Every once in a while I like to bust out my waffle iron for a lazy Sunday morning treat. I wanted a waffle maker for the longest time, and then my Mom’s best friend gave me one for Christmas! Amazing! It’s been a bit of trial and error to find a good recipe, and this......
In my ongoing obsession with all things buffalo, I saw this recipe on How Sweet It Is, and made it right away (well a couple of weeks ago, but I’m working through my backlog here). It’s seasonally inappropriate with its lack of vegetables and use of two spots on the stove, plus the oven (hot kitchen!), but......
***If you’re here looking for Dale’s pulled pork recipe, it has yet to be posted on the President’s Choice website. I’ll add the link when it’s posted. Thanks for visiting!***   Update: Here it is! (on Food Network’s website)   Only seven cheftestants are left! We’re definitely narrowing down the field. This week’s episode starts......
  My niece Amy turned three at the end of May, and of course as soon as Matthew’s school bus cake was done, I started thinking about which treats I wanted to make for her princess party. Every pretty princess needs some pretty pink princess cupcakes, and this recipe from Smitten Kitchen was perfect. I’m......
  I’m in a rhubarb frenzy! Or I was two weeks ago, since I’m a little bit behind over here. Like all spring/summer fruit, there’s such a short window of time when rhubarb is in season, so you really have to take advantage of it, and I think that makes it okay to go a......
I realize Mother’s Day was three weeks ago, but I’ve got a bit of a blogging backlog going on right now, due to some technical difficulties that left me internet-less at home for the last few weeks. Quick shout-out to my brother for fixing things up; he was thanked with the rest of the Cowboy......
Thank you for all your comments after last week’s (rage-inducing) episode! Just one more interesting follow-up point before we get to this week’s show: Kristine remembered that on a Season 2 episode of Top Chef, the winner of the Elimination Challenge had their dish featured nationwide on the menu of T.G.I.Friday’s, so this wasn’t the first time a chain restaurant......
Sorry for the late recap this week! I’ve been having some technical difficulties, and also I was distracted during this week’s episode so I had to re-watch it online. To be honest, I was annoyed by this whole episode, as you can see by the length of this post.    This episode started off with......
  Howdy y’all! Welcome to my first Baked Sunday Morning! This is an online baking group that is working through Baked Explorations one recipe at a time. You guys have already seen and probably eaten a few things from this book: Sweet & Salty Brownies, Red Velvet Whoopie Pies, and Chocolate Mint Thumbprints.  I thought jumping into the group would be......
You guys, I knew this was going to be a good episode when I saw my Food Network boyfriend in the preview on the weekend!  The show kicks off with a disclaimer that the food prepared in this episode may not appeal to all viewers and that all proteins used are federally and HACCP approved......
