I hate humidity. I hate muggy. I don’t hate it because it makes me feel sluggish, sticky and sweaty. I don’t hate it because it transforms my hair into a limp, Medusa like ‘do’...
Last March, Jenni, of the beautiful blog, The Gingered Whisk, asked me to do a guest post. Naturally, I jumped in, and wanted to get to work on it immediately. Jenni and I have been friends since 200...
First off, I’d like to thank everyone for all the thoughtful, sweet comments and emails about my situation. You have no idea how much those comments and emails have helped, so again..Thank You,...
So, here I am again. Life has thrown some nasty curveballs at me and loved ones the past month, so I haven’t been able to concentrate on cooking, baking, writing, and really LIVING. Simply put,...
This SRC post was completed almost 3 weeks ago. Once I realized the reveal date was going to fall during Passover, I decided I was going to make something else from my Secret Recipe Club blog assign...
Just wanted to let you all know there’s been some sad stuff going on in life that has prevented me from being able to cook, bake and get some posts up. To add to all that, yesterday, my father...
Have you ever tried an Egg Cream? I’m guessing most of you have if you live in the Northeast, but those who have not, and possibly have not even heard of one, I’ll start by saying it has...
UPDATE: Apparently there is some problem with an upgrade WordPress made to the comment form. If you have any trouble leaving a comment, please email me at lismi171@yahoo.com, and I’ll take car...
For this months Secret Recipe Club, I decided to keep it skinny, since I also happen to be reviewing a few new Weight Watchers Fresh Meals in this post. When I saw this Cheesecake with Sour Cream at...
I’m thrilled to bring you the round-up of Bread Baking Day #47 – Bread with Chocolate. I was stunned at the number of submissions I received from all over the world (some even made two...
These are what I made for this month’s Daring Bakers Challenge..Popovers, but not just any popovers, popovers with flecks of chocolate in them. Cool, huh? Even though you can barely see the fl...
Before I get to Part 5 of my Bad Boy First Love Story, if you recall, I’m this month’s host for Bread Baking Day #47, Bread with Chocolate. Naturally, as host, I take part too, so I̵...
Happy Valentines Day, err, Eve, everyone! I had this post scheduled to go up at 5pm last night. Apparently I didn’t use GMT, so it’s now the 15th. Well, it’s still Valentine̵...
First I’d like to start this post with a huge WOOHOO to the XLVI Super Bowl Champs, the NY Giants! Way to go, Big Blue! February is definitely a chocolatey month, so when I was assigned the b...
A few days ago, I received an email from zorra of 1x Umruhren Bitten, who founded Bread Baking Day back in 2007, asking if I wanted to host BBD #47. I was excited and flattered. I was always hoping...
First I just want to say that this post was almost set to go Wednesday, and then my computer crashed. It was fixed briefly, but then it crashed again. Thankfully I didn’t lose anything, but w...
Please don’t hate me. I need to postpone Bad Boy Love Part Two for a few days. You see, some things came up that couldn’t be avoided, which is also why I’m a day late for the Dari...
I made these sticky buns over a week ago, the photos processed, resized and ready to go, but I couldn’t write the post to go with it. There’s been a lot going on in my life so with all t...
First I want to clarify (although I know 99.9% of you know this), the following Orange Lacquered Chicken does not contain real lacquer, or any stain or shellac. Nor does it contain any substance you...
This post was scheduled to go up at midnight. But I scheduled it a few hours earlier, so in retrospect, this is Lisa of New Years past speaking. Let me explain… The reason I initially schedule...
Remember back in ’09 I told you all about Herbie, my then almost 2-year old sourdough starter made using Nancy Silverton’s grape starter method? Remember how I told you I was going to int...
Well…not only Christmas morning, but an anytime coffee cake. However, with the red and green from raspberry preserves and pistachio nuts, I think it suits Christmas morning very well. Plus, i...
I’m in love with pork buns especially the baked kind. I’ve been known to go out of my way just to stop at Asian bakeries to pick up varieties of their soft lovely buns..and there’s...
Once again I come armed with pumpkin, cheesecake and a squeeze bottle of chocolate ganache, which is a combination you’ve seen on my blog twice in the past month, from pie to these muffins. No...
I think I need to come up with a shorter name for these, huh? I was thrilled when my Secret Recipe Club blog assignment arrived and the blog assigned to me, Megan’s Cooking, had a recipe for P...
Yes, you read that right – turkey dinner pop tarts. I bet the first thing that comes to mind is pieces of turkey in jam and frosting on top, right? No worries, these are savory pop tarts! Any...
Whenever I think of Thanksgiving, I think of pie. Bulging golden apple pie, deep orange, custardy pumpkin pie, gooey sweet, toasty pecan pie, luscious, rich…well, you get the picture. DonR...
I think I was an Italian Nonna in a previous life. You see, I have this uncanny ability to whip up perfect, homemade pasta, whether it be tortellini, orecchiette, gnocchi, fettuccine, linguine, ravi...
I hope everyone had a Happy Halloween! Halloween was postponed here until this coming Saturday. Although for safety reasons due to falling branches from the October freak snow storm last Saturday, ...
