Guess what? I moved. That's right, I have a new online home. Come on over and say "Hi." Also I make a couple of announcements over at the new blog home-so don't miss out. Lot'...
I made coffee cake yesterday for two reasons: 1. It was mother's day and I thought a cake was called for. I landed on coffee cake because I was serving it in the morning (and frosting before noo...
A few weeks ago I found myself with an excess amount of egg roll wrappers. Sure, I could have bought items to make the the egg roll filling again, but instead I decided to make something up. Why not?...
If you've been reading my blog for very long then you probably already know that I have a slight obsession with making curries. I love curries. And I have made it one of my goals this year to cr...
When I was in high school I got sent home one day for wearing a slip as a dress. In my defense I really didn't realize it would be such a scandalous moment. I had just seen a few models where sl...
I love citrus: lemons, limes, oranges, tangerines, grapefruit, etc. So when I saw this recipe in an issue of Everyday Food I had to try it out. I am SUCH a sucker for magazine photoshoped, high gloss...
Let's talk vegetarian burgers for a minute, it's not like anything else big is happening today. What royal wedding? I've made lentil burgers before, and what I love about them is they ...
I recently finished reading 52 Loaves by William Alexander and I must say, I was so impressed. And talk about obsession, Alexander spent a whole year baking, traveling to bread conferences, taking ba...
The other morning I woke up in the mood for muffins. With a crumb topping. And then, for some reason, I was trying to remember what I used to eat for breakfast (or any meal really) back before I star...
Hot Cross Scones. Like hot cross buns... but lazier. I used Joy's recipe for Hot Cross Biscuits, but used cranberries and nuts instead of currants. To be honest, I'm not totally sure I'...
...combo is a weird word, huh? In other news: I stole this top from my sister. Don't worry, she knows. She took this picture. Having a fashionable (and generous) big sister is pretty awesome. I ...
The weather is warming up and I am in the mood for picnic food. Doesn't even matter if I'm not going a picnic right then, I just want the food. Like movie theater popcorn. You know? I'...
It finally happened. I was browsing the thrift store, minding my own business, when I saw them. White cowboy (or are you suppose to call them cowgirl) boots. Tucked among last year's Payless cas...
A "buckle" is a variation on the ever classic cobbler. This is also sometimes referred to as "spoon cake." In fact as far as cobbler variations go there is: crumble, crisp, buckle...
Don't look at my toe nails too closely. I know I just posted a picture of them on the internet and all... but just try and notice the metallic shoes and not the chipping toe nail polish. *Blush*...
I had a left over zucchini in my refrigerator due to an overestimation on vegetable consumption for a curry I made a few weeks ago. Overestimation of vegetable consumption. Yeah, I'm a nerd. So ...
For the last few months Elsie and I have been spending hours and hours working on our latest e-course (and my first one,like, ever) called Dream Job. We share loads of technical advice, tips and p...
Over the weekend I hosted a Honey themed bridal shower for Elsie. It was a lot of fun and I thought honey, vanilla and caramel were the perfect compliments to this lovely spring weather we've be...
When asked what was for dinner this past Sunday I think I replied by saying, "a frittata" about three or four times before I gave up and started saying "it's a baked omelette.&quo...
A few weeks ago I made, ahem-set fire to, banana bread. It was my first banana bread. Mistakes were made. Flames rose in my oven. Smoke permeated the air. It was an interesting day... Bananas and nut...
Do you remember the Seinfeld episode where Jerry has a t-shirt that he calls, "golden boy?" I think he does his laundry and golden boy doesn't make it... that was sad. Sometimes I call...
In honor of Spring (and my sister's honey themed bridal shower next weekend!) we will be serving up Peanut Butter and Honey cupcakes every Friday and Saturday at the Red Velvet Sweet Shoppe. The...
My local library asked me to be a part of a special event they were hosting this week! Our challenge was to create an edible book. I choose to make a design based on the classic book Charlotte's...
My little brother is usually the egg roll maker at family dinners, but I decided I wanted to try my hand at it. And so, of course, I decided to make vegetarian egg rolls. These are almost vegan too. ...
One of my favorite meals is vegetable yellow curry. I have a favorite Thai restaurant in town (I love you Thai Peppers) and I doubt I will ever make a yellow curry as good as theirs. Dare to dream. A...
I love grapefruit, but only in the spring and summer months. If I could think of a good way to... um, heat up citrus I would love it in winter too. But I just think citrus fruits are so good served c...
So I was at Barnes & Noble buying a few copies of the latest Ready Made (pssst-Elsie and I are featured in an article) and a sweet older lady turned to me and said, "Oh my goodness I love yo...
Sometimes you just want to chew. And chew. I love to make pizza, it's seriously one of my favorite food groups. What? Pizza isn't a food group? Listen, you stick to your food pyramid and I&...
I fried me some pickles ya'll! Crunchy, starchy on the outside and tangy zangy (and a little bit sweet) on the inside. I don't think zangy is actually a word... Ever since I had some fried ...
I generally try and keep my coffee/espresso drink intake to one beverage a day. I tend to stick to coffee, but I love a good americano now and again too. :) I find that too much caffeine makes me ang...
