When life gets busy I turn to easy comfort foods. I am currently working, quite furiously, on my next book. In fact, I just passed the half way point! My work on the book, as well as my trips to BlogHer and IFBC New Orleans, mean that this month I will not have as much [...]

This post comes with a free bonus!! Of course, all my content is free but in this case you get a super secret look at my VERY FAVORITE hot dog toppings! As you most likely know, if you watch the news at all, Texas is having a massive heat wave that is causing one of [...]

This has been an exciting week for me! I am so happy to let you know that I am going to write a second cookbook! It will be another book about pies, because you can’t have too much pie I suppose, but this book will be different than the last in that it will focus [...]

These cupcakes were born of necessity. Originally this batch of cupcakes was intended to be a full fledged cake, but due to my rather appalling laziness the pans I had intended to use were dirty when the urge to bake struck. When I say dirty I mean stuck on, needing a good soak, burnt on [...]

Boy, has it been a LONG week … For the second time in three weeks I have gone AWOL, and I am sorry for that. I was hoping that after my last bout of family related drama things would quiet down, but it was not to be. Last week my father was feeling a little [...]

Sometimes you will be bopping along, and then … WHAM!! Life is unpredictable. Often when you least expect it things go all pear shaped. That has happened in my life over the last week, and it is also why I have been relatively quiet. Things are working themselves out now, but it will be a [...]

I guess you could say I have Georgia on my mind. It makes sense considering I was in Atlanta last weekend for BlogHer Food. Now, I could use this space to discuss the actual event, but I don’t think it is necessary. So many bloggers have posted their thoughts, Linda and Dianne for example, and [...]

I am the kind of person who appreciates texture. Texture is a make or break for me, particularly in food. Example – I love the flavor of pears but the grainy, sandy texture is a real turn off. On the other hand, a plain hamburger bun is fine, but sprinkled with crunchy little poppy seeds [...]
