Saturday was a rainy, dreary day here in Nashville. Perfect for baking, if you ask me! This cake is long overdue for an appearance on the blog. Punch Bowl Cake has a lot of history in my family. My mom would make this cake…
I hope everyone had a great 4th of July! Yesterday was a fun day of cooking for the 4th and then watching fireworks. The 4th and ringing in the New Year are my favorite holidays and I think it’s because of the fireworks. Since…
I’m sure you’ll recognize these Unbaked Fudge Cookies. Everyone’s got their own version it seems and I’ve even seen them in grocery store bakeries. They’re a classic. What I like best about the cookies is not that they taste like they could be make…
If you follow me on social media, you would have seen my enormous cookbook collection Saturday. Well, at least part of it. I love a good cookbook. I will curl up to a cookbook like it’s a novel. I thought it was funny to…
Last weekend was a whirlwind food weekend (and I am not complaining)! Sweet Julie from Table for Two was in town and of course the whole weekend revolved around eating! Saturday night for dinner we went to Mason’s Southern Provisions with a small group…

This past weekend I made a visit to Dipped Delights at the West Nashville Farmers’ Market. They are a local company specializing in chocolate bark. I’d been planning on trying out their chocolate bark for months and finally had the chance. Oh man have…
I’ve been planning this dessert for months. It’s a sweet treat for a coworker who turns the big 3-0 today! Happy Birthday, Ryan! He loves lemon, so I wanted to do something that would have this beautiful Lemon Curd in it. I narrowed it…
I hope you take a moment to read about these Stuffed Potatoes with Roasted Veggies. I know from the picture they look like ordinary baked potatoes. Who cares right? You’d be missing out though! A few posts back I told you that I’m trying…
I hate it when a good pasta dish goes bad because of crappy pasta. This is my second time cooking with whole-grain/whole-wheat pasta, and it’s my last. I don’t care for the texture or the taste. I already had a tough start with this…
