As a food blogger, I find myself in the kitchen a lot of the time, often making homemade pasta. It’s my space, where I go to work, to cook, to bake, to photograph. I spend time online there, searching Pinterest and other blogs for inspiration. Sometimes I watch television in there; I listen to my […]
Are you sticking to your New Year’s Resolution? It’s hard, I know. I read that most people don’t even make it to March before giving up. Not surprising… I still haven’t started mine, but I’m always a little late to the game. That’s all about to change. First things first, I need to start being […]
Homemade Vegetable Beef Soup. I ate this soup. In fact, I ate a LOT of this soup. As most of you reading this were in the same boat as I, last week was a torrent of winter weather. Snow was forecasted, kids came home early from school, spouses were home in advance of the impending […]
Weeknight dinners. You know the ones. The nights when the thought of having to make anything at all, other than a phone call to the local pizza joint, is just about more than you can bear. That’s like, almost every single day for me. And here you thought food bloggers loved cooking. Cook cook cook, […]
Don’t be sad. A Blue Valentine Mojito does not necessarily mean SAD. A Blue Valentine can be a great thing. Not like the movie Blue Valentine, which I still haven’t decided if I love or hate. It pains me to see Ryan Gosling looking like, well, a normal man, with a receding hairline and glasses. […]
Need some lovely inspiration for Lover’s Day? Look no more. Here are a few that I think will really float your boat. Sweet, rich, delicious…how we like our mates, right? There are oodles and oodles here, on the Dixie Crystals Valentine Round Up, and these are my favorites. Which would YOU make? Chocolate Mousse with […]
Red Velvet Mug Cakes should be on your list. I bet you couldn’t guess it’s February, could you? I mean, look around the internet. Can you blink without seeing a new Red Velvet concoction? I know I can’t. And, just like that new Miley song on the radio that you hate at first, the more […]
S’mores. You knew it was coming, didn’t you? I mean, here it is, February 2014 already, and I have only mentioned S’mores ONCE since the beginning of the year. And I wrote the S’mores Cookbook. Of course it was coming. S’mores will ALWAYS be COMING. So when I learned that TruMoo had a new product […]
We are known for being huge tailgaters. I am female. Jon is…not. What this means is – he thinks a meal of meat and meat alone is a meal. I think we need to have cookies or brownies or, heck, even a SALAD to go with all of the carnivore action. Right? Just meat? No. […]
Seriously, this one’s fun. Funn-y, anyway. As you are likely aware, I get asked to create lots of recipes for lots of companies. (I know, it shocks ME, too!) Sometimes it’s a drink, sometimes a snack, sometimes a dessert. But get this…Hillshire Farms asked me a week ago if I’d be willing to make something […]
Is that a strange blog post title? So be it. Life is strange for all of us, in one way or another, and today is my day to be strange on the internet. It seems the biggest part of the country has seen bitter cold, snow, ice, and all sorts of winter weather in the […]
3 days from now? It’s the Official Backwards Day. Yep, January 31 is Backwards Day, and Bisquick invited me and a couple other fun bloggers to host a Backwards Day Brinner Bash to celebrate. You may recall that last week I made you the most incredible Inside Out Crepe Omelets (yum!), which are very much […]
