Soon, very soon, I hope, I am going to fill you in on what’s been going on here this summer. You see, I decided this spring that I needed a vacation house. Now wait! Don’t run off, thinking I’m too big for my britches and have money oozing from every pore. That’s not the case. […]
My job is a fun job. One of my jobs this summer was to open up a couple of bags of Peeps…and eat them. So challenging, I know! I almost couldn’t handle the stress. It was truly touch and go for a few minutes…but then I got the bag open and everything was fine. I’m […]
Deep Fried Cookie Dough Oreos. Okay, I know. Believe me…I KNOW. Cookie dough. Good. Very good. Oreos. Of course they are good. Double Stuff? Even better. Deep fried anything? Sign me up. But Deep Fried Cookie Dough, mounded onto a Double Stuffed Oreo? Sweet heavens. My Introduction to Deep Fried Cookie Dough Oreos A couple […]
This may not be the first thing you want to read on a MONDAY…but SLEEP. Sleep, sleep, sleep. You want a nap now, don’t you? I bet you do. It’s cold out, probably raining or snowing wherever you are (of course!), and after too short of a weekend, you would just like to call it […]
Did you know that next week – January 31st, to be exact – is the Official Backwards Day? You can stand on your head, read the end of a book first, wear your clothes inside out (that’s why I do it, ahem…of course, I don’t accidentally wear a tee shirt all day inside out), or, […]
I love New York City. Love it. Every time I go, I feel at home. The towering skyscrapers, the shopping, the city streets, the bakeries, the taxies, the fantastic restaurants, the hotels. Ahh, the hotels. I fell head over heels for the Waldorf Astoria in August when I came through town for my book tour. […]
I am not a mixologist. To be honest with you, I am not even very good at drinking. Alcohol and I are not the best of friends, which means – Hello, My Name Is Designated Driver. It’s okay, I don’t mind. Someone needs to do it, and if it’s me, it’s me. That way I […]
I cannot fathom that my S’mores Cookbook has been out for oh, almost two months. Two months! I swear it seems I was JUST at The Bank celebrating the launch, but alas…time flies. I’ve had such a great time on my book tour, flitting from Boston, to New York, Vegas, LA, Seattle…and trust me, I […]
I get to eat at a lot of amazing restaurants. Like, a LOT of amazing restaurants. I know, I’m lucky just to get to take a bite of cuisines like these, but I honestly, like most food bloggers, find an inspiration out of something I order. Take for example Austin. One of the restaurants I […]
S’more s’mores on the blog today. Good times, right? I think so. Today you’ll meet Sara of Cook With 5 Kids, who stepped up and offered to post for me. What a sweetheart! I love that she still has enough patience to let her kids in the kitchen…that says a LOT! Though – how she […]
It’s kind of overwhelming, to say the least. So much went in to this book – so many friends helping, so many hours working, so many s’mores consumed! (All that eating? It was difficult, I tell you.) But now it’s here! Last week two big boxes of hard-backed books showed up at my door. Sure, […]
Well, if you follow me on Twitter or Facebook, you may know that I’m away. Like, away away. California Away. Yep, as you read this, I am most likely in Santa Monica, sea breeze in my not-so-great-looking-windblown hair, getting a little sunburn across the tops of my shoulders and 3 random spots on my face.
