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 [...]

I love single layer cakes. They have a rustic appeal that I find immensely comforting. Most single layer cakes are charmingly homemade in appearance, requiring no special skills to decorate them. No torting layers, no stacking, no praying you avoid the dreaded buttercream belly around the side of the cake. If you decorate cakes [...]

Thanksgiving is rapidly approaching. This year I have been thinking about pumpkin desserts that are not your standard pie or bread. Don’t get me wrong, those desserts are all wonderful and I will be having at least one of them on our holiday table, but this year I wanted to shake things up. I am [...]

When life gives you left-over Salted Caramel Sauce, I say make pound cake! With fall teasing us in the Dallas area, the temperatures are fluctuating between 100 and 80, I find myself feeling very domestic. The cooler weather puts me in the mood to putter around the house organizing books, clearing out closets, and whipping [...]

The weather here in Dallas is already starting to get warmer, and when things like strawberries start to [...]

Oh baby, it is COLD outside! The Dallas area, and most areas in the Mid-west, are enduring what I am unofficially calling ‘Ice-pocalypse 2011′. Around the Evil Shenanigans homestead the temperatures hovering around 15 F, while ice and gusty winds have made travel and work nearly impossible. When I get cooped up indoors during this [...]

I will admit, I am always looking for new ways to eat Nutella. It is probably one of the tastiest spreads out there, and I will admit to occasionally eating it straight from the jar. No, not my proudest moments. Anyway, I have been up to my eyeballs in pies this week so when it [...]

It has been pretty cold here, and I have been pretty busy. I have been busy plugging away on my cookbook and that has taken a lot of my time. So much of my time, in fact, that I have dedicated very little time to recreational baking. So, when I decided to come out of [...]
