The cookbook that gave me macaroon pie also gave me the base for this pie. It is a buttermilk pie, but in putting it together I thought to myself, “What flavors could I add to this pie to make it less simple and plain?” The answer from my creative inner self was…eggnog! I had nutmeg [...]

 Print This PostLike many other people who are dealing with the less than stellar economy, Ben and I have tried to be more aware of what we spend, what we buy, what we waste, and how we can be a bit wiser with our money. My baking and cooking habits are a big part of our [...] By CarrieZ |
Print This PostWhen 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 [...] By CarrieZ |
Print This PostI have too many cooking magazines, too many cookbooks, and way too many printed recipes from various websites. Even if I were to cook something from one of these sources everyday, there is no possible way that I could exhaust my recipe stockpile in my lifetime. I don’t help the situation by buying more cookbooks, [...] By CarrieZ |
Print This PostMy parents came up from Round Rock to visit for a day on their way to Oklahoma City. They also came to drop off my amazing Swedish truck! I am not quite sure where to put it yet. It’s one of the biggest pieces in our house other than our bed and the couch which [...] By CarrieZ |

It’s the cheesiest and it doesn’t stick to your cookware like real cheese does. I honestly and truly like, and sometimes I even crave the unnatural orange colored pasta dish in its [...] By CarrieZ |

These Greek burgers were the first in our series of burgers, and I thought they were delicious. I love feta cheese, so [...] By CarrieZ |
Print This PostI survived my first 2 days with 6th graders. I realized that I’ve kinda missed teaching. I didn’t miss staying at school for 11 hours, getting home after 6pm, sitting down and realizing just how exhausting it can be to be on your feet all day, well, except for a 25 minute lunch. That’s right [...] By CarrieZ |
Print This PostThese little “cookies” are pretty tasty and incredibly easy to make. Since these cookies are ball shaped they reminded me more of a truffle and less of a cookie. From start to finish, including the 30 minutes chilling time, these were ready in less than an hour. Pretty close to instant gratification. I used a [...] By CarrieZ |
Print This PostI made SmittenKitchen’s raspberry buttermilk cake a few weeks ago. The cake was so lovely that I decided to try it with some different additions. Since I had blueberries, half a bag of raw blanched almonds and a tube of almond paste already on hand…that’s what I used. The other ingredients in the cake are [...] |
