Salted Caramel Brownies. Or, I guess you could call them Fleur de Sel Caramel Brownies, in case you want to serve them at a fancy dinner party. Everyone knows that you can get away with serving anything at a fancy dinner party if you name it something French. Francais. Whatever. Talk about rich…these are […]
Several of you ask for these, so why not? If cakes aren’t your thing, just scoot on by and go enter the KitchenAid Giveaway. If cakes ARE your thing, here are a few I have done recently. I need to be more diligent about photographing them, but truthfully? I am lazy. And by the […]
I hope you have a LOT of them. Not just because it’s nice to have people to share things with, but, well, because it’s REALLY nice to have people to share things with! This is the BIG Giveaway I have been hinting at for weeks…not ONE KitchenAid 5 Quart Stand Mixer…but TWO. Want to know […]
I don’t even know what that means. Did you know I got my degree in Art History? I did. Art History and English. Don’t ask. It’s a real degree, though. (Ignore my husband’s whispering behind my back. He can suck it.) Anyway, as a type of Artist, I feel like I have the right […]
I get asked to review LOTS of things. LOTS. And I almost let this one slip right on by without even trying it myself. You see, Progresso and MyBlogSpark set me up with a nice package of the new Progresso Reduced Calorie Soups and told me about a great contest they have going on for […]
Yeah, it’s what’s for breakfast. It’s my personal belief that one cannot get enough chocolate in one’s diet without eating some for every meal. And in case you feel the same, here’s a simple and delicious way to accomplish your dietary goals….chocolate covered chocolate doughnuts. When I used to live in the commune house (sorry […]

On Saturday, I had my first experience teaching a group of fine ladies a little bit about cake decorating. For those of you who actually decorate for a living, you know that the learning really comes from DOING (over, and over, and OVER) but a nice introductory course is a great way to get […]
Sometimes the simplest things can really hit the spot. Take these cupcakes, for example. I don’t always feel like making a batch of cupcakes from scratch, but I still want the great flavor. The secret to making a box mix cupcake taste fabulous is the way you dress it up. I don’t mean how it […]
In the midst of all this snowing, I took myself to Walmart. It had to be done – I needed supplies. Like, 160 ounces of Cream Cheese, for example. Yes, I needed it. I mean, you don’t think I would just go to Walmart and buy 10 pounds of random dairy product, do you? So […]
We eat a lot of pasta around here. I’d like to say it is because my husband is from an Italian family, and, well, it’s genetic, but really? We just love carbs in general. Macaroni, Tortellini, Gnocchi, Lasagna…we could eat it for just about every meal. Seven practically does. He’s two…he can handle the caloric […]
