A friend recently sent me a hush-hush recipe for Gingerbread Beignets from Disneyland. They sounded so phenomenal, I had to try them. HAD to. But you see, the recipe wasn’t really ready yet. It was strange. Missing a few parts. Incomplete. It was a big fat fail. But I couldn’t tolerate NOT making beignets after […]

During a wild raid of Trader Joe’s in Atlanta during BlogHer Food, I found Pretzel Buns. I bought two bags, and we consumed every last one. There’s just something about that dark skinned, salty bread, so chewy and delicious. I’ve been craving them ever since. Alas, We have no Trader Joe’s here, so I have […]

Mississippi Mud Brownies. Good heavens. Look at that gooieness. Or is it gooeyness? I can’t leave anything alone. That’s my problem. If something has 9000 calories in it, I find a way to make it richer, denser, fatter. I’m a freakshow like that. Take these brownies, for example. They are BROWNIES. Brownies are great on […]
As if eating yeasty, carbohydrate filled doughnuts weren’t bad enough on their own, you’d better sit down for this. Butter Fried Doughnut Skewers. When Jon and I first moved in together oh so many years ago, one night he pulled out a stick of butter and some day-old Krispy Kremes and set out to fry […]
Earlier this week there was a huge convention in Chicago. ..The International Housewares Show 2011. Perhaps you heard about it? Of course you did. You’re a food and cooking nut, just like me. You definitely heard about it. Did you get to go? I didn’t. How sad! But, I did take note of everything drool […]
When I think of kid friendly foods, stuffed peppers aren’t the first place my mind takes off to. In fact, my mind doesn’t go there at all.
