Easter Kit Kat Cake

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…

Rosemary Apricot Bread

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…

Spicy Chicken Caesar Salad

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…

Grilled Pineapple Sundae

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…

Pineapple Sorbet

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…

Cottage Dill Loaf

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…

Everything Pretzels with ShaSha Sauce

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…

Toasted Coconut Ice Cream

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…
