Happy National Pistachio Day! Ok, so I missed it by about 11 days but better late than never. In belated honor of this wonderful holiday I made this baklava Sunday night to accompany a Greek meal I made with my mother and sister-in-law who came to visit along with Ben’s Grandma Betty. Having company is [...]

 Print This PostMy mom sent this recipe to me. I discovered in talking with her today that the reason she sent it to me is because she was too scared to try it out herself. I have become the recipe guinea pig, and I am totally OK with that. There’s always a little bit of uncertainty when trying a new [...] By CarrieZ |
Print This PostTiramisu. Oh, I’ve made it before. I’ve made it more than once. It is simple, easy and delicious. Tiramisu is a piece of cake when you use store-bought lady fingers, a cream mixture of store-bought mascarpone cheese and sugar, and brewed coffee. This challenge uses nothing store-bought. This challenge is so much more than store-bought. [...] By CarrieZ |
Print This PostThis past weekend Ben and I went to Angel Fire, New Mexico and spent all day Saturday skiing. That’s right. I skied for the first time in 10 years. And get this, I did not fall, even once. Maybe that is because I played it safe and stayed on greens and easy blues. I was pretty proud [...] By CarrieZ |
Print This PostOur good friends Tim and Jackie had us over for the Saints v. Colts game Sunday night. There was so much food! The spread included black bean chili, queso, chips & salsa, veggies, layered Tex Mex salad, hot wings, and cookies. This is one of the main reasons I love the Superbowl. I brought the yummy layered salad and [...] By CarrieZ |
Print This PostGlad to report that I made it to Austin this weekend and got to see my pregnant sister and feel lil Kim kick, punch and hiccup a few times. Babies are amazing. I don’t think there will come a time in my life that I am not completely and totally in awe of [...] By CarrieZ |
Print This PostPaula Deen. What a woman. I actually do kind of like her! Yes, she can overdo it a bit when it comes to butter, bacon and cream, but I find her endearing. I’d like her to be in my family so that I could see her a few times a year at family functions. She’d be [...] By CarrieZ |
Print This PostWhen you describe something as being “vanilla” this may mean it is plain and simple, or it may be a more negative description meaning that something is ordinary, conventional or boring. I like vanilla ice cream, but sometimes it can be so very…vanilla. I recently bought a half gallon of Bluebell Vanilla Bean ice cream instead [...] By CarrieZ |
Print This PostAs some of you may know I have a bit of an obsession with Rebecca Rather and her bakery in Fredericksburg, Texas. I saw her there once and I was starstruck! She was signing a book for someone, and I thought about getting her to sign my face…but thought better of it. OK, so I [...] By CarrieZ |
Print This PostLike most kids do at some point in their lives, I once had a bit of an obsession with fire and burning little objects. It wasn’t a huge deal. I stuck to simple things like notebook paper and tissues. My days of burning things came to an abrupt end when I tried to burn the [...] |
