Ahhh, summer. Lazy, sunny, sweat pouring from every square inch of me summer. I nearly died just picking these berries in the backyard. It’s at least 116 degrees. Okay. Maybe not 116. And maybe I shouldn’t complain so much, as I did just have to step off my patio and up into the […]
That’s right. The Hub. He thinks I spend a lot of time on here…so, I thought it would be good for him to guest post. You know, to see what the draw is. Could be it will backfire – he may hate it. But hopefully, he’ll find the community, the support, and the friendship […]
Before I started this transformation into FoodBlog World, I used to have more money. I used to have a job. I used to be able to shop. And on occasion, when I would shop, I would be at TJ Maxx and I would pick up a cookbook. Not one that I intended to actually COOK […]
Or is it dumplin’s? I never actually say the g, so I guess it must be dumplin’s. No matter how you say it though, it’s good. It’s been so freaking cold lately(what’s with that?), so I wanted something that would stick to our bones, and this recipe really fits the bill. I first got it […]
Droolry Box is a new feature I am adding to the DoughMessTic site. I find myself lost online sometimes, “windows” shopping I guess you could call it, and I often forget what it was I spent all that time drooling over. Thus, the Droolry Box was born. I hope to feature some of the things […]
I haven’t posted any of my recent cakes, and this week I have 5 more due…so it’s been BUSY! I thought since so many of you seem to get a little kick out of seeing them, I would post a few. A Modern Art Cake with Pulled Sugar Flames, A Basketball Jersey featuring the boys […]
Seriously, hurry. Click this link to Shop the KitchenAid Store. Why? Because, for TODAY ONLY – they are offering either the Pink or the Empire Red 9 Speed Handmixer – normally $89 – for a mere $39. $39!! I just bought the pink. Merry Christmas to ME. Tell me which one you got. Okay?
Two and a half days into the Eat on $30 Challenge and we are doing just fine. Perhaps it’s the fact that we haven’t been eating from the Mastering the Art of French Cooking Book. Perhaps it’s because I have been beyond sick. Perhaps it’s because we really don’t spend that much money on food […]
Today is Tuesday. Tuesday is supposed to mean a recipe from Dorie Greenspan. Todays choice was an amazing one, in fact, I have had this Chocolate Caramel Tart marked since I bought the book well over a year ago. Unfortunately, too much has been going on here this week for me to make it. Jon, […]
I now know my limits, I think. This weekend, I had the task of creating 3 cakes, plus catering a soup & sandwich type of event for 40 people. Keep in mind I do this out of my own kitchen, not a restaurant. I have but one oven. One refrigerator. It’s tough! Add to that […]
I love Stationary. Don’t ask me why, I just do. Perhaps I belong in the 1930s, writing detailed accounts of life on struggling plantation to my Husband, who is off in the city working a meaningless job to make our ends meet until the crops can come in. (You know, kinda like Mel Gibson did […]
So I lied. I have had no time at all this weekend to dream up some fabulous recipe for you. Maybe this week? Hang in there, will you…I am closing in on the final week of the Pantry Raid, I’ve had friends and family in, I had a huge Yard Sale and then a golf […]
