I’m sorry, you guys. I couldn’t resist. 50 Shades of Grey has infiltrated my life, and now everyone – that means you – must suffer. I have many, many thoughts on this trilogy- 50 Shades of Grey, 50 Shades Darker, 50 Shades Freed…some of which it’s likely best I keep to myself. But who am […]
I can’t believe I’ve waited THIS long to make these popovers. Banana. Split. Popovers. Throughout the years, I have been a banana split fanatic. When others were buying up Blizzards and Peanut Buster Parfaits, I stuck to the tried and true Banana Split. What is it about the convergence of bananas, sweet strawberries, chocolate, pineapple, […]
I’m really not even sure what to say. My cookbook is officially out. As in, available to purchase on Amazon, at Barnes & Noble, at Books-a-Million – pretty much any bookstore. MY cookbook. In stores. Bizarro-World. So, I thought a little celebration was in order. What better way to celebrate than with a little drink […]
Mouthful, isn’t it? You have no idea. If you’ve not introduced yourself to Kerrygold yet, I’m here to tell you…It’s about time you did. First off, their Dubliner is just about my favorite cheese ever. Ever. It’s rich and yet unassuming. It is amazing grated in to macaroni and cheese, scalloped potatoes, or a simple […]
Until I had a child of my own, I really didn’t get it. Being a mom is HARD. Not that I don’t enjoy Seven, I do. He’s a hoot. But wow, no one ever told me how tiring it can be. How even after they aren’t babies anymore, you STILL don’t get a solid night’s […]
I love food and beverage holidays. You probably realized that, as I celebrate many of them here on the blog throughout the year. Blueberry Pie Day, National Cheesecake Day, Bloody Mary Day…and now, for the first year ever – National Moscato Day! Are you a wine drinker? Have you tried Moscato? The Gallo Family Vineyards […]
Good morning! Ready for your weekly dose of Popovers? (No, it’s not Thursday, but I am featuring Strawberry Mish-Mash Popovers today anyway. Surprise!) A few weeks ago I was contacted by Plum Organics, to see if I would be up for the challenge of creating a family (and kid, especially) friendly recipe featuring one of […]
For today’s post I was going to fill all of you in on the history of tea time. How tea made its way to England, to become the national beverage of choice. How late afternoon became the aristocratic time of day to eat a few cookies and sip a little Earl Grey. How officially you […]
As I write this, it’s Tuesday night, and I SHOULD be packing for my trip to California. I’m heading out to Monterey to see where my Dole Salad comes from…and as you can imagine, I can’t wait!! As for packing, alas, I can not possibly leave you all without a Popover Recipe. You are expecting […]
Did you know that May 2nd is National Truffle Day? It is! And lucky for all of you, I pulled this beauty from the archives. Back before anyone had ever heard of me, my friend Carrie from Fields of Cake was sweet enough (literally) to guest post for me. Back then, I was lucky to […]
Buffalo Chicken Cupcakes? Am I joking? No, I assure you, I am not. Buffalo Chicken Cupcakes, or rather, Buffalo Chicken Rolls, or, Buffalo Chicken Pizza Roll Ups, Or Buffalo Chicken Heaven…it’s all the same deliciousness. Buffalo Chicken Cupcakes are a very real thing. In case you didn’t know it, I used to live in a […]
You know what tastes good? Chocolate. And lots of it. I’ll be the first one to tell you, I am not a chocolate snob. Now, don’t get me wrong, I don’t really care for the cheapity cheap Easter or Halloween candy that costs 88 cents for 15 pounds, but I’ll eat it. I’m a girl, […]
