Today I cleaned out my pantry and the cabinet that houses all of the medicine, vitamins, paper goods, cookie cutters, cake decorating gadgets, and some other random junk I own. It felt so good to throw some things away and get everything organized. The most impressive things I tossed were a box of generic NyQuil [...]
This recipe is from the Tasty Kitchen blog, Pioneer Woman’s recipe sharing community. I sometimes forget to look here for recipes, but thanks to my Google Reader I am reminded to check it out every now and then when there is a new post. The site is organized well, and is easy and fun to [...]
So many components to this dessert! Two ice creams, hot fudge sauce, chocolate cake, whipped cream…and then there’s the assembly process. Whew! When I told Ben all the things I had to do, he said “Can you imagine having to do this when you were still teaching?” Yes, I can imagine that. I would have [...]
A few weeks ago I caught the end of Oprah while on the treadmill at the gym. Her guests were the contestants of the 2010 Pillsbury Bake-Off, and at the end of the show they revealed the winner of the $1,000,000 grand prize. This was the winning recipe, Mini Ice Cream Cookie Cups. These little [...]
My 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 [...]
First thing’s first…I cheated. I did not make the graham wafers. I am a terrible person. I promise to make them another time, pinky promise! I just did not have the time. Well, that is only partially true. I could have had the time if I’d actually looked at my January commitments and planned ahead. [...]
A while back I lost my Canon camera in a horrific flood. A water bottle mysteriously opened in my purse, drowning and destroying my camera. Anyway, for a while I took pictures with my iPhone. Not spectacular, but sufficient photos. Then, Ben bought me a Sony camera that has served me well for the last [...]
These little, unassuming bite-size goodies made quite an impression last weekend. I brought them to a Christmas party where they were completely devoured and raved about. I saw one of the party guests 2 days later and she asked me for the recipe. I hadn’t had such a great response to a dessert in, well…ever! I [...]
When things start to fall on you when you open the pantry door, you know some action must be taken. A box of Rice Krispies came sliding out of the pantry yesterday while I was trying to reach something else that was stashed underneath it. As fate would have it, my Martha Stewart cookie of [...]
Last week I made 3 batches of blondies hoping to create something irresistibly delicious. I originally planned on making a Candy Bar Blondie with a variety of candy bars chopped into chocolate chip sized pieces. I used a basic blondie recipe and then just replaced the chips and buts with the candy pieces. Attempt #1 resulted in [...]
