Whew.It’s almost over. It started as a grand adventure. A fun way to create a product for raising money. Who doesn’t love caramel apples. And even better, who wouldn’t love a caramel apple loaded with goodies and chocolate. Little did I know how much of a hassle the last two […]

First, check out this post at Tigers & Strawberries. Very intriguing post. It is something that has been on my mind for some time. Recently I read a cookbook called Marcella Says… by Marcella Hazan. While I don’t much care for the actual recipes for the cookbook, her writing is […]

Okay, I really like this one. I mean, I really like this coffee. The package states “Front line fuel from a blend of South American dark and medium roasts to create a well balanced smooth taste.” That description is right on the money. We usually prefer a darker, bolder coffee. […]

Well, I’ve gone to start today’s post several times already this morning. But then I’ve thought of other things and have gotten distracted. I guess part of me is avoiding the inevitable. By starting today’s weigh-in post, I had to actually commit to running upstairs and hopping on that scale. […]

Then check out this cookie at Cookie Madness. It really is a great cookie. Great texture, great tasting. Yum. Enough said. This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 License.

Yesterday I received a Zooba package in the mail. Yippee! I ripped it open to find a glossy new copy of Giada De Laurentiis latest cookbook, Family Dinners. I was elated. If you’ve been following this blog for a while, you will remember my constant swooning over recipes from her […]

Can I brag about my kids today? Can I interrupt the goings on in my kitchen to talk about the loves of my life. 🙂 Today I was outside sitting in the grass having a picnic with Zander, and thought to myself – This is what life is about. It’s […]

So this morning I am making my daily rounds of the foodie blogs that I frequent, and I stumble on THIS post from Always In The Kitchen. Oh yum. I love grits. I adore grits. There is nothing in the world like eggs and grits. Nothing. The last few times […]

As fellow food-bloggers may have noticed, recently there have been quite a few posts about “minis”. Or cupcakes, to be exact. While the current food trend of The Cupcake may be fast fleeting, I thought I would take my turn at making a mini. Literally. I wanted to make a […]

Tonight’s was a good one indeed. I received the latest issue of Everyday Food in the mail a few days ago, and this recipe just jumped out at me. One of the things that attracted me to it was its simplicity, and the fact that I usually have all of […]

So I do apologize for yesterday. By the time I remembered it was Wednesday, I thought it was too late in the day to hop on the scale for an accurate analysis. But I did remember this morning. The drawback? I have one less day until next week Wednesday for […]

“Lead the information reformation with this medium roast from the prized Tarrazu region of Costa Rica with excellent body and robust richness.” That is the description on Boca Java’s New Media Mavericks coffee. This is a very nice cup of coffee. To be honest, I don’t have much else to […]
