When I was a kid my mom spent 99% of her evenings, after a long day of work, cooking dinner for our family. I have to say this was one of the best parts of my childhood and made me one lucky kid, considering families have become so busy these days a sit down meal can be a rare event.While I could never narrow down a favorite dish from all of the incredible homemade meals, the "River Chips" are definitely … [Read more...]
When Emilie and I first started our baking blog, I had no idea just how fun it would be. Not just the baking and trying new desserts, but the part where we get to share our love of baking with our friends and family ... and then see those friends try our recipes too! Just the other day Emilie shared her mom's Banana Flips recipe and right away I knew it had to be good, I mean it looked absolutely amazing, … [Read more...]
The weather has been extremely hot lately, almost too hot to do any cooking in the house. Rather than battle our failing air conditioner with a burning hot stove, we took the heat outside to the grill to try some new marinades on our favorite meats. Thanks to Lawry's, made famous by their tasty seasoned salt that we use for just about everything, we received this incredible grilling kid that included … [Read more...]
Whenever I'm attempting a new cake or decorating technique, I MUST practice beforehand. You see, Kaydee is turning the big 3 on July 1st and has been begging for a Cinderella Princess Party for months now. She's even gone as far as looking through pictures on the Wilton website with me and fell in love with the 3D doll cakes. They are beautiful! And I'm terrified of trying to make one. I just have … [Read more...]
With the 4th of July just around the corner, I thought it would be fun to make a practice cake with my new Wilton Checkerboard Cake Pan Set. While it's meant to be used with two cake colors I decided to press my luck and go with three. After all, it just wouldn't be very patriotic of me not to include red, white and blue! Let me tell you though, red cake batter is not easy to make. I ended up using … [Read more...]
Today Lori Falcon, fabulous friend, blogger and author of My Wooden Spoon shared a new initiative called 1,000 Cooks for the Cure. Together KitchenAid and Susan G. Komen for the Cure hope to bring together 1,000 cooks to host charitable parties during the weekend of July 16th through 18th to raise donations to help fight and find a cure for Breast Cancer. Why do I care? I don't have breast cancer. … [Read more...]
For my last cake in my Ultragold Bakeware series, I wanted to try something completely new to me. Sponge Cake! It goes perfectly with all of those big, juicy strawberries I just picked and I just happened to have all of the ingredients hanging around in my cupboards. What I didn't realize was the degree of difficulty in making one. Or maybe it's not difficult and I just need more practice. I started … [Read more...]
This weekend my family and I took off to Sam's Club on a mission to create some delicious spring recipes. One of my favorite reasons to visit Sam's Club (other than being able to buy in bulk) is the assortment of fresh produce. My first stop was to the case of fresh berries, but not just any berries, big beautiful ones! There were strawberries, raspberries and blackberries. I love being able to find … [Read more...]
This is my baking crew and with their help, we pulled together all of the ingredients needed to make The Pioneer Woman's "Best Chocolate Sheet Cake Ever!" Only, we didn't make a sheet cake but rather turned this awesomely rich chocolate cake into the ultimate layered Smores Cake! This time I pulled out the very handy and deep 12x18x2 Wilton Ultragold Sheet Cake pan which was actually the inspiration … [Read more...]
