This smoothie is the reason we don’t have a rug in the living room anymore. The fact that I am still making it, despite the Blueberry Smoothie Incident of 2010, should tell you something. The recipe comes from the New York Times. It actually is a bit like a lassi (the yogurt drink you can […]
One of my best friends recently had a baby. Hilary and I lived across the hall from each other our freshman year of college at University of Georgia, and then lived together for the next three years. Her husband, Matt, is also awesome and is one of the biggest UGA fans I know. So, clearly […]
When I first saw this recipe on Tyler Florence’s website, I wasn’t sure if it was a recipe for baby food or regular food. He does both. And while I know nothing about babies and their eating habits, I would have to guess this would work as a baby food item. But it also works […]
I talked to my friend Aaren for the first time in a long time a few weeks ago, and after talking about a lot of other stuff, she mentioned that she and her sister Jenna read my blog and were wondering why I was posting things like Mexican wedding cakes when I am supposed to […]
So, those cupcakes were really cute, but I gave them all away at work. Then we decided on Saturday to have people over on Sunday. I know nothing says Independence Day like a flag cake, but I had pie on the brain this year. I figured a raspberry-blueberry pie would be delicious and patriotic. Doesn’t […]
I was thinking about making a three-layer cake for the Fourth of July — one layer red, one layer white and one layer blue. But I figured cupcakes would be faster and more easily share-able. And I was inspired by the rainbow cupcakes Isabel made a while back. Plus, I didn’t think Team America-themed cookies […]
Hello all! And Happy Canada Day to my Canadian friends! I am working on getting some July 4th foods made and posted (Red, white and blue cupcakes coming soon — hopefully tonight), but in the interim, I wanted to direct your attention to a few things that might work for your patriotic picnic/jaunt to the […]
I believe you all know I love pasta. But it’s not just the carbs. I must have some kind of lycopene deficiency or something, because I totally crave the tomato sauce. So, if I can’t have spaghetti, I need another vehicle for the sauce. I had never eaten spaghetti squash before, but I figured it […]
As you might imagine, this is not a diet recipe. However, it IS a really easy recipe for a fantastic cake. I first made this cake when I lived in South Carolina, and I was thinking about it when we had a Mexican-themed party recently. But I couldn’t remember where I had gotten the recipe […]
Well, the diet has been going pretty well, although the exercise portion has been a challenge. It seems the fates have been conspiring against me, but I have managed to swim a little and take a few walk/runs over the bridge near our house. Anyway, I’ve found the biggest challenge, food-wise, is to get and […]
