Smoked Gouda is easily in my top 3 favorite cheeses. It’s pretty incredible by itself, fantastic in grits, and the star of the show in this Ham & Smoked Gouda Pasta Salad. If you can boil water, you can make this pasta salad in…
If you’ve never heard of or tasted a poke cake, you’ve been missing out. It’s a cake you literally poke holes in so a filling can ooze down in it. I’ve been making a strawberry version for a long time, but for some odd…
I was looking for an individual-sized sweet treat to share with my classmates on our last day of class this past Monday. I wanted something fairly easy to make since I was running low on time last weekend. Searching through one of my favorite…
I can easily eat a big bowl of fruit by itself, but adding a few more ingredients to make Honey Lime Fruit Salad really makes it a special side. You can choose any kind of fruit that you like, just be sure it’s fresh.…
I first made this sandwich years ago for a picnic with friends. It’s been on my list to make again soon so I can share it with you and have the recipe on my blog. This past weekend was the perfect time to make…
I think it’s odd to start a post on something you’ve made with “I really don’t like this but…”, but I seem to have fallen victim to this. It started on my baked oatmeal post and now I’m doing it again. Perhaps my taste…
Goat Cheese Sandwiches with Honey & Fig

It’s been all about the madeleines on my blog lately. I wasn’t kidding when I said I went crazy baking them! I’ve shared Vanilla Madeleines and Chocolate Madeleines so far, but the flavor that sealed the deal on my love for these little cakes…
Mmm, burgers! I eat them year round of course, but it’s during the summer you really start thinking about them. I don’t think there’s a burger that I’d turn down, and while I enjoy the classic, I like to experiment with different meats, toppings,…
Last week I shared Vanilla Madeleines with you. I bought my first madeleine pan and went crazy making them. I’m a girl that likes variety, so not only did I make the original vanilla, but also Chocolate Madeleines. I’m a chocoholic, so I was…
I know you’re not supposed to pick favorites, but come on, we all do it. I think it was just about a year ago when my friend Lindsay from Love & Olive Oil was testing recipes for her first cookbook, The Cookie Dough Lover’s…
I know the song is “Sweet Caroline,” but I couldn’t help but sing “Sweet Madeleine” when I was making these Vanilla Madeleines. Yes, I get silly in the kitchen. iPod cranked, there may be dance moves involved and a big spoon that doubles as…
