  • Recipe Samoa Girl Scout Cookie Ice Cream

    Samoa Girl Scout Cookie Ice Cream


    My favorite Girl Scout cookies are Tag-a-logs and Samoas; so much so that when I bought a box on my way into the grocery store during this year's Girl Scout Cookie season, it was half-eaten as I walked back out of the store. hehehe My friend's[...]
  • Recipe Tangerine Curd

    Tangerine Curd


    Yeah, it's been about 2 months since I've blogged anything. Grad school kicks my butt, work is stressful, and managing pre-diabetes has kept me out of the kitchen for much of 2011. But I've finally returned and with a great offering. Tangerine[...]
  • Recipe 2010 Recap

    2010 Recap


    I feel like 2010 has gone way too quickly. It's hard to believe that we're about to start another new year in just a couple of days. This New Year's Eve will mark 6 years since the husband and I first met, 4 years as a teacher, and the last 9 months[...]
  • Recipe Candy Cane Sugar

    Candy Cane Sugar


    I like sprinkling crushed candy canes on Christmas treats, but if you don't crush the candy canes enough, you're left with huge jagged chunks that aren't so fun. I saw a picture of peppermint sugar on Tastespotting and decided to give it a try.[...]

    Pumpkin Pie


    My first Thanksgiving away from home was my junior year of college. Going to school in northern California meant that I was an 8 hour drive away from home; I had no desire to make the long trek down the 5, and being a broke college kid meant I[...]
  • Recipe Blackberry Cranberry Sauce

    Blackberry Cranberry Sauce


    This was the second year that the husband and I hosted Thanksgiving dinner in our home--we like the tradition of inviting our families over and cooking a big meal for everyone. Last year, I made the majority of the meal, but asked each of our[...]
  • Recipe Pumpkin Custard

    Pumpkin Custard


    Tomorrow is Thanksgiving--are you ready?! The husband and I are hosting Thanksgiving for the second time this year and I've been planning the menu since about September. My original menu had about 3 sides and 15 desserts, but I've since changed[...]
  • Recipe Pumpkin Pie Bars

    Pumpkin Pie Bars


    Well, it's almost Thanksgiving, so hopefully you have your menu for this year's turkey dinner planned out. But, if you're still looking for another addition to the dessert table here's a fun spin on pumpkin pie! These bars have the soft[...]
  • Recipe Jalapeno Chicken Salad

    Jalapeno Chicken Salad


    This hardly qualifies as a recipe, in my opinion, since you basically just mix a few things together and then eat. :) But it's something I've been eating a lot of lately since it is South Beach-friendly, and friends have asked for the recipe, so[...]
