Angel Food Cupcakes
February 15, 2012

Because I made creme brulee and Jay made Hollandaise sauce yesterday, there were 5 egg whites idly resting in the fridge. I wasn’t sure what to do with them and then remembered I still had never made angel food cake. After doing a quick Google search on how to make angel food cake I was [...]

Valentine’s Day Dinner
February 15, 2012

Yesterday when I asked Jay what he thought we should make for our V-day dinner he said, “Pizza?” I immediately shook my head. To me, V-day is a special occasion that deserves hard work and sweat in the kitchen. When I suggested bacon-wrapped pork loin all thoughts of pizza flew out of Jay’s head. “Wow, [...]

Another Pampered Chef Success
November 9, 2011

Meatloaf is something I very rarely make – by rarely I mean twice in my life – and I have no explanation for this. Seriously, why don’t I make meatloaf more often? The last time I made meatloaf was when I made chicken loaf. I’ve finally realized that this kind of dish is incredibly versatile, [...]

Ginger Spice Cookies
November 7, 2011

I have a blue hardcover notebook, which was empty up until early this year when I started to cut out recipes and health tips and pasted into the notebook. The cut outs aren’t organized in any way so sometimes I’ll just flip through everything I’ve collected so far until I find something that piques my [...]

Perfectly Creamy Cheesecake with Apple Topping
November 2, 2011

Remember that shipment of Pampered Chef products we ordered? Well, last night I decided to try out the spring form cake pan to make a cheesecake. I was originally going to use a recipe I found in my recipe box (I recently put the box together because I had all these little scraps of paper [...]

Mini Apple Pies
October 28, 2011

It was a certain someone’s birthday yesterday but instead of making an entire birthday cake (that two people would have to eat entirely) I decided to make mini apple pies. I used to feel that making apple pie was extremely difficult and delicate work. Difficult because you have to thinly slice a billion apples, and [...]

Pampered Chef Goodness
October 25, 2011

Yesterday our shipment of bakeware from The Pampered Chef arrived. To say that Jay and I were excited would be an understatement. We squealed and giggled as we gently pulled out a rectangle stoneware baking sheet, muffin pan, stoneware loaf pan, and spring form cake pan. About ten years ago I purchased a square stoneware [...]

Really lumpy meringue cookies
October 16, 2011

This was my first time making meringue cookies so I’m not surprised that they look like little misshapen turds. But don’t let their appearance keep you from trying this recipe. I purposely only made a dozen, counting on the fact that they would be yummy. I was right, sort of. They are way more than just yummy. [...]

Quick sugar craving solution

Don’t worry, no one will judge you if you eat this sandwich: Nutella Peanut butter Banana, sliced Sandwich bread

Cream Cheese Pound Cake
May 20, 2010

Pound cake. When I hear those two words I think of moist, sweet bread with a delicious brown crust. Pound cake takes me back to the days when I’d break off pieces and squeeze them in my hand to make tiny pound cake balls. I’ve often wondered why it’s called pound cake. My first thought [...]
