Bread pudding…isn’t that dessert? Isn’t it only for things like cinnamon, raisins, or chocolate? No way. If you’ve tried sweet bread pudding and didn’t like it, don̵...
I can’t believe I just said y’all. But being Midwest-born, California-raised, New York-schooled…I guess it’s time I let a little bit of the South in me too. Everyone has their...
What’s the secret to a good salad? …creamy dressing? …a handful of your favorite nuts? …BACON???? Well, I do think all of those things can only make a salad better, but none o...
Did you ever eat those frozen pre-packaged waffles growing up? I did. And I almost can’t believe I did. They’re quite a far cry from the crisp, thick, flavorful waffles I now make every S...

Roasted chicken…exciting stuff, huh??? …not so much? Yeah, that’s how I felt for a long time. Who can blame us, roast chicken has become such a common, “normal” dish, an...

I am so pleased to introduce the new Fifteen Spatulas to all of you! Probably the biggest take-away I learned at the Food Blog Forum in Orlando is that a professional website is insanely important. I...
Have you ever been so stunned by something that it made you forget where you were? ….what you were doing? …who you were with? Let me put this into context for you. My husband has an AmEx ...
At first glance, the farm may not seem like a very interesting place. There’s big open areas of grass, lots of bugs, and maybe not a whole lot more than that. I suspect that as a child, the pla...
Sounds too good to be true, doesn’t it? Crispy potato chips…with no oil???!? …no butter?! …no fat whatsoever??? Yessum. These potato chips have got that robust crunch. You kno...

The funny thing about blogging is yes, everything I post is something that I eat, but 3 posts/week doesn’t even begin to cover what I eat the majority of the time. So what else do I eat? People...
How GORGEOUS are these? After I publish this post I might just sit here and stare at my screen for a while. I first saw these done in an issue of Saveur magazine and I practically fell over when I sa...
Juice. Coffee. Tea. Wine. Beer. Cocktails. I’ve only named a few of the drinks that are out there for human enjoyment. Yet it’s very rare that I drink anything other than water or milk. I...
Asian lettuce wraps make me act funny. I get huge cravings for these little wrapped up bites… So I go to the store. I get the ingredients. I make the dish. I eat it. Then two days later I want ...
Smack dab in the middle of the produce section yesterday was a big basket of firetruck-red on-the-vine tomatoes. These tomatoes…they were just asking for attention. I went to go pick one up and...
This opening photo…was it the most put-together shot I had? …no. But I think it captures the glory that is this sandwich. Gooey gruyere cheese smashed between thick slices of buttery avo...
Making this dish reminds me so fondly of the time I spent as a teenager working my summers at Pennini’s restaurant in my hometown. It’s funny to think back on it because at the time, all ...
I crave Manhattan. I need Manhattan. You see, Pete and I are currently stationed in a small little nowhere town on the border of Georgia and Florida. We have discovered that this is a good place for ...
I like to splurge at Starbucks on occasion, but I must admit that I’m much too cheap to go there on a regular basis and repeatedly shell out $4 for a dainty caramel macchiato that’s the s...
As most people do, I sometimes have difficulty restraining myself when it comes to eating certain foods. Caramel is one of those things. I distinctly remember the shock and horror when I discovered t...
