We finally moved back in to our apartment and the kitchen is almost done. I’d say 94% finished and we’re hoping to share pictures soon. It dawned on me yesterday that I haven’t cooked, really cooked, since March, when we moved out of our old apartment. First, we didn’t have a kitchen. Then, I had […]

Green Bean Soup (for the Slow Cooker)
Thursday, June 10, 2010
Finally! We moved, but it’s not all smooth sailing yet. We’re living out of boxes and we don’t have a kitchen yet. While our perfect kitchen is being built (which we will be talking about soon), I’m going to have to get crafty. I do have many plug-in appliances (rice cooker, toaster oven, panini press, […]

Almond Meringues with Dulce de Leche
Sunday, February 28, 2010
Since I posted that incredibly easy method for making Dulce de Leche, I’m sure you’ve been wondering what I was going to do with it. Yeah, me too. Ideas have been tumbling around, but each one gets pushed to the back of my mind. I’ve been distracted with all the details of moving. Normally, I […]
Dulce de Leche Made in the Can
Thursday, February 25, 2010
Sure Dulce de Leche sounds fancy, but it’s just like caramel but more milky. MMM, creamy caramelized sugar…GOOOOD. The best part is, it’s insanely easy to make. Insanely! How can I stress this enough? So easy my dog could do it (if she had thumbs). So easy my dad could do it. (My dad has […]
Caramel Macchiato Cupcakes

It was time to make something special for Winnie’s birthday. Besides that, I kind of owe her. She was one of my first friends in college, possibly the second person I met. We were sitting next to each other in an economics class (theater style seating) when I just fell asleep on her. I had […]
Blueberry Topped Fiori di Sicilia Cake
Sunday, February 7, 2010
It was time to make a birthday cake for my little brother, Justin, 6 foot 1 inch tall and about twice my weight, but still my little brother. He doesn’t really get excited about cake so I struggled a little over this one. Lon reminded me that Justin isn’t into frosting. It seems he often […]
Blueberry Coconut Cream Cake

It was Angie’s birthday and Angie is a Taste Bud, a term I’ve given to friends who share my love of food and have impeccable taste. I get restaurant recommendations from her all the time. You can thank her for introducing us to Degustation, Eletarria (closed now), The Red Head, and many more. She’s no […]
Chocolate Peanut Butter Footballs

I’m gearing up for Superbowl, and in my world, that has nothing to do with the sport, the teams, or wherever it’s located. Where is the Superbowl? For me, it’s just another excuse to eat, cook, and be merry. Yup, I’ll be throwing you a couple of ideas for your party and I think a […]
My Black & White Cookies
Thursday, January 7, 2010
You may be thinking that this does not look exactly like the Black & White Cookie you just bought at the deli/bakery/bagel shop. You are right. I’ve changed this long time classic.
You see, I made classic Black & White Cookies from Carole Walter’s Great Cookies book. These big waist busting beauties were very good. I […]
