all in the name of food…

My Mom used to make these cinnamon rolls growing up! I have many memories of carefully selecting a roll with the most frosting or the most spirals from two big cookie sheets full of cinnamon rolls. They are just delicious! The original recipe is actually from my Grandma, so really they are made from my [...]

This past week has been a week of many food failures. Food failures cut me deep. They put me in a bad mood because of the great anticipation I generally have at trying a new recipe. Not to mention it usually means I end up picking at my dinner and eating a bowl of cereal [...]

Stop. I know what you’re thinking. This is another one of those recipes for homemade oreos that uses a box of devil’s cake and a chunk of cream cheese as filling. Well happy surprise, its not! I spent a great deal of time last night making these delicious homemade oreos and also launched into a [...]

 Need a mid-week pick me up? Do you have 15 minutes? Awesome – that means you can make this gourmet dessert for two tonight! Last night I surprised Nate, who had to work late, with a delicious artichoke tomato spaghetti and this old fashioned maple-walnut pudding. It is deceivingly easy to prepare and is good warm [...]

This year, like years before, involved lots of Christmas candy making for me! Ever since I can remember I’ve made fudge and caramels at Christmas time. This Christmas my sister-in-laws and I decided to go all out and make homemade fudge truffles. I got inspired after being a bridesmaid in my best friend’s wedding and [...]

They will also fill your kitchen with that yummy pumpkin spice aroma! The filling [...]

So what if I’m the kind of person…
Who spends 2 hours making cupcakes for a Halloween party…
Happy Happy Halloween!

Hello readers! I don’t think there are that many of you, but sorry for my lack of recent posts. Last week I took my last finals of college, walked in graduation, and was a bridesmaid in my friend Kasee’s wedding. Then Nathan and I packed up our little apartment (which turned out to be not [...]

Calling all berry lovers – I have a new favorite summer dessert! It’s an English Trifle with fresh berries, spongy angel food cake, sweet cream cheese, and a hint of almond. In the past I’ve made trifle with pudding and frozen berries. But this recipe is so much better! Not to mention it can be [...]

Who doesn’t love cake?  Every time I have to bring something to a dinner or party I always volunteer to bring dessert.  Partially because I have a HUGE sweet tooth! (and a crippling weakness for chocolate) but mostly because I don’t know how to make any salads. Seriously. I’m working on the salad thing though. [...]
