Sweet Saturday: White and Dark Chocolate Coffee Brownies

It was 70° two days ago. Right now it is 39°, cloudy and misty. I’m wearing long pants, a sweatshirt and my fake fur lined boots…and I like it. I am starting to truly like cool weather and I’ve always loved the things associated with this time of year. Changing leaves, pumpkins, sweaters, warm socks, soup, [...]

Dinner Rush: Chorizo and Black Bean Mexican Tortas

This is one of those recipes. Neglected for over a year…a sad tale. I have mentioned Rebecca Rather on my [...]

Jalapeño Blue Cheese Burgers

Sweet fancy Moses! These burgers were my favorite out of all the burgers in the Zinnecker Burger Marathon. The burgers were moist, juicy, flavorful, delectable, mouthwatering…crazy good. I baked a bag of sweet potato fries served with spicy aioli (courtesy of Carrie Hartman) to accompany these burgers and they were the perfect match. I adapted [...]
