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 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 [...]

When Casey from Tastestopping approached me about participating in the November Kitchen Play event, how could I say no? She asked me to deconstruct the classic pumpkin pie using Libby’s 100% Pure Pumpkin from Nestlé Kitchens*. Canned pumpkin is a very versatile ingredient and is a pantry staple for me year round. It can stand [...]

Pound cake can also be the base [...]

I am a sucker for peanut butter desserts. I love peanut butter cookies, peanut butter fudge, hot peanut butter poured over ice cream, spicy peanut sauce … you name a culinary application for peanut butter and I most likely love it. So, it should come as no great surprise that, while I found myself whisking [...]

Nothing is quite like homemade, from scratch, banana pudding. Sure, you can make a passable banana pudding with instant pudding mix, but if you really want to taste something special make your custard from scratch. Once you do you will never use a box of pudding again. Besides, taking about ten minutes to cook [...]

Sounds fancy, right? Well, it is fancy but it is not as complicated as you might think. If you have never made crepes before then you need to know a few things. First, the thinner the crepe the better. Crepes are quite eggy and if you make them too thick they will overpower the dessert. [...]
