I am kind of over pumpkin. ‘Tis the season for the pumpkin latte, pumpkin cheesecake, pumpkin mac and cheese, pumpkin oatmeal, and pumpkin EVERYTHING. I swear if I see another pumpkin recipe I may start punching things. It isn’t that I dislike pumpkin – in fact I really like it – but SO many people [...]

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, [...]

So, the New Year is well underway and so many people I know are keen to eat healthy. I have nothing against eating a well balanced diet that incorporates healthy ingredients and cooking techniques with occasional indulgences thrown in to keep cravings in check. In fact, that is how I try to live my life [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

You would think I would be over pies. It is true that after writing Everything Pie (due out in September and available for pre-order at the link to your right) I would never want to bake another pie again. For a while that was true, but after a few pie-free months I noticed that I [...]

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 [...]
