Well, how was your 2012? All-in-all, mine was pretty fantastic! My mom survived a medical scare, and this is what I am most grateful for, but other bright spots include the release of my two latest cookbooks, speaking at Camp Blogaway and BlogHer Food, and discovering that – after cleaning out 12 garbage bags of [...]
Do you know about October Unprocessed? Well, Andrew Wilder over at Eating Rules created a challenge – one month of clean eating meaning you cut out processed foods and eat whole, natural, real food. I love real food! I can’t remember the last time I used a packaged product, or something with insane ingredients, to [...]
I am not usually happy to see summer go. Summer fruits and berries are leaving the markets. Just thinking about the end of peach makes me terribly sad! In Texas this time of year also means you have to keep an eye on the weather. One day it will be warm and sticky, the next [...]
This post comes to you from damply beautiful Seattle, Washington! Yes, kids, I am in Seattle for BlogHer Food 2012 and not just as an attendee, but I am speaking! I am nervous, but terribly excited, and ready to get the party started! The last month has been a CRAZY travel month for me. First, [...]
No matter the problem, I feel like cream puffs are always the solution. With February firmly behind me I was really looking forward to a new month not riddled with medical issues for both me and my family. We did not get off to an encouraging start, with my husband battling a hacking cough and [...]
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 [...]
Happy Independence Day!! If you live in the States it is time for fireworks, parades, and celebrating the birth of our nation. I am planning to spend a great deal of this long weekend in my kitchen because what celebration is complete with out some really good food? I am always looking for inspiration, and [...]
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 [...]
Who says beer can’t be for breakfast? The folks at Foodbuzz joined with the New Belgium Brewing Company to offer a group of bloggers the opportunity* to create a recipe using their fine, fine beers. I have been a New Belgium fan for as long as I have enjoyed beer. I even own a few [...]
I am a sucker for just about anything strawberry. We have reached that time of year where I start to crave all things Spring. Knowing it it just around the corner makes me anxious for its arrival. The weather here in Dallas is already starting to get warmer, and when things like strawberries start to [...]
