This past Christmas I got some pretty wonderful gifts ... money from my parents, a gorgeous dessert plate and cake stand from my hubby and one gift that surprised me the most. My sister gave me this adorable little food basket filled with herb infused olive oil, a bottle of beer, a bag of dough mix, recipe card and a Rachael Ray loaf pan in this hideous orange color. Turns out 1) the orange looks pretty amazing … [Read more...]
Sunday's are rough around this house. It has become our day of boredom, cleaning and more boredom. My husband has to get his things together for the new work week, our son gets grumpy about school the next day and for me and the girls, it's nothing different really. So we all get a little bored and stir crazy especially during the winter months. So I just decided to take some me time in the kitchen to fight the … [Read more...]
For quite some time now I've been hearing people talking about just how good the Red Lobster biscuits are. That's fabulous, except, I've never had one and probably never will. The problem for me is I can't stand seafood, not even the faint smell of it. So going in there just try the biscuits would make me gag. However, I still wanted to try the biscuits and researched a bunch of different copycat recipes online and … [Read more...]
A few months ago I was grocery shopping as usual and ran into a box of "Make Your Own Auntie Anne's at Home Baking Kit" pretzel mix. I didn't even hesitate when I tossed it in the cart thinking how fun this would be to make the pretzels I love so much at home. Considering our local Auntie Anne's pretzel store is inside the mall, a please I dread going, this sounded like an easy way to get a snack food I adore without … [Read more...]
I realize in most places around the country it's 90 plus degrees outside but that doesn't mean you can't still enjoy some of your favorite baked goods. The key here is to do your baking at night when the temperatures drop and enjoy them the next day. That's exactly what I did when I decided to make this wholesome black bottom banana bread! Banana bread has been my long time favorite way to use over ripened … [Read more...]
Do you ever find yourself bored with the same old foods and side dishes day after day? Growing up we ate certain vegetables with certain meats and I still cook the same way today. Where there's beef you'll surely find green beans. If there's a bowl of stew on the table you'll find the biscuits nearby. Spaghetti and meatballs ... garlic bread. See what I'm getting at? Boring! Well. Switch it up! Try something … [Read more...]
As most of us already know, Wilton encompasses everything sugary-sweet and cake based, but did you also know they've got doughnut pans? Interesting right? I've never in my life baked a doughnut but I couldn't wait to try when I saw these pans at the grocery store a few weeks ago. On a slightly different note, I'm feeling very weird about spelling it "doughnut". A quick Google search led me to find that it's … [Read more...]
For two months I've been confessing my love of Panera Bread, as I know many of you do as well. What I don't always love is the price tag that comes with a lunch for five people, even if the soup and sandwiches are worth every penny (and they are). I can't drop an entire day's worth of grocery money on one meal, but I can make it at home whenever I want for over half the price ... and that's exactly what I did thanks … [Read more...]
There are so many wonderful reasons to enjoy the celebration of Thanksgiving from family to friends to giving thanks for everything we have but most of all, I love the food. Holiday feasts are something to be incredibly thankful for because they bring together families to experience the wonderful flavors of homemade dishes. This year, I want to share our favorite family foods for the holidays to create your … [Read more...]
To keep it short and sweet ... this is the absolute best bread pudding I've ever eaten in my life. Not only that, but it puts a fun twist on your everyday bread pudding by taking the best part of apple pie and mixing it right in. Getting things started you'll want to preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and a day before you will be making this, cut a loaf of Italian bread into large cubes. Let the cubes dry out … [Read more...]
