This post is compensated and sponsored by California Walnuts. For us there are a lot of must have dishes at Thanksgiving. However, not always being the head chef, which is silly because I am great at everything food, means that I have to think of foods to contribute to a partly planned meal. Depending on […]
Discover Granola
January 30, 2015 by · 2 Comments
I don’t know why I waited so long to try my hand at granola. I guess I always thought it was pretty complicated and at times I’m not as patient as I should be in the kitchen, hence why I tend to burn bacon. So it’s weird that my kitchen patience isn’t tested by breadmaking […]

This is a sponsored post. All opinions are my own. Fall is a season which brings a peculiar light to our house. No, not the kind of natural light but one of the artificial variety as finally the weather is chilled enough to allow for 24/7 oven access. The light goes on and off depending […]
Peach French Buttercream Frosting
August 27, 2014 by · 4 Comments
Southern Peaches Yeah I’m still fascinated with southern peaches over here. I’ve been eating a couple a day and thought wouldn’t fresh peach French buttercream frosting be amazing on a cake? Who am I kidding? I love cake just as much as frosting. You never have to twist my arm to have either. But there’s […]

I didn’t really stop […]
Boozy Bimbo Blondies

If you’ve yet to notice….we like booze in our baking. I feel it just adds a little something. Not necessarily a boozy kick mind you, but the amazing flavor of a good liquor can do wonders for your baking. Don’t be afraid to try a little booze because the actual alcohol bakes off when you […]
Oatmeal Butterscotch Cookie Cheesecake
January 24, 2014 by · 1 Comment
Years ago when I used to be a librarian, I went through a cheesecake phase. Meaning I made a large variety of cheesecakes, especially ethnic ones. While this recipe doesn’t fit that bill, it does fill the cheesecake void. I love that this isn’t the classic chocolate or regular cheesecake. I don’t see a lot […]

We lucked out and got picked!! I’ve worked with Cabot Cheeses before and absolutely love their products. A branch of my family actually lives […]
Salted Apple Sliver Cake

Around the holidays, we tend to go big. Usually this means a lot of work for the payoff of great flavors. Yet, this time around we wanted to keep it a little simpler. Certainly there are a few components to this dish, but altogether it is a cake with fruit filling and frosting. Not too […]
