German Chocolate Cake

I have never attempted German Chocolate cake before, partially because Spencer has never been a big fan of coconut so I didn’t want this huge cake to go to waste after I making it.  While I was looking at different cake recipes I came across a German Chocolate cake recipe and showed Spencer and he [...]

Cinnamon Raisin Bread

 
Spencer loves cinnamon raisin bread.  It seems like he gets a loaf almost every time we go do our major grocery shopping.  I don’t know why but I’ve never really thought about trying to make it before.  The idea came to me one day while I was looking at some food blogs I saw on Le Petit [...]

Chili

As much as I hate to see summer go, I’m so glad fall is here.  Fall is the start of so many things, including food, and it also opens the door for a lot of different types of food that aren’t craved so much during the warmer months.  Sometimes there is just nothing better than a big [...]

S’more Cupcakes

Over the past month or so I’ve seen the recipe for s’mores posted many times and each time I saw it I told myself that I had to make this.  They are so cute and each time I see a picture of them my mouth starts watering.  I love s’mores and always have; I don’t know what it [...]

Spinach Chicken Pizza

Last night I decided to make pizza for supper.  I didn’t really want a normal pizza, I wanted something that was a little different.  I started thinking about the ingredients I had on hand and about how I could pair those together.  After thinking for a while I decided that a spinach and chicken pizza [...]

Pizza Dough

It seems like Spencer and I have been eating quite a bit of pizza lately, but it’s all been from restaurants.  Although all of the pizza we have had lately has been good, it’s just not the same as homemade.  I also like making homemade pizza because you can make pretty much any type of [...]

Daring Baker’s Dobo’s Torta

The August 2009 Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Angela of A Spoonful of Sugar and Lorraine of Not Quite Nigella. They chose the spectacular Dobos Torte based on a recipe from Rick Rodgers’ cookbook Kaffeehaus:  Exquisite Desserts from the Classic Caffés of Vienna, Budapest, and Prague.
For the Daring Baker’s August challenge we made a [...]

Broccoli Cheese Soup

It’s August in the south and the last thing on my mind should be soup, but for some reason it sounds so good.  I believe I’ve had more soup this past summer than I’ve had any other summer.  I don’t know what my deal is but there is just something so comforting about a big [...]

The Chewy

 

 
 
Chocolate chip cookies are classic cookies and I believe they are probably at the top of mosts people “favorite cookies” list.  There really isn’t anything  much better than a tall glass of milk and chocolate chip cookies right out of the oven.  I’ve always been a huge fan of chocolate chip cookies, I’ve made my own [...]

Crab Macaroni and Cheese

Macaroni and cheese has been around as long as I can remember.  It has always been a crowd pleaser, kid pleaser and also considered one of the ultimate comfort foods.  Probably the most well recognized brand of macaroni and cheese is “the blue box”, Kraft Mac and Cheese.  There have been many other brands that [...]
