You don’t have to tell me – I KNOW. I know I am lucky. I get amazing opportunities, I know fantastic people, I work with incredible companies. Take Dole, for example. I love the relationships I have made with the brand, from the great PR team that I consider to be friends (hey Jess and […]
Okay, okay…I wrote the first part of this wrap up over two weeks ago, swearing I would write the rest of it the VERY NEXT DAY. I meant I would write it today. or something like that. You see, I got lazy, or busy, or lazy. It happens. But honest, I didn’t mean to let […]
This post is mostly for me. To remember. To reflect. To remind myself I have it good…and I do. I really do. It’s just hard to remember the good when you are so caught up in the day to day of work and life. I know I wrote a post at the beginning of the […]
Are you ready to ring in the New Year? Are you going out? Staying in? Heading over to a friend’s place for an evening of debauchery? (Okay, so maybe your friends aren’t like MY friends. We’re all in this together, though, folks.) No matter – you’ll need to have some Auld Lang Syne worthy concoctions […]
S’mores. You knew I’d have to sneak in last S’mores post before the end of the year. I couldn’t help it! It was this time last year that I was eyeball deep in s’mores creating for the upcoming cookbook – and here we are, one year later – and I’ve been on a s’mores journey […]
Okay, for the past few months I have been working closely with Arm & Hammer, reviewing a few of their products, sampling a few goodies, and of course, using their famous baking soda in my baked goods. Sure, I also have a box sitting in my fridge, absorbing odors. Everyone knows you should so this. […]
I don’t know about you, but I love kitchen gadgets. I have everything – multiples of things, in fact, likely the same things you have multiples of. Of course, every gadget doesn’t make the cut…some just plain are too bulky, or too cheaply made, or just don’t make sense to keep in the long run. […]
I know…whaaaat? But yes. Deep Fried Poached Eggs. Imagine the ways you could use these. In a sandwich. On a burger. In the most creative Eggs Benedict ever. Atop pasta, or a bowl of cheesy grits, as I’ve done here. There’s just no way in which deep fried poached eggs won’t be a game changer. […]
Have you even done a search for holiday cookies recently? Don’t. Just, don’t. It’s overwhelming, and you’ll likely find yourself immersed in sugary concoctions on Pinterest, which will start with gingerbread cookies, then ginger recipes, then red hair shades, then you’ll drive 3 hours to have colorful stripes put into your hair because Pinterest thought […]
More eggnog. More dessert. More rum. Welcome to the holidays. There are a lot of desserts that have already been eaten, and plenty of desserts yet to be consumed. This Rum Eggnog Cheesecake should be one of those things. Yes, you can make this in a standard springform pan, as the recipe is written, but […]
You read that right. Bacon and Coffee. Cookies. I mean, if you think about it, this is practically a well rounded breakfast. Bacon (okay, well, bacon grease), eggs (all chocolate chip cookies need eggs, of course), and then Maxwell House® Coffee? Yep, totally acceptable Breakfast Cookie. You’re welcome. Thanks Kraft and Maxwell House for the […]
This post is rum and holiday overload. That’s in part thanks to Captain Morgan, who sponsored this post as part of the Captain’s Table. I’m enjoying being at THIS table, let me assure you. There are plenty of holiday parties to go around still, so load up on the rum and get to celebrating…I guarantee […]
