Halloween… the time of year for all things spooky. I was never a fan of Halloween as a kid. Now don’t get me wrong. I love copious amounts of Trick-o-Treat candy, but all the ghouls, witches, and goblins truly freaked me out. I was never one to be particularly entertained by the Freddy Krueger, Jason …

Vanilla Beans… I love them, I love the flavor, I love the intoxicating aroma and I am just smitten with those lovely black flecks. However, I do not use them very often because they are quite expensive – a whopping $10.98 per bean at my local market. Plus when I do indulge in the $10.98 …
I started taking cake decorating classes through Wilton, so I have been hanging out in the baking aisle of Michael’s on a pretty regular basis. This activity is fun for me, but not so fun for my bank account. I have a bunch of 40% and 50% off coupons from Michael’s and I feel as …

My cupboards are overflowing with bakeware and cookware, but when the lovely people from CSN stores offered to send me a “Bubble & Brown” 2-Piece Stoneware Baker Set by Rachel Ray, I immediately made room!

It has a great selection of over forty recipes ranging from the classics to more indulgent selections. The photography …
The good folks at Wilton contacted me and asked if they could send me a copy of their new book, Brownie Fun. Like most people, I don’t mind free things at all, so I responded to their email and within a couple of days I had two copies of this book in my mailbox. Brownie …
