officially you [...]]]> http://doughmesstic.com/2012/05/05/time-for-tea/feed/ 1 http://doughmesstic.com/2012/05/03/tart-cherry-and-date-popovers/ http://doughmesstic.com/2012/05/03/tart-cherry-and-date-popovers/#comments Thu, 03 May 2012 14:00:12 +0000 doughmesstic http://doughmesstic.com/?p=7445

As I write this, it’s Tuesday night, and I SHOULD be packing for my trip to California.  I’m heading out to Monterey to see where my Dole Salad comes from…and as you can imagine, I can’t wait!! As for packing, alas, I can not possibly leave you all without a Popover Recipe.  You are expecting [...]]]> http://doughmesstic.com/2012/05/03/tart-cherry-and-date-popovers/feed/ 0
