I know. I was supposed to give you the recipe for the maple-bacon biscuits I made the other day, and I haven’t yet. But I thought those of you who don’t eat bacon might appreciate something vegetarian for a change. Plus, it’s Taco Tuesday! You need a margarita. These are not your typical strawberry margaritas. […]
Football is kind of a big deal around here. Between my need to watch Georgia games and Toby’s desire to watch every other football game ever played… it can get a little excessive. And while I’m on board with lot of football on TV, I wasn’t super excited when I realized that moving to the […]
It has been far, far too long since I’ve posted a recipe here. I’m sorry, and I’m going to make it up to you, starting today. I just hope you like bacon. Unlike the entire Internet, I am actually not head-over-heels for bacon. I know, I’m a weirdo. It’s cool. But, as you might imagine, […]
Summer is NOT over, y’all. I know that summer break is over for most of the kids and teachers in the U.S. And I know that the weather has been totally wackadoodle in many places. But it is still August! The high tomorrow in Killeen, Texas (my current location) is 96 degrees. The pools are […]
Rainbow sprinkles and coconut were perfect for my birthday, but for Toby’s birthday? I obviously needed something spiked with bourbon. Luckily, I had just seen a recipe for bourbon cake in a cookbook a few days before, so I decided to try it. It was definitely a good call. This recipe is super easy, […]
I love coconut cake, but I’ve had some issues trying to bake myself one for my past few birthdays. This year, my first try was fine but not great. Then, Toby had the brilliant idea of combining rainbow sprinkles with coconut. It was the perfect birthday cake. The cake itself is very light and […]
My friend Danielle is fun, super smart and, like many of my friends, doesn’t think she knows how to cook. Since she’s a doctor who just got out of the Navy (and her boyfriend apparently is a great cook), it may just be that she’s been focused on other things… like, for instance, saving lives. […]
Do you like Creamsicles? Dreamsicles? Orange-cream slushes at Sonic? Anything with orange and cream together? I love them all. Orange + vanilla might seem like a weird combination if you’ve never had one of those frozen confections, but I promise it works. Which is why I was intrigued when I saw this cake on Rosie’s […]
So, I think y’all know that I’m semi-obsessed with this fruit salad with mint sugar. But it’s nice to switch things up occasionally, and for the Fourth of July I wanted something without added sugar, since we were going to have dessert (and since fruit has natural sugar anyway). What I think you’ll love about […]
I love watermelon, but every time I buy it I get a little overwhelmed by how much of it there is. So, I figured I’d turn some of it into a margarita. Of course. You don’t need a ton of limes for this. I actually put too much lime juice in the first time I […]
