I’ve had this cake planned for weeks to bring to work for Easter. I couldn’t wait for them to see my Easter Kit Kat Cake. After my cousin posted a similar cake on Facebook, I thought it was the cutest ever. Almost too cute…
Ever notice when you need dried fruit, it comes in ginormous amounts? I’ve been looking for different ways to use the box of dried apricots I have in my pantry. Knowing that I almost always have all of the ingredients for bread baking on…
I struggled a bit with this recipe being named Spicy Chicken Caesar Salad. Although it’s very good (after some tweaking from the original), it’s not going to taste like what you’d find in your favorite restaurant. Caesar salad has to be one of the…
I’ve been teasing you for a little over two weeks now about a decadent sundae. The wait is over! I took my Toasted Coconut Ice Cream and swirled it with my Pineapple Sorbet to create this incredible Grilled Pineapple Sundae. I discovered this sundae…
I had a very special reason to bake these cupcakes. One of my new year’s resolutions was to volunteer at least once a month and I’m happy to report that I haven’t broken it yet! It had been a few years since I visited…
I love Twitter for a slew of reasons. I’ve only been on for about a year I think, and I have some pretty fabulous friends now because of it. Another reason? You can butt in to conversations which lead to tasty lunches! About a…
You’re going to see some low-calorie, healthy dishes pop up a little more on the blog. I’m on a “diet” so to speak (hey, bathing suit season is coming way too fast!), yet I don’t feel like I’m dieting because I’m making some tasty…
I love fresh pineapple. It’s sweet, it’s tart, it’s juicy, and oh so refreshing. I’ll eat so much of it in one sitting that the inside of my mouth hurts from all the acidity. I don’t care, it’s worth the pain. So for my…
As much as I enjoy cooking, it’s nice to have a dish that makes several servings and keeps well in the freezer. This Chicken Enchilada Casserole is just that. When I don’t have time to cook or I need a to grab something for…
Since I cook quite a bit at home and I don’t plan very well for multiple meals, I always have random ingredients leftover in the fridge. This time it was cottage cheese. I actually like cottage cheese straight up, but it’s much more fun…
I found the recipe for these Everything Pretzels back around Super Bowl time. I was drooling all over the magazine. I am a sucker for anything that’s “everything,” since I find it terribly hard to choose between flavors most times. I’m also a lover…
I’m really enjoying making ice cream at home. So much so, that I’ve gone a bit crazy and my freezer is stocked! I’m prepared for warm weather, whenever it wants to get to Nashville and stay for a while. But I would eat ice…
