Date May 17, 2010

The plan all week was to head over to John Muir National Forest for a hike through the woods on Saturday morning, but when Saturday morning arrived, a lazy car trip and lunch at a small coastal town sounded even better. And it was. Get the flash… Don’t stop now…keep reading!

And the Best of the Best Above All the Rest

Date December 30, 2009

Fruit Soup! I know. I wouldn’t have believed it myself but this traditional Swedish food received nothing but rave reviews from everyone! Swedes, non-Swedes and most impressively children of all ages who had no idea what it was, tasted a… Don’t stop now…keep reading!

Paula Deen and Anita’s Lemonized Sour Cream Pound Cake

Date December 29, 2009

This photo could have been taken just about anytime during the month of December but as it was, it was taken a couple days before Christmas with only two cooking projects remaining before I entered the “I’m so done with being in this kitchen”… Don’t stop now…keep reading!

Date December 19, 2009

Date December 11, 2009

From gingerbread houses and sugar icing to green salads in the span of one post! How’s that for a smooth transition! But more than I love gingerbread I love salad. I’ve probably spent the better part of four years accumulated time grazing over… Don’t stop now…keep reading!

Roasted Cauliflower Candy

Date December 2, 2009

Nutella Oatmeal Thins

Date November 23, 2009

I originally found this recipe for Nutella Oatmeal Thins over at Baking Bites three months ago and since then have made them four or five times.  They are the very one and the same cookies that led to my great internet fame, or infamy as it… Don’t stop now…keep reading!

I. Am. So. Ready.
