Ive seen this cauliflower pizza crust idea floating around the internet for a while now. It seems bizarre. Although they sound the same, cauliflower and flour have nothing in common. How could one re...
I am SO excited to share this recipe with you guys today!! It comes from Martha Stewart Livings Great Food Fast and guess what? It really is great and fast. I seriously cannot stop eating this stuff....
Here is another recipe that reminds me of why I love brownies so much. They are a chocoholics go-to dessert because they are easy, portable, and dont require much planning (unlike a layer cake). This...
These sandwiches are inspired by Philly Cheesesteaks. I would never dare to call these sandwiches that because people get very upset if they feel something isnt traditional. Ive never had a cheeseste...
The past week has been a giant blur of recipe testing for the cookbook. So much so that I almost forgot to make a recipe for todays post. Oops! Luckily I remembered last minute and am supplied with e...
The other day I was watching a TV show that made fun of the fact that Kim Kardashian and Lindsay Lohan attended the White House Correspondents Dinner. It got me thinking. So many of the female celebr...
Most of the recipes below take 45 minutes or less of active prep work and cooking time (for example, marinading overnight wouldnt count as active cooking time). They either use simple ingredients, si...
I know, I know. Another taco recipe. Sorry! I just love them. I remember as a kid thinking tacos were the perfect meal. In one neat package you got your protein, starch, dairy, and veggies (although ...
I saved this recipe to my favorites a long time ago but never made them. I think it was because it calls for store-bought caramels and Ive always been skeptical of those. However, the other day I saw...
I have been slightly addicted to fashion blogs and shopping lately. If youve got any recommendations for blogs, Id love to hear them! I pretty much enjoy anything that would be in a womens magazine. ...
This week celebrates Handle the Heats THIRD birthday! I published my first post back in April of 2009. It somehow seems like a long and a short time ago. So many things have happened since then. I mo...
No, the recipe title isnt a redundant typo. These cookies actually have crushed Oreos inside! While putting away new groceries the other day I discovered I had a half-empty package of Oreo cook...
Theres a reason an entire series of inspirational books was titled "Chicken Soup for the Soul." Chicken soup is as warm and comforting as food gets. This recipe is no exception. It has pasta ...
I remember making streusel muffins for the first time at a friends house as a kid. Although it was from a box mix I fell in love instantly with that sweet, buttery, crumbly topping. Is there anything...
This recipe has been floating around the Pinterest sphere for a few weeks now (side note: when do you think spell-check will include the word Pinterest?). It sounded like the perfect weeknight staple...
You know youve been doing a lot of recipe testing when you read the sign for the exit on the freeway as being a "1/4 cup" away instead of a "1/4 mile" away. When you realize you dont ...
This week I started getting notices from people that havent been able to pin some of my posts on Pinterest. I think I fixed the problem (Flickr changed their settings and didnt alert anyone and it se...
Right now theres a puppy barking at me, a fly buzzing around my face, and a neighbor blasting the same song on repeat. The temperature is also nearing the three digit mark, which feels like death. Bu...
When I was asked to participate in this months Side Car Series over at Kitchen Play, I had no idea who the sponsor was going to be. Imagine my excitement when I discovered the sponsor was the Interna...
I think Im finally getting the hang of my new curling wand. This is actually my hair the next day! I love being able to wake up and my hair is still styled from the past day. When its the middle of s...
A lot of people in the culinary industry discredit television chefs like Giada de Laurentiis (this recipe is from her latest cookbook). It seems they feel like the general public is invading their li...
I love recipes that put a twist on a classic food item. Sometimes things need to be shaken up. Would you believe that I didnt like packaged rice crispy treats as a kid? Even back then they were too s...
I hope everyone had a good Easter or Passover, or just a great weekend if you dont celebrate either. Unfortunately I had to work all weekend. The joys of working in retail! Id much prefer to work on ...
This week was pretty uneventful. I did lots of recipe testing for the cookbook which is sort of a bittersweet experience. When I finally nail down a recipe and taste it and its awesome, I cant share ...
Sometimes its the simplest things you crave. Like banana bread. I have posted a lovely recipe for banana bread with chocolate glaze before. But this past week, thats not what I was craving. No, I was...
The other night I took our puppy, Chewie, outside to poo. As he sniffed around for what seemed like an eternity I happened to tilt my head up at the nights sky. It had been way to long since Id taken...
In high school there would be a muffin cart in the main hallway once a week. Students could buy muffins from the special needs classrooms to help raise money for their programs. At least I think that...
Phew. This week was a whirlwind of events and emotions. Hence the small number of recipe posts. On Wednesday morning (at the crack of dawn) my boyfriend left and wont be back for a little over 2 mont...
Im pretty sure that if I had agreed, my boyfriend would have eaten these for breakfast, lunch and dinner. These breakfast empanadas are filled with a chorizo, potato, and scrambled egg mixture and en...
Ive had this recipe marked for a long time. Anything that has a fun, playful, and sweet surprise is bound to be worthwhile. I almost wish I had a niece or nephew or cousin or some child that I could ...
