I have one. A Salad’tude, that is. (I have an attitude as well, but we won’t dwell on that. And, in the off chance you are reading this – Blogger Who Called Said “My You Have a Dry Sense Of Humor” To Me In Florida – please pipe up and say it was you. For […]
I was going for a play on words there. You know, Cookies and Cream? Okay, maybe it was funnier in my head. That doesn’t surprise me. A week or two ago I wrote about what dreams of mine were coming true…namely, the publication of my first cookbook. It was several months of recipes testing, writing, […]
I’ve done it this time, y’all. You obviously know I love popovers. I AM making 52 different versions this year, after all. But I also adore cheesecake. Thick, creamy, never ricotta-y cheesecake. So why not combine the two? Cheesecake Popovers? Yes, please. Of all the popovers I have made thus far, if these aren’t my […]
I’ve been dreaming of these brownies for a long, long, lonnnng time. I had the idea for them about two days before my oven decided his time was up and thusly chose to leave this cruel, cruel world. I swear it happened the day after I started measuring him for his replacement. 6 weeks ago. […]
I’m back with yet another Red Star Recipe! Remember how I said it has made all the difference in my yeast baking? Yeah, I haven’t changed my mind! It still works its magic on everything from danish to rolls, and pizza to…doughnuts. Yeasty, sweet, oh-my-Lord-Help-Me Doughnuts. What’s better than fried bread and air? Fried bread […]
Happy weekend friends! I hope you have grand plans to do something fantastic. Or at least sleep in. If you happen to be looking for a craft or project to get into though, look no further. I have a birdhouse that I think you’ll really like! In case you didn’t get the memo, I am […]
Remodeling a kitchen is expensive, you guys. Even with the deals I am getting on many things (thank heavens), it’s still a lot of cash. So, if I can save a little money on clothes (ha, I don’t buy any), gas, or food, believe me, I DO it. Lucky for me, I was approached by […]
Gosh, I love popovers. And coconut. And chocolate. I would like to go on record and say I am beyond joyous that I can tolerate gluten. You hear about it everywhere these days – Celiac, gluten intolerance – what on Earth? I don’t remember anyone ever being gluten intolerant when I was growing up. For […]
Or, in other words, what you write about if you are me. For the past month I have made things in a toaster oven, a crock pot, or on a griddle. Or I have gone to my mother’s house and hijacked her oven. None of these options are ideal. But in the end, this kitchen […]
Every yeast is not created equally. I can’t believe I just typed that. It’s so…snobbish. But it’s true. Just like every flour company is different, ever sugar is different – yes, even yeast is different. I never really thought about it…I just assumed that yeast is yeast. Wrong. Breads and yeasted foods are tough for […]
Not kidding…these are ridiculous. Imagine the softest, richest, droolworthiest chocolate chip cookie you’ve ever had. Multiply that by 17. Or 42. These are that good. Why didn’t I think of it before? Why did it take not having a working oven in my house to realize the potential of the simplest, most comforting food? (Hey, […]
Do you have this goal…this grandiose (or maybe not so grandiose) goal that’s been there in the back of your mind? The goal that’s been nagging at you, waiting for you to bring it to fruition? I think we all have something haunting us like that. When I started this blog, I really didn’t have […]
