When I hear the ingredients “bacon and eggs,” immediately breakfast comes to mind. Quiche, scrambled eggs, frittatas, omelets, breakfast bakes are all dishes where bacon and eggs are natural partners. So this month when Kristin assigned us bacon and eggs as our ingredients for Improv Challenge I could shake the breakfast brainstorm. It’s totally where [...]

Caramel and pretzels. These two ingredients are natural partners, in my humble opinion. You know me, I’m all about the whole salty/sweet combo and caramel and pretzels epitomize this combination. So you can probably imagine just how very thrilled I was to see that for this month’s Behind the Curtain Dessert Challenge these two ingredients [...]

Shamrock shakes, they’ve been done. In fact, they’re probably overdone and I completely missed the bandwagon. I see them come through my Twitter feed, Facebook or Pinterest each year around this time and I always say to myself, “Hey Self! Get on it and make those sometime.” Then I get busy, forget and before I [...]

Happy Valentine’s Day! I’m not so big on this holiday. Never have been. I’m even less enthralled with it since I got married mostly because I have the good fortune of being married to a man who honestly makes nearly ever day feel like Valentine’s Day. I get little notes in the most obscure places. [...]

Sometimes as I sit down to write, I’m met with the dreaded writer’s block. I stare at the vast, white screen before me with only the never-ending blink of the cursor awaiting my words. It’s that cursor, sitting… waiting, that makes it even harder for something to come to me. Today is one of those [...]

In my humble opinion, there’s really nothing better than cake. Hmm… well, maybe the only thing better than cake is handheld cake. I’m talking about whoopie pies people! Some people think of these little delights more like cookies while others think they’re more like cake. I’m on the cake side of the fence but we [...]

It’s a brand new year and with that comes change and resolutions. So many resolutions involve eating healthier, losing weight, or exercising more. If your resolution sounds something like that, I suppose you can eat these virtually guilt-free since 3/4 of the ingredients are fat-free. Right? At least that’s what I keep telling myself. I [...]
