I play in a kickball league and was recently shocked when most of them admitted they had never had funfetti cupcakes. I was shocked! I remember eating the frosting with a spoon and scarfing dow...
By nature Im naturally drawn to chocolatey desser ts - chocolate sweets tempt me in a way that no pie, cookie, or vanilla cake can do. That is, until now. I recently scored loads...
Many of you know that Im a chocoholic-sugar-midnight snack addict and contrastly, Grant could care less about the sugary goodness that comes out of our kitchen. Lately Ive been taking my sweet ...

I missed out posting Abbey Cat yesterday so I thought Id show you the cat that made me love cats, Captain Hook. He was Grants family cat for over 15 years before he passed away and we all miss him de...
I made this bundt cake last fall and have been looking for an excuse to make it again. It was moist and rich, and nearly impossible to eat a whole slice at once. The stout gave it a wonderful d...

Aah, french onion soup. Ive always loved a good cup of this soup dripping with melted cheese; the flavors are so bright and comforting. One of my first real jobs was at Mimis Cafe - I...

Another Monday and Im wondering where the weekend went; Grant and I spent Saturday babysitting his nephews and watched basketball for most of Sunday. Im still wondering what happened to my wond...
Up until I made this Id never cooked pork myself. It seemed too intimidating to me with its tendency to dry out and although it makes no sense I always felt guilty for the pigs. Yes, I kno...
