Are you a Homegoods shopper? I know I am!! I have a bit of an obsession with it- every time I step foot inside, I find myself need need needing things. You know, random plates and silverware for blog photos, new table linens to jazz up the shots of lasagna (and of course I need […]

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. But because of a happy accident, that’s exactly what these stuffed peppers turned into…Kid Friendly. During the summer, we garden, and typically have a bounty of fresh peppers. […]

It seems every weekend involves time in the kitchen as a family. We tend to sleep in around here, though, so getting out of bed early to whip up a full biscuits to bacon breakfast isn’t always in the cards. I’ll often make popovers, which are our favorite quick and easy go to meal. Sometimes […]
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 […]
