Exploring Culinary Delights and Unforgettable Destinations.
I didn’t grow any beets this year. I didn’t bother to try, because in past years the rabbits have eaten them. Buying beets from the farmer’s market is a good compromise (and a great way to support local growers). The most important piece of advice […]
Oh my gosh, you guys. I’ve always liked eclairs, but have never really loved them. These Dark Chocolate Eclairs have completely converted me though! The light, airy shell is filled with a dark chocolate filling and then topped with a shiny chocolate ganache. All of those elements come […]
At some point this summer, I’m sure you’ve seen it. Almost positive you’ve seen it. The lame, hasn’t-changed-since-the-1980s fruit salad. You know exactly what I’m talking about. It has melons and grapes and strawberries. If you’re lucky, it has some kiwi too. I think it’s […]
We had extra bananas on hand, so I thought why not bake with them! My typical go-to baked good with bananas is Banana bread. But I wanted to make something more sweeter and more special 🙂 – I thought Banana Cake. Although they seem similar, […]
I just flew in from Miami and, boy, are my arms tired. Did I just say that? Apparently, my husband’s old man humor is rubbing off on me. I did just get back from a blogging conference in Miami, BlogHer Food ’14. While I was there, […]
Okay friends, let’s talk about tips for the best baked doughnuts. Now these are baked, so we already avoid the main frustrations of frying and dough-rising and all that jazz. Though I use my stand mixer to whip up this batter (because it is very […]
Pierogi happen to be one of my favorite types of dumplings. Did you know, by the way, that the plural of pierogi is pierogi? It’s like fish or deer, only tastier and more fun to say. So I can say “I ate all the pierogi […]
I will admit to being extremely exhausted, but in the best possible way. It’s a little rough adjusting to the 9-5 schedule when you’re used to 11-4; but like I said, it’s a good kind of tired. I have an absolutely wonderful group of students […]
Friends, strata is another word for “breakfast casserole”. I’m sure at least a few of you have heard this term. I can’t be the only one who uses this word to describe a breakfast casserole that involves day-old or stale bread and a combination of […]
So, as you can imagine, it snowed again up here in NJ, and this time it stuck. Though I absolutely adore the snow, since it makes singing “Let it Snow” and “Winter Wonderland” so much more fitting, I vastly underestimated my dislike of ice. Ice, […]
I posted a fruit cobbler not too long ago and made a promise to my readers that I would make – and post – my own favorite, reliable, best ever Peach Cobbler recipe before the end of peach season. Well, I never break a promise. Mostly. (And […]
Good morning web friends!! I’m sure everyone out there has had days (and weeks) when it feels like you are constantly on the go and there is always more to get done. This week, I’ve been busy at work, plus trying to get my site […]

Finding a perfect apple bread recipe has been on my to-do list for a LONG time. Over the last few years, I have tried (and failed) countless times to create a delicious apple bread and make the recipe one of my staples. I tried recipe […]
There are few things that can be considered more delightful than fresh, warm blueberry bread. It makes your house smell incredible and is the perfect thing to enjoy for breakfast or serve as a quick treat for guests. Though I am still reveling in the […]
