Some recipes are just too easy. You may not know it yet, but you will. And this recipe is one of them. Blueberry Cheesecake Pastry Squares. I adore cheesecake. New York Style, tall as heaven, thick and creamy and tang tang tangy. But that kind of cheesecake takes me over 6 hours to bake (my […]
Do who you have a hero? I guess in some way, we all do. Maybe it’s your spouse, who works without complaint, every day outdoors in the awful heat or frigid cold, because he knows your family not just needs the money, but because he wants to give you a better life. Who gives up […]
Do you ever surprise yourself with your own creativity? Me either. But, one fine day, Jon called home and begged me to make a “yummy pasta salad.” And I was like, Heck no, I only want to make a nasty pasta salad. Because that’s how I roll. Yucktastic is where it’s at. I kid, I […]
I don’t often tell you about all of them here, but if you follow e on Twitter, you know I go to a lot of conferences. A lot. I go as an ambassador on occasion, or a speaker, or just as an attendee. Heck, I even host one myself. Typically though, my conferences are all […]
I know blogging is my job. Developing recipes…it’s what I do. Somedays, it’s a chore. An ACTUAL job. Yes, I can do it in my pajamas and an apron, but still, it’s a job. And then there are days like this one, when I get to work with a company I already adore. A company […]

German Chocolate Pie. Yep, that’s what I meant. My Aunt Sylvia? She makes the best German Chocolate Cake. Every year for Thanksgiving, I count on a big slice of it…hands down, she’s got this cake thing in the bag. Chocolate. Thick, rich, coconutttttty. German Chocolate Cake. Today just so happens to be National German Chocolate […]
Yes, you read that correctly. Dreamsicle Popovers, and you can totally make them, too. You may or may not recall my affinity for the popover. A cross between a souffle and french toast, perhaps? Silly easy to make, and soooo dreamy. (See what I did there? Dreamy. I’m a writer, you guys. A WRY-TER.) Take […]
Today, my friends, is National Strawberry Rhubarb Day. True story. Until I started blogging, I had never knowingly eaten rhubarb. But then, one Tuesday, I was challenged with making a Cherry Rhubarb Buckle, and the love affair began. So crisp. So tart. Plays so well with others. Yes, I adore rhubarb now. The love affair […]
I hope you caught my first post about my Tiny House in the woods, but if not – here it is. Go catch up! This little gem (truly, a gem to me) has gotten better each and every week. It was just about this time last year that the support flooring was done…I remember quite […]
As you may know, if you’ve ever been here before, I live in a small town. Nobody knows me, really – thank goodness – as I am a hermit. Hello? I work on the internet. I do this for a reason. You all don’t care if I brush my hair before I tweet…you see the […]
