Colored for Halloween, flavored for fall! I loved this soup (especially the kielbasa & sweet potato flavor combined). Next time around I’m going to make a few tweeks- I think I might actually do less of the leeks since they overpowered the sweet potato flavor I love so much- but overall...
Thanksgiving. A time of year to celebrate and be grateful for the family and loved ones you hold dear. A time to reflect on all of the things you’re thankful for. A time to buy the biggest, fattest turkey you can find, as to feed the army of people coming...
A few miles from my house we have an amazing ice cream shop. But not just any ice cream shop. It’s the ice cream shop that won Best Ice Cream Shop on Good Morning, America last year. So, as you can imagine, it’s got some daaang good ice cream. Being...
Ahhh, the cinnamon roll. I actually made these little babies back in May, but have taken my sweet old time to add them to the blog. I don’t think I need to tell you that they were amazing. However, the icing recipe that was listed in the original was not...

One of my earliest vivid memories is shopping with my mom at our dinky little mall (now a small strip mall) when I was 4 or 5 years old. I loved going to this mall with her- partly because I learned the art of shopping at an early age (something...
Happy birthday to my little blog. I started this blog 1 year ago today. I started it more as a cookbook for myself, to keep track of recipes I loved, than anything else. A year ago I firmly fell in the Sucky Cooking category. After many, many attempts in the kitchen...
