Holy cow. It has been a long time since I baked something that turned out so badly. I'm posting this because I want you all to know that sometimes, even people who bake all the time with great success have total disasters. Messing up is no reason to stop trying! I'm sure this recipe is… Continue reading Bad Blueberry Muffins
11 Step Program
I read this today and couldn't stop laughing - thought I'd pass it along: Considering having children? Do this 11 step program first to be sure you are ready! Lesson 1 1. Go to the grocery store. 2. Arrange to have your salary paid directly to their head office. 3. Go home. 4. Pick up… Continue reading 11 Step Program
Cheddar Bay Biscuits
I've only been to Red Lobster a couple of times, and the only memorable thing about my visits was their biscuits. Light cheddar biscuits filled with savory seasonings. Yum yum. This makes about 24 biscuits - so if you've got a small family, you might want to cut the recipe in half. I guarantee that… Continue reading Cheddar Bay Biscuits
Glazed Cinnamon Raisin Scones
We got new neighbors last weekend (total bummer to be moving New Year weekend) - and I've been waiting until the dust settles next door to bring over some baked goodies and say "hello!". My super awesome talented cousin posted this recipe on her blog today and I decided it was perfect for saying "Welcome… Continue reading Glazed Cinnamon Raisin Scones
Blueberry Bran Muffins
A little healthy snack for those of you watching your calories at the start of the new year. Don't we all have those 5 (cough!) - ok, 15 "Christmas cookie pounds" to lose? I certainly do. All my baking caught up with me this year. I modified this recipe so each muffin has a mere… Continue reading Blueberry Bran Muffins

You can also use spinach, tomato or herb tortillas for a festive platter. Make them the night before and let the flavors blend overnight in the fridge. Slice… Continue reading Perfect Party Pinwheels
Mediterranean Crescent Pinwheels
I've had this kicking around my recipe box for a few months now and decided today's Star Wars Marathon was the perfect time to make it. I mean come on -- you can't tell me these don't look like Leia's spiral buns from "A New Hope"...right? The really great thing about these is that you… Continue reading Mediterranean Crescent Pinwheels
Artichoke Spinach Dip
Apparently I'm in the mood for all my favorite restaurant foods. As I am dealing with somewhat of a post-Christmas deficit in my bank account and cannot go out to eat, I'm recreating them at home. Artichoke Spinach Dip is pretty much a perfect food in my opinion. If I could get away with eating… Continue reading Artichoke Spinach Dip
Stuffed Mushrooms
Oh how I love mushrooms. One of my favorite appetizers is the stuffed mushrooms at Olive Garden. I know that all the cheese, butter, cheese and breadcrumbs takes away from the nutritional value of the shrooms, but I don't care. Mmmmmm delicious. Tomorrow we're having an all day Star Wars Marathon with our small group… Continue reading Stuffed Mushrooms
Melting Moments
I first had this cookie at a tea party thrown by my good friend Lauren. She's from Australia and has the most delightful accent ever. Also, she made some delicious treats from her homeland. These cookies were one of my favorites. I went searching for a recipe for them (probably just should have asked "Loz"… Continue reading Melting Moments
