Well, this is potentially problematic. The New York Times reported today that many packaged food have been downsized — but no one told the consumers. Now, I get that food costs are increasing and manufacturers are either going to have to hike prices or decrease quantity. But, the problem is that we don’t KNOW we’re […]
Depending on where you grew up, devil dogs may be a kind of hot dog, a kind of snack cake (akin to a Twinkie or Ding Dong) or a Marine. I’m in the latter camp — which is why I knew I had to make them. I had been thinking about making these for a […]
Yes, we are apparently on a pancake kick around here. Don’t judge. And actually, I made these partly because I had a lot of ricotta cheese in the fridge that I didn’t want to go bad. But I do think they might be the best pancakes yet. The combination of the ricotta and whipped egg […]
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! You all know Guinness is good for you, right? Well, Guinness chocolate cake is even better. I tried to drink the leftover beer… that didn’t work out. Maybe I should have let it come to room temperature and poured it into a pint glass? Since I made this as a bundt […]

I love reading The Pioneer Woman’s cooking blog and looking at all the fabulous photos. But I don’t actually make a ton of the things she posts, mainly because she likes a lot of things that I don’t like or can’t eat — like mushrooms (gross) and seafood (allergic). HOWEVER. As soon as I saw […]
I’ve been thinking about pimento cheese since January, when I saw this post by Camille at Creative Pursuits. So I was really excited when I opened my mailbox and saw the pimento macaroni and cheese on the March cover of Bon Appetit. If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you know I have […]
I’m sorry I haven’t been posting much lately. I have been pretty busy, I haven’t been cooking that much and then I left my camera at a friend’s house in Baltimore. But I do have exciting news: Today is National Pancake Day! My darling husband made some pancakes two weekends ago (for National Pancake Week, […]
Since I started an actual fire inside my oven last night and set off our smoke alarm, I think I need to tweak the recipe I was using a bit before posting it. In the meantime, I wanted to tell you about two exciting things I discovered this week while seeking lunch in Annapolis (instead […]
