I imagine we ALL say it. Before we have kids, we know what kind of parents we will be. My kids won’t run wild in Wal-Mart. My child will only watch 30 minutes of TV a day. My son will be potty trained by the time he’s 2. My daughter will eat whatever I give […]
Browned Butter Brownies may be my new favorite thing. The rich, nutty flavor the browned butter adds takes an already incredible chocolate treat and turns it into magic! These brownies were inspired by the brownies featured on the cover of February’s Bon Appétit Magazine (which I also made, and they will be appearing on Culinary […]
Throughout the year, several Blogging Conferences take place that I intend to attend. These events can be wonderful opportunities for your company to be represented in a more personal, appealing way than a print or other commercial advertisement. I will, from time to time, accept sponsorships for these events, in which I will represent a […]
One of my favorite parts of Christmas is the stocking. I don’t know why, exactly, but it is. Maybe it’s because it’s a bunch of little things, all in one present, no wrapping paper to discard, no mess to clean up. Just a bundle of goodness at my fingertips. Growing up, I had, and […]
Need some more gift ideas? Look no farther. I’ve done some of the work for you – using the colors of the rainbow. (Yeah, I know, there is a difference between blue & indigo, but just go with it.) Some of these things I already own (The Kitchenaid Mixer and the Le Creuset Dutch Oven, […]
Have you gotten involved with Kitchen Play yet? No? What are you waiting for? I was thrilled to get the message from Casey (mastermind of Kitchen Play as well as Tastestopping) that I would be participating in the Holiday edition of the Progressive Dinner Party. I was a little nervous, to be honest, because all […]
Turkey. Cheese. Bacon. Bread. Cheese sauce. Starch…That’s the Kentucky Hot Brown. Carbs. It’s what’s for dinner. Well, dinner, or lunch. Or even breakfast in my case. But be afraid. Be very afraid. If you consume this masterpiece at breakfast – your day is shot. Not shot as in “I ate a Hot Pocket for breakfast” […]
In case you missed my post from yesterday, Kentucky Dirty Bourbon Pie is my son’s name for this incredible dessert. Why not just call it Derby Pie, like the rest of the country, you ask? Well, while you can SAY Derby Pie all you want, out loud, in conversation, you can’t actually NAME your dessert […]
Seven is now 3 years and 2 months old. That means I have changed, oh, 2000 diapers? At least? I have you know, I am growing tired of it. He is so advanced in so many ways…his language is astounding, he talks in conversational form, he has an incredible vocabulary. He has great coordination, and […]
A couple of weeks ago, I was asked to come to Oregon to take a tour of a working egg farm, along with 8 other bloggers. We were joined by a few folks from the American Egg Board, Food Nutritionist Mary Donkersloot, Howard Helmer, The World’s Fastest Omelet Maker, and Food Network and the […]
People should get medals for surviving high school. In high school, I was never the pretty one. I was the smart one. The Smart One sits on the bleachers and watches her friends cheer for their quarterback boyfriends. She sits against the wall at the Homecoming Dance, pretending not to mind that she has no […]
It seems no matter where you turn, you are faced with another zucchini recipe. It’s the time of year – everyone is passing out zucchini to their neighbors left and right. But I’ll guarantee you, three months from now, those same folks who are squalling “I hope I never see another zucchini in my […]
