I can’t remember exactly how I found out about the Food Blogger Cookie Swap, but as soon as I read about it, I was in. The idea was sort of like a chain letter, but yummier: You sign up, get three names and addresses, and send a dozen cookies to each of the names. Then […]
I totally meant to post these BEFORE the Army-Navy game. But then I spent a zillion hours baking “Go Navy, Beat Army” cookies, and my oven stopped working and I had to finish baking the cookies in my neighbor’s oven… and then Michael Phelps was swimming about a mile from my house, so obviously we […]
I’m really sorry I haven’t posted in a while. Things have been kinda crazy around here. Toby got promoted (yay!) and I’ve been doing all sorts of job-search-related activities, plus I baked about four dozen cookies for the Food Blogger Cookie Swap… and then decided those cookies didn’t look pretty enough so I baked another […]
I like a deal as much as the next girl, but getting up in the middle of the night to stand in line in the cold is SO not my thing. My mom and I did manage to get to the mall by about 9 a.m. yesterday (which is very early for us), since some of […]
Whether you pronounce it pee-can or puh-kahn, I love pecan pie. So much so that when I was in Afghanistan (as a reporter) and the rocket attack siren went off in the middle of dinner, I took my slice of pecan pie with me to the bunker. I may have looked ridiculous eating pie in […]
Dude. Thanksgiving totally crept up on me this year. Maybe it’s the wacky weather, but I was completely oblivious to the fact that it’s less than a week away. Yikes! Anyway, if you’re looking for something to go with the giant turkey, you can try cranberry-apple fluff, can-free cranberry sauce, coconut sweet potatoes, sweet potato-pecan […]
I am a little late on this, but I wanted to thank everyone who voted for me in the Mobbies (the Baltimore Sun’s best blog contest). I didn’t win, but I did make the top 10 in food blogs this year. Last year, you could see how everyone was ranking all the way through, but […]
Are you guys familiar with Cake Spy? She has a magical pink blog with unicorns on it. Seriously. She also does all sorts of sugary experiments and creates super cute art. You should definitely check it out. Jessie (her real name) just published an awesome cookbook — with recipes for things like Cadbury creme eggs […]
Those of you who know me in real life would probably guess that my favorite drink is a margarita. And, yes, I am definitely pro-margarita (on the rocks, no salt). But my actual favorite drink is (and has been since elementary school, sans alcohol of course) a piña colada. I mean, come on. Pineapple and […]
