Red Velvet Cheesecake Brownies. What a mouthful. My sister loves red velvet. Me, I never cared for it. I’m not sure why – it’s basically chocolate, gussied up with a little food coloring to make it prettier. Whose idea was that? I mean, the adding of the food coloring? It serves no real purpose really, […]
Yesterday was surreal, in lots of ways. Some things, I can’t even begin to tell you. Some things, I CAN. Take, for example, Brandi came up for a bit and hung out. That’s not the surreal part. The surreal part is our discussion of our upcoming cookbooks…and how they are now on Amazon, available for […]
It’s now officially Week Three of my Popover Project. So far this year, I’ve tackled Cinnamon Roll Popovers, and Elvis Lovin’ Peanut Butter and Banana Popovers. This week, I paired the citrusy orange and tart red raspberry together to create a very flavorful and pleasing popover. Pretty colors, too. I AM a girl, after all. […]
I keep seeing everyone tweeting about Girl Scout Cookies. I guess it’s about that time for the orders to go in? My family is full of boys…no young girls are out and about peddling Samoas, Thin Mints, or Do-Si-Dos. Sad, isn’t it? Not a soul has asked me to buy a box of anything. Heck, […]
Did you know I grew up in West Virginia? I did. I lived in the middle of the country, surrounded by trees and fields and family. My friends were my cousins. Our county borders Virginia, and if history serves me correctly, our county actually took sides with the South during the War Between the States. […]
It would seem The King had a reputation for liking fried peanut butter and banana sandwiches. Seems everyone knows this…why, I’m not sure. Maybe we are all filled with some sort of trivial knowledge about Elvis. Like, why do I know his birthday is in January? (It was this past Sunday, by the way.) Why […]
It took me a while to realize that dark chocolate had it’s merits. But it does. Somehow, I woke up one day to find myself choosing dark chocolate chips versus milk chocolate when making cookies. Don’t ask me how it happened. What I do know is that today, January 10th is National Bittersweet Chocolate Day. […]
The best thing about Mexican restaurants? The Queso Dip. Hands down. Now, my husband might argue it’s the margaritas, but he’d be wrong. It’s the Queso. Creamy, spicy, flavorful cheese. I honestly have no clue what kind of cheese it is…but it’s fantastic and even better paired with salty tortilla chips. When we went to […]
Did you get the update? I’ve made it my 2012 Goal to introduce the Breakfast & Brunch eating crowd to the Popover. I’m shocked at how few recipes are out there on the internet, and therefore, I intend to create a minimum of 52. That’s right…a Popover a week for the entire length of 2012. […]
Happy New Year! I hope you’ve had a wonderful holiday, but truth be told, I’m ready to tackle 2012 and I am GLAD to have you BACK, reading, baking, and just being here for me, giving me reasons to keep posting! Over the holidays, I made this: a chocolate mousse topped cheesecake. I’ve made a […]
I hope you’ve enjoyed your holidays thus far – I have. However, I can’t believe I have taken this much time off. Can NOT believe it. Forgive me? I’ll make it up to you with these Molten Lava Chocolate Cakes, and at the end of this post…with a giveaway. See? That perked you up just […]
I feel weird, not posting. But I know most of you aren’t reading, anyway…as it should be. We should be shoving our faces with more chocolate than is safe for human consumption, taking naps, and making fun of our cousins. Not that I would do that. Lisa. So, I’ll keep it short and sweet. LOTS […]
