It’s gorgeous isn’t it? Sorry, I usually am not so disgustingly transparent with my bragging rights, but this salad deserves to be on the cover of any magazine. And to think, this is just the second string version of my original salad I made for my book club last Friday night. That one was the [...]

Why “Finals” Is the New F-Word and My Cheer ‘Em Up Chocolate Pancakes
Posted in Bread, Chocolate, tagged best chocolate pancakes, breakfast, chocolate chip pancakes, double chocolate pancakes, pancakes on May 26, 2011 | 27 Comments »
Finals week. Not many other two words could be uttered and elicit such a universally detested feeling, an audible groan and a few expletives shouted out. I think I would rather say and hear the other f-word over and over again than have to deal with this f-word any more, and I am a fairly [...]
My Grandpa’s Favorite Orange and Honey Glazed Chicken
Posted in Main Dishes, tagged baked crispy chicken, baked orange chicken, food memories, orange glazed chicken on May 24, 2011 | 41 Comments »
Food memories, to me, are better than looking at photographs or reading old diaries. Smelling or tasting a food that is associated with a missed loved one can hit me like a ton of bricks, and can bring me back to a time and place that was long ago, reminding me of a favorite person. [...]
Dodging the Pork Roast and Sweet Potato Biscuit Bullet
Posted in Bread, Main Dishes, tagged parenting, raising kids, soft biscuits, sweet potato biscuits on May 20, 2011 | 32 Comments »
Last night we were eating an apricot glazed pork tenderloin roast and the most beautifully soft and lightly sweet biscuits I have ever tasted. Missing from our table was a household staple of red meat and Russet potatoes. You see, we were eating without my teenage son who is a total red blooded, red meat [...]
Aloooo-HA Pineapple Upside Down Pancakes
Posted in Bread, Breakfast, tagged pancakes, pineapple, pineapple upside down pancakes on May 15, 2011 | 32 Comments »
Stacks of golden pancakes glistening with the carmelized sugar of the pineapple chunks, dripping with buttery rum coconut syrup and a mug of hot Kona coffee on the breakfast table…this is my idea of Hawaii being invited to my Sunday morning brunch. These pancakes are the epitome of taking a sweet and tropical bite out [...]
Sometimes Perfection Just Needs to be Messed With:Chocolate Squared Banana Bread

One heaping cup of excellent quality unsweetened cocoa powder, three-fourths of a cup of bittersweet (70%) chocolate chips and two very ripe bananas. Are you with me yet? I should say so. Truthfully, I am such a fan of my plain and simple chocolate chip banana bread recipe that I really never have seen the [...]
The Sordid Tale of My Infamous Cointreau Cake
Posted in Cakes, Celebration Cakes, Chocolate, tagged chocolate orange bundt cake, chocolate orange cake, Cointreau Cake, Devil's Food bundt cake, Grand Marnier Cake, Grand Marnier Frosting on May 7, 2011 | 34 Comments »
This totally drunk out of its mind Devil’s Food Cointreau cake has a bit of a sordid past I’m afraid. My parents, although very conservative, seemed to veer from the straight and narrow path in regards to child-rearing on one particular issue; anything done in the name of good food was not only acceptable but [...]
Nostalgic Angel Food Cake and An Argument for “Made from Scratch”

—In light of the Alabama tornado storm devastation, I ask that as you read this Angel Food cake post, you think about how much it means when someone reaches out to you during a crisis and becomes your “angel”. If you are in a position to make any donation, please click the link to donate [...]
