It’s Popover Thursday time! As I type this, my belly is full of a delicious dinner I just ate at our hotel – The Hard Rock Resort Orlando. We ate at The Kitchen, which looks high class, tastes high class, but is so affordable and family friendly. We sat in one of those giant horseshoe […]
Happy Pi Day, readers! I’m sure you’ll see an abundance of great looking pies on the web today, and even though I am officially on vacation, I wanted to make sure you had one from me, too. I LOVE making pies in jars. Let me tell you why: Number 1 – I suck at crust. […]
Good morning, Dear Readers! As you may recall, I am on VACATION! While I am standing in the Florida heat, waiting to ride my umpteenth Teacup, YOU are sitting in cool comfort, about to indulge in a sweet guest post from my blogger friend Shari of Tickled Red. I had the pleasure of meeting Shari […]
For one of the first times in recent history, I don’t feel absolutely broke. Sure, I am still broke, but…well, it isn’t dire, despite my kitchen reno process. Thanks to being a food blogger, I get lots of foods and products sent to me to review, and I honestly don’t have to go out to […]
Guess who’s still without a functioning oven? Moi. No, I’m not French. I’m too fat to be French. I do use Le Creuset, though, if that counts for anything. But seriously, it’s beginning to get to me, this ovenless kitchen. I’m finding it difficult to get excited about new recipes, as it’s impossible to bring […]
You may have gathered we like to travel. I especially love traveling with Seven, as I feel like I am doing something good, exposing him to new things, new places, new foods. He loves hotels (as do I), and he’s a very good passenger. On Friday, we are leaving for Florida. That’s a loooong way. […]
Today is the official day of White Chocolate Cheesecake. Did you know that? Well, it is. But if you are just now reading this, you may very well have missed your cheesecake baking opportunity. Never fear, dear reader…I’ve got you covered. As I mentioned in another post, I’ve been developing some recipes for Nestle using […]
It’s getting close to St. Patrick’s Day, so you know what that means… Every blog is going green, or Irish Cream. Me, I am taking the Irish Cream route this go round, with an Irish Cream infused Dark Chocolate Chip Cookie. I also went big – these cookies are the size you buy at the […]
A series of events led to these morsels of yumminess… Cocoa Caramel Bliss Popovers. Number one – you know I am well into my year of Popovers, and I must keep creating new ones, week after week. I do have 52 to do, after all. Number two – thanks to the suicide of my oven, […]
Do you follow me on Foursquare? Twitter? Instagram? If you do, you may recall that I took an extended weekend trip to Boston a couple of weeks ago. Other than passing through back in 2009, I had never been there, but wanted to. The timing was fortuitous – we had some vouchers for tickets on […]
You know me – I am a Stay at Home Mom. I sit around the house all day, eating bonbons and watching Oprah. That is, when I am not napping, reading a novel, or gazing longingly out the window as the clouds roll by. Therefore, I am never in a weeknight time crunch…I have all […]
I think this is a quandary many homes have. You have a guest bath, out in the hall. It’s also the bathroom your kids use. So what do you do? Do you decorate it all adult-like, to be more appealing to your guests, or do you go the kid route, and hope your guests understand […]
