Look out. I was recently asked by Captain Morgan’s Rum to join their Captain’s Table and create a few dishes using their incredible rums. I almost said no, you see…it’s been crazy here as of late, and shows no signs of slowing down. In fact, it could get so ugly here in a couple of […]
I adore Slow Cooker Cowboy Beans. However, I am still not a huge slow cooker gal. I’m not sure why…maybe it’s because I see the slow cooker as a tool for use if I’m not going to be hanging around the kitchen all day? (This scenario rarely occurs – I am ALWAYS here in the […]
Thanksgiving. It’s here. You are likely in the kitchen, already prepping your meal. Folks may even be over, you may have a kitchen full of family, toddlers underfoot, men wanting sandwiches before the bird has even been carved. But there are still holidays to prepare for, and turkey is one of those things that is […]
I’ve said it before and I will say it again…blogging has changed my life. Mostly for the better. In fact, other than being thrust into the public more than I am used to or even comfortable with (people scare me), everything about blogging has made my life better. Like this. I am headed to the […]
I can’t believe it has been three months since the S’mores Tour hit Vegas. Three months. The strangest part is, I remember wanting to write to you about it FROM Las Vegas, but knew I couldn’t since I had other stops to tell you about first. And now here I am, three months later. Wow […]
Remember last week when I told you Pillsbury asked me to make a recipe or two using their fabulous Crescent Rolls? And I said to stay tuned, as I had more ideas? Well…here is yet another. Bacon and Onion Crescent Rolls. So easy, and yet, so incredibly hard to put down. They’d be great to […]
Okay. Shoot me. I’ve used box mixes. There, I said it. But you see, sometimes, it’s just easier. Quicker. Ever-so-convenient. While I personally am fortunate enough to have a job that allows me all day to bake cakes and pies and Danish from scratch, not everyone is so lucky. And sometimes, those very people just […]
I am a huge fan of puff pastry. It’s got so many things going for it…sweet or savory, breakfast or dinner, appetizer, dessert, or main dish. Buttery and rich – there’s just nothing it can’t do. So imagine my delight when the folks at Pepperidge Farm® asked me to create a recipe that would be […]
I remember clearly, my days in elementary school. Every day my cousin and I would ride the bus to my grandmothers house, where we would race each other to the living room, each of us vying for the best seat in the house…the couch. Well, I always wanted the couch – he always wanted her […]
It’s not everyday Pillsbury asks you to create a recipe using one of their tried and true favorite products – Crescent Rolls. So when I got an email asking me just that, you know I said YES. Because hello? Someone at Pillsbury asked me to. Someone there knew my name. Eeek. Sure, we’ve used Crescent […]
Kids…I’m headed back to Las Vegas. That’s bizarre for me. You see, I was just there in August, as part of my cookbook tour, and I haven’t even gotten around to writing about that yet. Seriously, I have at least two posts to share with you about my time in Sin City…it was just too, […]
Let me tell you about the best weekend I have had in quite some time. I should have known it would be – the 2012 Greenwich Wine & Food Festival was amazing. So why would I think the 2013 festival would be any less impressive? It topped last year. First of all, I was there […]
