I’ve just not been in the mood to bake lately. Or cook. That’s not good in my line of work…as a food blogger. I need to cook or bake in order to have something to post about. Otherwise, well, I’ll just be here running on and on about Pitch Perfect or what I had to […]
Stuffed Chicken Breast. Why do I not do this more often? Why don’t I just stop, and think, and remember…stuffed chicken breast is easy, it’s quick, it’s delicious. I always seems to forget those facts. It took being contacted by Old El Paso to make me put on my thinking cap, and come up with […]
I’ve been thinking about lots of things lately. Food, of course, has been on my brain. The S’mores cookbook especially, as I am in a week of design edits and scrambling to get it all done while still keeping you folks entertained. Friends, old ones, new ones. Acca-awesome ones…they’ve been on my mind. I have […]
A Day, devoted to Chocolate Mousse. That’s got to be a good day, right? Well, that day is TOMORROW, April 3rd. Whippy, light, chocolate. Rich, decadent, hitcha-where-you-need-it. Chocolate Mousse. Now, I would love to be eating something right now, made of chocolate mousse. But you know what? I’ve been busy. Busy with S’mores book edits, […]
I do not like basketball. There are lots of reasons, but I’ll list, oh, three. Three is a good, round number. 1. The uniforms. They’re baggy, they’re shiny, and they are nothing like what the players in the 1970s wore. Now THAT was a sport, keeping those tiny little shorts from riding up while running […]
I don’t know about y’all, but this snow? Enough already. I mean, it’s almost April, and there’s been snow on the ground here for a week. I’m over it, I want to wear a sundress, and I’m even willing to shave in order to do it. Yes, really. That’s a big deal for me. Let’s […]
I’ve been on a cheesecake tare as of late. I can’t help it…I just love them. These cheesecakes? Perfection. The ideal size for single servings (that means too small to share, and you are full on allowed to fork stab anyone brazen enough who tried snagging a bite), great creamy flavor and texture, and […]
I do love the Four Seasons Hotels. The Four Seasons Miami is no different. I get to travel a lot. I bet you’ve noticed. My Skymiles Account has noticed. My suitcase has noticed. They know me by site at my local airport. They know I don’t have an underwire. They know I like tall boots. […]
I love caramel apples. I hate how messy they make my face, as apparently I never fine tuned the art of eating an apple on a stick, but still…totally worth the drippy face. Of course, I love anything caramel, hot, cold, soft, chewy – makes no difference, I want it. And combined with apples and […]
Do you remember when I went to Los Angeles last year to live blog the Dole California Cook Off? I do. It was so much fun. Crazy amounts of fun. And not just for me – the contestants were the ones having the time of their lives. Last year, 3 finalists got their grill on […]
A Weekend in Washington DC Five years ago, right after my son Seven was born, I remember being at a Brad Paisley concert, carrying my full sized Canon DSLR. It was bizarre to me that people down in the pit, or in the high dollar seats were carrying a silly little flip phone to take […]
I’ve been thinking of these for quite some time now… Banana Pudding Cheesecakes. When my friends at McCormick asked me to come up with a brunch worthy recipe using their great vanilla and almond extracts, I knew this would be the way to go. It just had to be done. So thanks, McCormick, for sponsoring […]
