Exploring Culinary Delights and Unforgettable Destinations.
A few weeks ago, I was at the store (go figure), and I was there to pick up eggs for my kids. Well, two of the good eating kids, they really love eggs. No matter how you cook them, scrambled or fried, but they’re big […]
If you love bananas in every way, form or shape, you must do these bars. I usually don’t agree with something with all my heart because I know we all have different tastes, but seriously … try them. If you don’t have any over-ripe bananas […]
Pineapple upside-down cake is my favorite upside-down cake. This classic dish never goes out of style and is definitely a party favor. Pineapple Upside Down Cake is a throwback to the 1920s when canned foods were all the rage. It’s beautiful, glittering slices of sweet, […]
Well, other than the fact that I serve Mint on Thanksgiving… and will probably be serving Red Velvet on Christmas in preparation for Valentine’s Day. I guess that one kind of works! The other thing is I’m afraid of cheesecake. So terrified. I look at […]
I’m in a bit of denial and I’m guessing I’m not the only one that is having this problem. You guys, it’s the end of summer. We are watching the last few weeks of summer slip away from us and it’s a bit depressing. This […]
Tell me: are you guys ready for the pumpkin? PUMPKIN?! Our summer is so short (okay, relatively short) here in Manitoba that fall always seems to come too early. But my birthday is in September, and I’ve always kind of loved back to school time… maybe that’s […]
My youngest son turned three recently, and I had a hard time deciding what to take to school for his birthday celebration. (Do you notice a trend? I have decision anxiety on a regular basis!) First, it was going to be mini chocolate banana muffins. […]
I have a bit of a cherry cheesecake problem right now. Which is unfortunate for you if you don’t really like cherries, Or cheesecake. Because this is my second cherry cheesecake recipe in a row. But listen! I’m pregnant. (Right? Aren’t I allowed to use […]
I had my very first Sloppy Joe yesterday. I got the recipe from my father’s friends in Texas. I want to thank you with this message, as it is probably one of my new “Lazy Wednesday” dinners. The lightly sweet taste is what makes it […]
This pumpkin bread recipe is my all-time favorite pumpkin bread recipe. I released a chocolate chip version last year and the original maple and brown butter glazed bread a few years ago, but sometimes you just want a slice of pumpkin bread with no frills. […]
I’ve been cooking oven fries so long and I’ve done them in so many different ways that I was shocked that I didn’t post a blog about each of them.! Maybe, though, that was because I was waiting for a really great recipe to come […]
While flipping through the channels one evening, James asked if there was a show on Food Network dedicated to dessert. I told him that there was not. Strange thing happened shortly thereafter. Dessert First was introduced! I think he is a little psychic or something. […]
The cake is dense and super moist, topped with vanilla bean whipped cream. On top of that are little bites of amazingly flavorful vanilla wafers that have been coated in a brown sugar mixture to make a toffee and then baked until crisp. You had […]
I saw this very recently over at Cook Like a Champion and the only thing that stopped me from making it that day was that I was almost out of sugar (the horror). I definitely picked up sugar during my weekly grocery store trip and […]
Everyone thinks of chocolate cake when they think of a Texas sheet cake, but I decided to make a white version with white chocolate chips sprinkled on top. It’s a quick and easy white cake recipe and you don’t even need to use a blender. […]
