Jen said it best: Baking for others is a lot more fun and rewarding than just baking for the sake of it. Not long ago, Amanda from I am Baker put out the call for folks that might need a pick-me-up. A little surprise to let them know how much they’re loved. She dubbed it …

Remember when I made those delicious pork egg rolls? Well, as James and I rolled them out, we realized we’d have a few extra egg roll wrappers hanging around after we worked through the pork filling. My mind immediately flew back to one of the most incredible desserts I’ve ever had: the Banana and Sea …
Last week was pretty crazy around here. Between celebrating B & B’s anniversary, and dealing with a very sick cat that ended up in the Vet ER for several days, I thought I might lose a little bit of my mind. Milo before he got poorly sick, on his favorite blankie. It used to be …
This giveaway is now closed. Congratulations to Sharon O.! Sharon, I hope you enjoy all that wonderful coffee! I never cease to think of how blessed I am to have fallen head over heels in love with Green Mountain Coffee. Little did I know when we bought our Keurig back in 2007 that before …
It’s my favorite day again: Fritos Friday! I swear, I will eventually move away from pushing Fritos into candy and dessert applications, but right now, I’m really having fun with it. Fritos Chocolate Crunchies are no exception. The idea comes directly from Kaleta Doolin’s book, Fritos Pie, but I have no idea if this recipe …

We’re not an overly religious family, so any religious holiday has typically been spent just appreciating each other as a family and being thankful that we have each other. I hope that it’s obvious from …
A while back, I happened upon an NPR sponsored radio show, Hidden Kitchens: Texas, narrated by Willie Nelson. Listening to talk radio is not normally my thing, but I was intrigued by the description: “the Texas experience through food and the stories of people who find it, grow it, cook it, sell it, celebrate with …
Today’s guest post comes to you not from a fellow food blogger, but from a dear friend. Jenny and I have known each other since high school, through her husband Nate. Nate and I were best friends throughout high school, and our sisters played volley ball together, so we occasionally ended up staring off into …
I’m super stoked today to have Jamie from My Baking Addiction guest posting for y’all. To quote something Jamie says often, I love her more than cheesecake. She’s my sounding board, one of my best friends, and often referred to by my Brit as “the other woman” – simply because she’s the only person that …
I’ve been in Texas since December 24th, and in terms of weather, it’s been absolutely blissful. Not even the teensiest threat of snow, I tell you! But of course, in true Murphy’s Law fashion, the northeast has had hardly a winter at all, with only one real sticking snowfall so far. But you know, no …
