It’s okay…you can admit you clicked over because you read the words “Le Creuset Giveaway”, and not because you have a hankering for carrots. I get it. But trust me, the carrots are fantastic in their own right. The addition of cinnamon and ginger to a simple sweet glaze makes this side dish a nice […]
I’m not sure I can fit everything in to one post it’s been such an eventful week! But, here goes nothing… Posts you may not have seen… I did a Guest Post for Michelle, the force behind the popular blog BrownEyed Baker while she was off to Florida celebrating her birthday. Michelle has wonderful creations, […]
I spent the last few days taking Seven to Myrtle Beach. Jon had to stay home and work, so it was just The Boy and I. He’s three, but he knows every single button to push, every heartstring, every smile to get just what he wants, without even asking. That, of course, makes me want […]
Hi everyone! My name is Brandi and I write the blog BranAppetit! When Susan asked me a week ago if I’d write a guest post for her, my mind started racing. First – the answer was of course! We live 5 minutes away and I’m so happy to have another crazy food blogger living nearby. […]
For nearly ten years, I have been avoiding Cabo Fish Taco, a restaurant in downtown Blacksburg, Virginia, purely based on the name. Fish and Taco…not things I would normally combine. First of all, I’m not a fan of fish. It frightens me a little – all those teeny tiny bones. And the smell is not […]
It would have been nice to be able to leave out even one word of the title, but the truth is, I could have added a few more and it still wouldn’t have made a large enough impression. These brownies – these Double Fudge Peanut Butter Snickers Brownies – are hands down about the best […]
There are two main reasons a mother wants to consume their child. One, the child is sweeter than pudding, and far less fattening. Two, the child is the devil, and must be eliminated. Oftentimes, the two happen almost simultaneously. It’s a struggle. My Seven is a true combination of both. Sweet and Devil. But luckily, […]
Most of us have had our eyes focused on one of two things recently: The devastation in Japan, or the NCAA finals. I have no doubt the recovery efforts are well underway, as stories of survival emerge, touching videos of frightened pets are scattered about YouTube, and all of us watch in disbelief at footage […]
I know, right? White Chocolate Kit Kat Cookies. With Malt. And there’s even a nice amount of super dark chocolate chips thrown in to rein in the sweetness and deliver a chocolaty punch. Gimme. A. Break. The cookies were actually a series of happy accidents. Sure, I set out to make cookies with the White […]
Here it is again, March 14. 3.14, or Pi, for you math geeks. We Foodies have claimed it as ours, too, though, and today you will see a literal onslaught of Pie Roundups across the world wide web. I’m no different. So, in celebration of the math geek I used to be, and in honor […]
I am caked out, people. Between planning the RockHer Blogger Bash (which is quite honestly a full-time job) and the massive cake weekend I had, I am just about pooped. Pooped, I tell you. (and not in the potty pooped, either…I’m STILL changing Seven’s dirty diapers. But that’s beside the point.) Last night around midnight, […]
Sorry kids, no dinner today. No dessert, either. I’m sure you’ll survive it – the internet is just teeming with awesome food bloggers, many of which are way more prepared than I am. You see, For the past week or so, I have been avoiding the kitchen, living life, raising my little family…and planning the […]
