I’m not sure who started the concept of “Baked French Toast” and the not so distant relative of such a dish known as the “French Toast Casserole” but the last time I checked, these seemingly new dishes, (cultivated by massive amounts of online recipes) are all just bread pudding recipes.

Panzanella is a classic summer salad that requires little effort and zero cooking. It’s easy, delicious and can be served as a complete meal, especially on an exceptionally heat-ridden day as we have here, today.
This particular version has a twist, though. Since we’re about a week or two shy [...]
Right now, I’m supposed to be on vacation, but I made these muffins and couldn’t stop myself from grabbing a quick photo and sharing them with you before I go and do vacationy things. Plus, they’re just too cute in their little red white and blue surroundings. I couldn’t not [...]
Egg drop soup only requires about five ingredients and ten minutes of time, which makes it one of the easiest things to make. It’s filling, nutritious, light, healthy and easy. I am a big fan of all of those things.

Ok, kids, listen up! Moms shouldn’t have to cook anything for anyone on Mother’s day. Also, kids, you shouldn’t cook either. Trust me on this one.

I use flavored oils in everything when I have them on hand. I find myself rarely digging through the spice cabinet and instead reaching for my trusty flavored oil of the moment, whatever that might be.

Happy Easter (almost) weekend everyone! If you’re like me, you haven’t done anything whatsoever for Easter yet. I will have about fifteen people here on Sunday to celebrate not only Easter, but also our son’s fourth birthday! So, let’s get started with the most obvious Easter staple, [...]
