I almost didn’t mention the Gluten-Free aspect of this brownie, as I know that things like “vegan” or “gluten free” or “healthy” tend to make me turn and run. Truth is, I think people, myself included, see recipes with dietary constraints as unappealing. As if something might not taste as good as it would if […]
I’m a big fan of making things from scratch. But I’ll also be the first to admit that I am willing to cheat when it comes down to ease and time constraints, especially if the cheat offers a great quality result with homemade taste. Take these pancakes, for example. Tenda-Bake is a pancake mix owned […]
I can do this. I can. I am a grown woman. Breathe. Avert your eyes, Mom. If nothing else, the following review has taught me to read my email a little more clearly. Imagine, if you will, you are me, and 742 emails a day come through, asking you to read a book, use a […]
I love when I find something online I just HAVE to HAVE. It doesn’t often happen, but when it does…oh man. I’m gung-ho and ready to go. Take for example this Tee Shirt Scarf I found the tutorial for over on Amanda’s Site. Number One, I LOVE scarves. I can’t get enough of them, and […]
Yep, you read that right. I have a gorgeous new Special Edition Keurig to give away! Don’t tell me you haven’t been drooling over one of these bad boys. Maybe you wanted one for your birthday, and no one (hello, loved ones? What’s up with THAT?) got you one. And then Christmas came and went, […]
I’ll be honest…I’m not into NFL Football. Sure, Peyton is cute. And funny. Drew is pretty sexy. (Okay, a LOT sexy.) Colt is the finest little Texan this side of, umm, Texas. But Superbowl 45 didn’t feature any of these gentlemen. Instead, it had that hairy lumberjack quarterback and that other team, who used to […]
What a way to celebrate! A day devoted to Nutella! (And of course, my Mom’s birthday…Happy Birthday Mom!) I’ll never forget my first taste of this chocolate hazelnut spread. On a trip to Italy, when I found it MUCH less expensive in the mercato than the peanut butter I thought I wanted. Oh. My. Lord. […]
Good afternoon, everyone! I hope you’ll pardon my lack of food today…I’ve been fighting off the crud and food just hasn’t been on the top of my list! However, I think you’ll be mighty pleased with what I DO have to offer – A 3 Quart Powder Pink Le Creuset Cast Iron Enamel Dutch Oven! […]
My son Seven is three. He’s a joy, most of the time, and he’s just like the little girl from the nursery rhyme: The was a little girl, who had a little curl, right in the middle of her forehead. And when she was good, she was very very good, but when she was bad, […]
Many of you know I spent this week in New York City, having a fabulous GROWN UP adventure. I ate. I shopped. I went to THREE movies. And I ate some more. The eating was part of a bakery tour with some blogger friends you may recognize – Jenny from Picky Palate, Maria from Two […]
I’d like to give a big THANK YOU to Tania of Love Big, Bake Often for guest posting here today while I m out galavanting in New York City! All day on Tuesday, I hoofed it around the city with Jenny from Picky Palate, Amanda from Kevin & Amanda, Maggie of Three Many Cooks, Maria […]
What a mouthful. Literally. To be honest, this isn’t the cupcake I had envisioned making. But, it sprung about from an order that I had over the weekend, and was the result of a little ingenuity. And guess what? It’s delicious. I mean THINK about it. Nutella. Chocolate. Sugar. Bananas. They’re heaven. Why not combine […]
