S’mores Granola Bars

April 11, 2011

This month I sent off a care package again for Baking Gals as part of Team Fire & Icing.  If you like to bake and haven’t checked it out yet, I highly recommend you do.  Essentially, the group sends care packages to soldiers stationed overseas or recovering from injuries back at home.  I love it [...]

Chocolate Banana Bread Pudding

April 4, 2011

I must confess that before my Banana Tea Cake was out of the oven I already had plans of how to use the leftovers.  Yes, I chose the recipe knowing full well that I planned on morphing it into something even more delicious than its original form.  That eventual plan was the bread pudding I [...]

March 28, 2011

“How can I learn to cook without recipes?”  It’s a question that I get a lot once friends or colleagues find out that I have a food blog.  It’s clear that the recession has spurred a lot of home cooking and once people become comfortable with their repetoire of recipes they are often eager to [...]

Chocolate Stout Ice Cream

February 21, 2011

There’s a common strategy in the cooking world that if you want to introduce someone to something new - especially if it’s a food they think they don’t like – you should pair it with a favorite food.  That means putting ew-inducing vegetables on pizza or trying out a new spice blend, say Garam Masala, on french [...]

Cherry Cordial M&M Cookies

January 5, 2011

Like many women, I’m a sucker for a good bargain, so the day after Christmas I set out with my mother and sister in pursuit of good deals. At 30-50% off I couldn’t resist nabbing ornaments, holiday packaging for homemade goodies (including some adorable treat bags and boxes) and wrapping paper. I’m definitely guilty of [...]
