Back in August, the day after we moved back to California it was my birthday. I have been wanting to make these cupcakes for a while now but I knew I didn’t need to have that many lying around the house. So being back home with family was a great opportunity. Rather than taking the…
My husband lived in Switzerland for 2 years and always talks about the food he misses from there which is really just the cheese. My husband is a cheese snob. If he had his druthers we would be eating those $25 per pound gourmet cheese every day. Thankfully he settles for something a bit more…
I served this pasta salad with the ribs I posted last week. My hubby digs on this salad and I love how versatile it is. I have made it with crab, tuna, shrimp, and just the plain ol’ pasta salad. They all have been awesome and they all taste slightly different depending on what kind…
We love cooking outside but it is something we have not done much of since we have moved out here to Georgia. There are a lot of bugs! Like outrageous amounts of bugs and when the weather is nice enough to be outside the bugs are out in full force. But this summer has been…
During the winter I did lots of baking, especially muffins so that we would have breakfast on hand to add variety to our morning meals. Man, or child, cannot live on cereal alone. During the summer though the thought of using my oven for extended periods of time just makes me way too hot. So…
I’ve mentioned before how I have lots of fond food memories growing up. This is another one of those meals that I have great memories of. We would make these as a family right at the dinner table. My mom would set up the deep fryer in the middle of our table and we would…
I’ve mentioned before how much I love Pinterest. It has exposed me (in the non-flasher way) to all sorts of new people and new blogs. Not that I now follow all those blogs but I’ve at least explored there blogs for a while. I usually glean some new ideas and they hopefully benefit from the…
I love gnocchi. I can’t tell you the first time I tried it or when it became this obsession for me but I love it. And I got my hubby hooked on it too. Gnocchi is basically a mini Italian dumpling. There are many different types of gnocchi, some are made with spinach, potato, ricotta,…
My husband and my daughter have their birthdays the same month. They aren’t really close together being over three weeks apart but until my little girl gets older we’ve decided to group them together for the meantime. For their luau themed party this year I decided to make two cakes and I wanted to try…
Recently I read an article about how lemons are a great winter fruit. I was intrigued especially since I had a recipe for Lemon Curd I wanted to try. My husband loves lemon flavored things and this recipe really jumped out at me. The best part was it was used in some savory dishes too….
So I am a big believer that food should be more than just what tastes good. I love the part in Ratatouille where the critic tastes the food and is transported back to a particular memory. Food should be about bringing people together and creating memories together. My grandma’s zucchini bread is one of those…
My favorite food group by far has to be any form of carbs. I love pasta, bread, potatoes, crackers,… the list could go on and on. I admit that I get Martha Stewart Magazine (subscription courtesy of my grandmother)and I love to scour through it each month. I admire what her and her crew do…
