Why is it that everything gets more adorable when it’s miniaturized? Puppies, bunny rabbits, and yes, even Le Creuset! You know I have a special place in my heart for anything Le Creuset. Their cookware lasts forever. It is as durable as the day is long. It’s also as versatile as the day is long. …
Growing up, my brother and I were always fond of breakfast for dinner. There was something very “opposite day” about it that intrigued us like no other meal could. We almost felt like little rebels basking in a stack of pancakes dripping in syrup while our neighborhood friends sat down to spaghetti or pot roast. …
Last weekend we went to a local pizza restaurant that supposedly has the “best” deep dish pizza outside of Chicago. I hate deep dish pizza.
I can honestly say that I could spend hours in a Williams-Sonoma store. I find their selection to be the epitome of a baker’s heaven! It can pretty much be assumed that if a product has come from Williams-Sonoma, that it will be well-made and a great addition to anyone’s kitchen. With that being said, …
A review of Pam Anderson’s new cookbook, Perfect One-Dish Dinners as well as her recipe for decadent Pecan Pie Sundaes.
I am counting down the days left before I return to the real world of 5:30 annoying alarm wake up calls and 8 hour work days. I know I’m lucky and shouldn’t complain about getting 3 months off a year, but it’s such a difficult transition, plus, I feel like whining today. As summer unwinds …
I am ecstatic to let you know about a new e-cookbook hitting the market today. The e-cookbook is called 55 Knives and is a stunning compilation of recipes from 55 amazingly talented food bloggers. I had a chance to preview the book and I am in awe of the hard work that went into creating …
Last week I posted a recipe for Orange Whipped Cream Cake. The cake was very moist, tasty and was full of spring flavors…it even made the Foodbuzz Top 9 on Friday. The cake was adapted from Rose’s Heavenly Cakes and the post included a giveaway for Rose’s cookbook. In order to enter the giveaway, I …
If you read my previous post for Orange Cupcakes, you may recall me saying that it is freezing here in Ohio. This arctic chill has me baking with citrus and yearning for summer. Today’s recipe is from Rose Levy Beranbaum’s new book, Rose’s Heavenly Cakes. I adapted it slightly (see my notes at the bottom …
Although I sat out the first Barefoot Bloggers recipe for May, there was absolutely no chance I was going to forgo in this week’s recipe. Eva of I’m Boring chose Outrageous Brownies and since the boyfriend is all about brownies I made these very early in the month. I cut the recipe in half and …
The temperatures here in Ohio are on the rise and in my opinion nothing relieves the heat like a cup of homemade ice cream. I recently purchased Williams Sonoma’s Ice Cream book and fell in love. It has a great selection of over forty recipes ranging from the classics to more indulgent selections. The photography …
I was sent a cake recipe via email from a friend. She proclaimed this to be better than Dorie Greenspan’s Perfect Party Cake, which was my current fave. This is a basic yellow cake from the cookbook, Baking at Home with The Culinary Institute of America. Since this friend is such a tough critic, I …
I ordered Dorie Greenspan’s book, Baking: From My Home to Yours. This book is actually what compelled me to create this blog, well, that and my mild photography obsession. This recipe involves a brownie cake base topped with a caramel peanut sauce. In one word, I would describe this as rich… really, really rich! I …
