Is there anything more perfect in the world than apple pie? Nope. Don’t think so. Well, maybe this apple pie. I had seen a recipe for a caramel apple pie probably 25 years ago. It had caramel o...
Stuck. Blocked. Bored. Uninspired. Dislike cooking (can that possibly be!?). Stuck, blocked, bored, and seriously challenged by my iMac. I miss my PC. Once you get out of the habit of sitting down an...
I am very late to the Pioneer Woman bandwagon. Not sure why. I love her recipes and style of cooking. Might have to do with my general aversion to blogs for such a long time. I still find it amazing ...

I don’t remember when it started. I think it just always was. Right from the very first second. To quote a line from Jerry Maguire - she had me at hello. A little background. When the Food Netw...
