I had big intentions today to make those muffins. Really, I did. But for some reason I decided to make something else, some Galettes. I even sent Jon to the store to buy the things I needed, but overlooked an ingredient, so the galettes were nixed, too. But I had been looking at a gingersnap […]
I saw this recipe for the Parrot Bay Coconut Shrimp at recipezaar.com the other day and knew I wanted to try it, mostly because we LOVE the pina colada dip. True to the original, this recipe rocks in the dip department. excellent. If we owned a deep fryer this recipe would have been better, as […]
Indeed. I knew what was coming today, and waited (im)patiently until it arrived…my Mother’s Day present. A new Professional KitchenAid Stand Mixer…Chrome, 5 quart, attachments…heaven.

Sev got me up a little early yesterday morning, so, because of that, I was able to get the house a little picked up. That is where the story begins. Apparantly, I can’t handle a clean kitchen, so I took it upon myself to whip up a batch of brownies. This was my first attempt […]
