(Today, we get to hear from my best friend, Meriah — this blue cheese dip is something I ask her to make EVERY time she comes to visit. I adore it, and I am not a huge fan of Blue Cheese!! Give it a try.) One of the great things about blue cheese dip is …
My favorite breakfast as a child was biscuits and gravy, but let’s be honest — it wasn’t the gravy I was in love with. It was the biscuits, especially the tops. I would always save the tops of the biscuits for jam or even better honey butter. My grandmother, in her later years, would use …
I’m bacccccck! I’ve been gone for a while (like almost a year, omg!) — but I spent my time getting ready for this coming year. The year of mom. You may not know, but my mom died late 2018 — she was a good cook (she and I both suck at pie crust, but everyone …
Sometimes you do it all right, and it is still wrong… As you know, I’m not the perfect home cook…the Great British Bake Off wouldn’t want me, trust me! BUT I still try those recipes that everyone thinks of as iconic and difficult, because OMG why not? Life is short and I might be able …
Some times you come across something that makes everything else pale in comparison…sometimes, the world is a brighter place for having had something in it… For me, that is my mom’s hot fudge. The entire family loves it. The grandkids have been known to call grandma and ask for a jar of their very on …
I’m not always about shortcuts…but some days, guys – some days you look at flour and sugar and think, “That is too damn much work!” AND IT IS. I was having one of those days the other weekend, but we had guests coming! Why, oh why, do these days have to come calling when friends …
This is why I don’t make pie crust… My mom couldn’t make pie crust, and neither can I. Both of us are too impatient to be true crust makers. My mother bought her crusts all her life. She always thought that life was too short to make something she knew would fail. Also, something …
I know some of you out there hate white chocolate…I am not one of them, but my wife is. She’s looney, but I love her so much and I like to make her happy. SO, I went on a hunt to make white chocolate a little more palatable for her. The first thing I did …
I don’t like chocolate cake, I love chocolate but not chocolate cake…I know, I know, I am just not right in the head. Mostly it is because I LOVE a dense cake – soft and pillowy and melt in the mouth worthy. And you just don’t get that from a chocolate cake. Seriously, unless it …
Because they are EVERYTHING and they have EVERYTHING!!! And they ARE everything! These cookies are just a wonderful mix of flavors, and I can’t get enough of them. They are simple to make and they look so pretty — see: Ingredients: 1 cup softened butter (2 sticks) ½ cup sugar ½ cup firmly packed dark …
