Bread Basket: Bacon, Cheddar, Jalapeno Scones
This weather is wreaking havoc on my sinuses. One day I’m stuffed up and the next I’m not. Today I have a headache, tomorrow I won’t. I wish Mother Nature would make up her mind about whether it’s going to 20° or 60°, rain or snow. Either way, this crazy weather calls for a big…
Cookie Swap: Ginger Molasses Crinkles
I think Santa would approve of my favorite Christmas cookies!
It’s Not Delivery – Curry Chicken Pizza
Ugh, Monday. And tax day. That’s should be against the law or something. That’s a lot of “ugh” to handle at the beginning of the week! And I don’t know about y’all but taxes were brutal this year! Oh the joys of self-employment. 🙂 Making it through this day, or any rough day, calls for…

Tea Time
There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea. ~Henry James, The Portrait of a Lady Nothing is quite as relaxing as a cup of tea and a good book. It is one of my absolute favorite past times, especially on a rainy Saturday afternoon. …
An Affair to Remember
I. LOVE. PIZZA. It’s a love affair that I am not ashamed to admit. I love everything about pizza. I love it’s ooey gooey cheesiness. I love it saucy. I love it piled with pepperoni. I love it with the season’s freshest veggies (give me more mushrooms!). I love the smell and feel of yeasty,…
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
I think St. Patrick’s Day is the perfect comfort food holiday. Spring is almost here but there are still those chilly, rainy days that remind you that Old Man Winter isn’t quite ready to be finished. The random changes in weather wreak havoc on my sinuses and cause awful headaches. My allergies start flaring up. …
