If you don’t have any Irish whiskey in your house, you may need to go get some RIGHT NOW. Because you’re going to need to make this Irish whiskey caramel sauce. Don’t worry if you’ve never made caramel before — it’s not that hard and it only takes about 15 minutes. You do need to […]
Y’all, I really want to tell you stories about St. Patrick’s Day and wax poetic about this stew. But my brain stopped working a few hours ago. Plus, the best St. Patrick’s Day celebrations are the ones you can’t remember (though the days after are generally ones you want to forget). So, you should make […]
“On my honor, I will try: to serve God and my country, to help people at all times, and to live by the Girl Scout law.” One hundred years ago today, 18 girls gathered in Savannah, Ga., for the first meeting of what would become the Girl Scouts. Roughly 25 years ago, I attended my […]
Do y’all Pinterest? It seems like everyone is talking about it now, but I first heard about it in August from Bridget at Bake@350. If you, like me, ever covered your bulletin boards, walls, binders and lockers in photos and things ripped from magazines, you’ll definitely like Pinterest. Or if you, like me, see recipes […]
I. Love. Deviled. Eggs. So much. And they don’t seem so hard, right? I mean, I’ve seen my mom make them tons of times. So the summer after I graduated from college, when my roommates and I were having a Fourth of July party, I decided to make some. It didn’t work out very well. […]
Is there really such a thing as an Oscars party? I ask because every website I visit seems to have guides upon guides for hosting your own Oscars party, for food that fits various Oscar party themes, and for DYI projects for these alleged parties. But I have never heard of anyone actually hosting or […]
Are you sugared out? Too many conversation hearts? A few too many bon bons? More than a socially acceptable amount of Jell-O-based cake? Me neither. But sometimes it’s good to step away from the granulated sugar and high-fructose corn syrup anyway. You can still have something sweet, though. You probably weren’t expecting this photo of […]
Crank up the heat, turn off your humidifier, put on your cowboy boots and turquoise bolo tie and stick a cheese crisp in the toaster oven. It’s Arizona’s 100th birthday! I really wanted to make a prickly pear margarita pie today. In case you aren’t familiar with prickly pears, they’re the purplish prickly fruit that […]
Back in August, Meagan of Scarletta Bakes made some really cool avocado pop tarts. And while I never really liked Pop Tarts that much when I was little (shocking, right? Especially since my brother liked them), they did grow on me post-college. They also saved a diabetic photographer I know in North Carolina from blood […]
Well, I couldn’t very well give you a big list of Valentine’s recipes and not include at least one chocolate item. But after the macarons, I figured you didn’t want something else super involved. So this is not traditional chocolate mousse. It’s faster. And easier. And spicier. Plus it involves marshmallows, which is always a […]
