Dark Chocolate and Salted Caramel Topped Shortbread

Dark Chocolate and Salted Caramel Topped Shortbread. It looks daunting, doesn’t it? It’s not, not really. Trust me, it’s worth it. There are few things more rewarding than being able to successfully prepare a chewy, buttery caramel. It’s a scary process for many, but, well, I don’t get scared too easily. Let’s determine why NOT […]

Great Wolf Lodge Getaway

Want to know how the Great Wolf Lodge came about? Here’s my guess…Sit a group of 9 year olds down. Give them a pack of markers, a bunch of candy, and unlimited guidelines. Tell them to design the ultimate hotel. It’s gonna go something like this: How cool would it be if we could have […]

West Bend Versatility Slow Cooker Giveaway

If you’ve been following me for any length of time, you know I am a big fan of West Bend products…especially the Versatility Slow Cooker. It’s a crockpot. It’s a warmer. It’s a griddle, for crying out loud. It’s amazing. I want you to have one, too, and so do my friends at West Bend. […]

Holiday Candy

Parties this weekend. Got some. You? Every year we head over to my aunts house for a lot of finger foods, silliness, present swapping, and ridiculous sweets. Gotta love the sweets…but the silliness is a lot of fun, too. I’d go even if there wasn’t a pile of food. Luckily, I don’t have to face […]

Cheddar Brat Pretzels

Pretzels. Sausage. Cheese. Post over. No, just kidding. These soft, chewy pretzels are filled with a cheesy Cheddar Brats from Johnsonville. Great on their own, or, were you so inclined, you could dip them in mustard. Me? I’m not a mustard fan at all. Not sure why, I just never developed a taste for it. […]

Toasted Coconut and Browned Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Browned butter. Should be illegal, but thankfully? It isn’t. I’ve been using it in just about every cookie dough, and what started out as a basic chocolate chip cookie for me last week turned inspirational when I realized I still had a bit of toasted coconut. Happy, happy day. In went the coconut, out came […]

How about an amazing giveaway? From Microsoft?

No joke kiddos, I’ve moved into the big time. Microsoft. When I got an email the other day offering me a basketful of goodies, including the Ultimate Windows 7 and Office Home & Business, I thought it was a joke. Microsoft has heard of ME? Shocking, I know. Of course, I emailed the very kind […]

Gingerbread Popovers

I can’t seem to get enough gingerbread in my diet this Christmas. I swear, anything that sits still long enough has gotten a spicy holiday makeover. Cheesecake (forthcoming!), Cinnamon Rolls, Cookies, Beignets, and now popovers. As you are probably aware, I am a huge proponent of popovers, and they really need to become more popular. […]

Chocolate Orange Olive Oil Cookies

Have you ever made cookies with olive oil? I’ve used shortening. Butter. Browned butter. Vegetable oil, sometimes. But olive oil? Not until recently. I am a huge fan of Nudo Italia Olive Oils. I adore their flavors – Lemon, thyme, garlic, chili pepper. But I use those for savory cooking, not baking. And since it’s […]

Cheddar Baked Potato Soup

Last week held a few bitter cold days for us here. Rainy, windy, icky. The kind of days you just want to crawl in under the covers and hide, only to emerge for hot bowls of soup and grilled cheese sandwiches. Or at least that’s what we wanted to do, anyway. Jon works outdoors, all […]

Santa’s Breakfast Helper

I don’t often do Ready-to-Eat Product reviews. But you know what? I’m human. I’m tired. The holidays are keeping us hopping, what with Christmas Plays, Seven being in school every day versus 3 times a week, holiday shopping, short daylight hours (snooze), and all the other life that has to happen in the course of […]
