Here’s Easter Dessert #2, which would have saved the day if I couldn’t find a store that was open on Easter morning. I had all the ingredients at home because I was going to make this sometime in March but ended up doing something else. This recipe comes from the blog Patent and the Pantry, which......
When I collapsed into bed last Saturday night after getting in late from the airport, my last thoughts before I fell asleep were of the Coconut Cupcakes I was planning to make for Easter dessert. I figured I would get up early, hit the grocery store, and have lots of time to bake and......
While I’m in Florida, Lydia has been busy “baking” Easter treats at home. She sent me this picture, and I asked her to write a guest blog post. Here’s what she had to say: Not sure if I’m blog worthy…they are called… Mother of a 3 month old Brownies Buy 2 bite brownies Buy vanilla frosting......
I have always maintained that St. Patrick’s Day in the real world will never be as fun as it was in university. The campus pub opened at 10am, keg parties started around the same time and lasted all day, there was green beer everywhere, and people pre-drinking in class. Now, when SPD falls on......
Over on Annie’s Eats, Annie decorates these cookies for every holiday and event you can think of: Christmas, Valentine’s Day, Halloween, Baby Showers, Weddings, Housewarmings etc. Danielle and I have been obsessing over these cookies for the longest time. She actually made them at Christmastime, and they looked amazing! I was amped to try them......
Last Oscar Dinner post – our treat for dessert. These were my first ever gluten-free baking success last year, and have been approved by both my g-f experts Aoife & Jill. They taste like marshmallows, are made of six easy ingredients, and best of all, only use one bowl! This weekend I also hit sugar on the......
Continuing with our Oscar night dinner, here’s a quick post about Sweet & Spicy pecans. I added them to a big green salad we ate alongside the Roasted Tomato & Goat Cheese Tart, as well as some slices of apple, homemade croutons and a simple vinaigrette with olive oil, white wine vinegar, and dijon mustard. Sweet &......
These are the little apps we munched on while we watched the eTalk Red-Carpet special, trashed George’s girlfriend, and played fashion police. Nicole and I made these little triangles for our Smitten Kitchen Christmas dinner (which I will write a Retro-blog post about!) with a spinach & feta filling and another batch with a caramelized onion......
Kristine and I take our awards shows very seriously. I’ve written before about the Superbowl of awards shows, the Golden Globes. The Oscars have all the prestige though, but they are just soooooo loooong, you have a lot of categories we don’t care about (Sound Mixing, Editing, Documentary Short Subject), and by this point in......
My mouth is watering just thinking about this. I was super excited to hit tomatoes on the re-introduction list. What more is there to say? I think everyone grew up eating some variation of this dinner. In our house, the sauce either came out of a jar or a can (Sorry Mom!) and it was one......
