May and June are all about travel. My first bit or travel has come and gone. I spent a weekend in the mountains of California eating, drinking, learning, and making friends at Camp Blogaway! It was my first year to attend, and I had the distinct honor of speaking on the subject of Beating Blogger [...]

Creamy potatoes, smothered in cheese, are my idea of heaven. April has been a super busy month for me. I was hired to do the photography for a cookbook and my deadline is the 30th. So, while I have been very busy in the kitchen lately, almost all of it is for the photography project [...]

Nothing beats a well made biscuit. When I first started to get interested in cooking I spent a lot of time learning about southern comfort foods. I was raised by two generations of Texas women who grew up on southern food, so the food of my childhood leaned heavily toward traditional, stick-to-your-ribs fare. Biscuits were [...]

I have been something of a baby lately. As you may know, I have been on a medical scavenger hunt for almost two months now. I have already endured numerous tests, trips to the emergency room, and visits to doctors and specialists. For as long as I can remember I have hated doctors. I may [...]

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 [...]

I know, the ‘Big Game’ is this weekend … but I have a shocking confession to make. I kind of don’t like football. We are a hockey family which means we love the quick pace, the action, the inevitable bout of teeth shattering fisticuffs, and the blare of the goal horn when someone tips the [...]

Last week I discovered that my local specialty market carries fresh yuzu when they are in season. I have never seen it fresh before, we usually only get the bottled juice if we are lucky, so I snatched up a few for experimenting. When I got them home and presented them to my husband, [...]

I am a sucker for a good grilled cheese sandwich. Not just any grilled cheese, mind. Yes, growing up I loved grilled cheese sandwiches made from processed cheese slices and that cotton candy white bread. Let’s just say my palate has matured. These days I have some pretty strict standards for grilled cheese. They are [...]
