Believe it or not, I had never eaten gumbo until a couple of weeks ago, when I decided to make this dish. I knew that National Gumbo Day was approaching, and I though I’d give it a shot. I mean, all of the ingredients seemed good on their own, why not together? So, I searched […]
Or, in my house, Drunken Shrimp and Lizardberry Baconaters. Have you ever watched the Annoying Orange videos on YouTube? Ridiculous. I’m embarrassed to say how many times I have watched it…especially the walnut episode. It is here that I was first introduced to Lizardberry – aka Avocado. Doesn’t Lizardberry give you the giggles? No? […]

Or would it be “Cakes for Science”?? Either way, this is a cake I helped my cousin’s daughter make a few weeks ago for her school science class. I showed her how to ice it, we played with fondant, I taught her to use piping bags…and I relearned all those crazy mitochondria, cell wall, Golgi […]
Last week i was one of the privileged few bloggers invited to Oregon to tour egg farms as a part of the Good Egg Project. It was such an amazing time – and completely involves a separate post all its own, so stay tuned for that! I loved meeting my fellow bloggers…we were all […]
Good morning DoughMessTic Readers! In celebration of all things Taco on this, the Official Day of Tacos (no joke), I present you with my latest Jim Beam Kentucky Bourbon recipe! I concocted this dream of a tailgate (or weekday dinner) meal while on the plane to Oregon last week…and considering the results, I should […]
A couple of weeks ago, I introduced you to the new cooking group entitled French Fridays with Dorie, a group of several hundred Dorie Greenspan fans who are amped up to make our way through her new cookbook: Around My French Table. I am so thrilled to be a part of yet another Dorie […]
Good morning! As you read this, I am probably on a red-eye flight from Oregon to Virginia, konked out on Tylenol PM and sheer exhaustion! However, I wanted to let you know that tomorrow, October 1st, is National Homemade Cookie Day. Knowing that NOW will give you at least 24 hours to bake up […]
I know. What on Earth is Hubcap Pasta? Honestly, I don’t know. I good friend of mine is the culprit behind this name. You see, I was telling him about a recipe I found in Bon Appetit, and how, like an idiot, I began making it one evening without verifying that I had all the […]
Time to bring out the Kentucky Bourbon again! For this round of tailgating with Jim Beam, I went the sweet route…because there is always room for dessert! It seems that people flock to the tailgates where the cookies, brownies, and cakes are lined up (well, at least I do) – so try incorporating this […]
Today is officially the first day of Fall. To me, that means cool air, tailgate parties, marshmallows on the firepit, and most importantly, Pumpkin. Anything and everything Pumpkin. Here over the months I have been posting recipes, I have had quite a few pumpkin yummies make the line up, so I thought today would […]
