This past weekend I had a cookie swap to attend and so I went perusing foodnetwork.com to find a recipe. I came across these peppermint chocolate sandwich cookies by Giada and thought they sounded fun and looked festive. It called for refrigerated sugar cookie dough, but I decided to make my own using Ashlee's Fabulous Sugar Cookie recipe, since I wanted to make some regular sugar cookies … Read More
Hey Everyone! Sorry I've been a bit MIA. I just got back from the Big Apple! It was a blast & I'll be posting about all our adventures soon. Then when we got back I was a bit under the weather, so I apologize that you've had those cream puffs to look at for a week now! I think this is the longest I've ever gone without posting something new. We had our first Christmas gathering to go … Read More
There are so many ways to do cream puffs, lots of different fillings and toppings. I chose to fill mine with cream pattiserie and top them with chocolate ganache. I actually made these last Thanksgiving, but just never got around to posting them. They were really good and everyone kept going back for more. I would like to work on my technique a bit because they weren't as light and fluffy as … Read More
This is a recipe that my mom has been making for years and years. It tastes wonderful and is so comforting on a cold winter's night. It uses two ingredients and is so simple, but has a great depth of flavor. She always makes this every Christmas and also recently made this for a gathering and said I could post it to my blog. So, Thanks Mom!:) Try it for a crowd or you could halve the recipe … Read More
I saw this recipe for pumpkin turkey flatbread pizza on Cara's Cravings and thought it sounded great for turkey leftovers on Thanksgiving. Then I got to thinking that my husband isn't that crazy about pumpkin so I was thinking of doing a variation on it but wasn't sure what. Then this recipe from Black Cat Kitchen popped up for Butternut Squash pizza. I had some leftover from making some … Read More
Well, today is my last day at my job. It was a good job, but just not anything I am passionate about. I felt God leading me to leave and pursue some of my passions. I am nervous, scared, anxious and excited to see what the future holds. Not sure what I will be moving on to next, but I knew that it was time to do just that, move on to something new. I know God will direct me and show me what … Read More
I saw this recipe on one of my favorite blogs, Annie's Eats. It looked so creamy and didn't seem like it would take long, plus I had all of the ingredients on hand. So I decided to make it for dinner one night last week. This was so delicious and comforting. I lightened it up a little by using fat free half and half instead of the heavy cream and it was still wonderful. Definitely adding it … Read More
I have had this recipe starred from Cara's Creature Comforts for a while now and have been wanting to make it. I had also found another enchilada recipe somewhere that called for green enchilada sauce and bought the stuff to make that, but in my mind I was thinking it was this recipe. So I printed this recipe out and got everything out and discovered that it didn't use the green sauce, I had … Read More
My good friend Shaunda is one of the best bakers I know. She made this cake a couple years ago, and it was so delicious. I begged her for the recipe and she obliged. I proceeded to make it for Thanksgiving and now my family asks for it every year. Well, my mom asked me to make it for this prayer conference she was hosting last weekend and everyone loved it. It was gone so fast and everyone … Read More
I saw this in my most recent Martha Stewart Living Magazine in the Healthy Living/Fit-To-Eat article, and thought it sounded delightful for dinner. This meal certainly did not dissapoint. It does take a bit of time to bake in the oven, so it might be more for a Sunday dinner than a weeknight meal. This meal would also be great for entertaining or a holiday meal. It's so comforting, full of … Read More
