I had an incredible, dare I say life changing, experience of tasting some treats from a specialty food store in Amarillo yesterday.

 Print This PostMy friend Jackie had a birthday this past Friday, so she was getting a dozen cupcakes whether she liked it or not. I used a boxed chocolate cake mix for the cupcakes. I know…baking from a mix is not my style. But cake mixes are always reliable, and I haven’t yet found a terrific chocolate cupcake [...] By CarrieZ |

Print This PostI’ve seen more than one blog in the past few weeks with a no-knead bread post. I read one recipe around 11 AM the other day and thought, “This sounds great! I will make it tonight!” but then I saw that it has to rise for 12-18 hours. Well. Unless I wanted to eat fresh [...] By CarrieZ |
Print This PostMy sister told me about this site, 101cookbooks. All the recipes are vegetarian and pretty healthy. She has a recipe for black bean brownies that I am planning to try soon. There are so many yummy things that I’ve put on my list of “to-make” recipes. I may not ever find the time to make [...] |
