There will be Super Bowl cookie photos and meat galore later. First, some nail polish. If you couldn’t tell from the giant ballet flat at the top of the page, pink is my favorite color. But I also love purple — especially purple eye makeup and nail polish. So you can imagine my excitement when […]
Don’t worry, I didn’t forget the Packers! I was just having some trouble with the lemon curd I made earlier. I tried using the “teal” color from the Duff jewel colors pack, but it turned it blue. So don’t do that. So… the lemon curd I made tastes amazing. Unfortunately, it didn’t thicken properly. I […]
Are you ready for the Super Bowl? I’m totally not. But I do have some cookies, so that’s a good start. The first cookies I made today were Steelers macarons — yellow shells with chocolate ganache. I used the same recipe and method for the macaron shells I used during the 12 days of Christmas […]
In honor of the Super Bowl, and of those nachos I posted earlier, I bring you the best PSA ever. … ’til you explode.
You know how that guacamole salad is all fresh and healthy? These nachos are basically the opposite of that. I love them. We call these nachos something else in our house… but I am going to call them Sunday nachos, because I specifically remember eating them for lunch on Sundays. And I think they could […]
I’m planning to make — and post — Super Bowl macarons on Saturday, so if you are interested in doing the same, go ahead and separate some eggs now so your egg whites can age. This weekend I did a practice run with my sugar cookies, using the general decorating method used by Bridget of […]
We’ve been trying out some Super Bowl recipes, but not all of them have worked out that well. Sorry. That’s why we tried them early! But I figured cheese crisps are always a winner. Yes, most people call them quesadillas. But in Arizona, we called them cheese crisps. Not sure why… other than they are […]
This salad is great for Super Bowl or, really, for any party. It is colorful, delicious and even kind of healthy! (You don’t have to tell anyone that, though) You can make most of it beforehand, but you should wait until just before people arrive to add the avocados. Otherwise they may get brown and […]
Toby loves football, I love food and we both love having people over. So the Super Bowl really works for us. Last year we were semi-foiled by a major blizzard, but even that worked out OK because if everyone who RSVP’d had shown up, I don’t think we would have had enough room for everyone […]
Before I get into the story of this chili, you need to know two things: 1. It is really good. 2. It is not that hard to make. Now that I’ve gotten that out of the way, I’ll tell you that Toby and I were both pretty skeptical about it. It has a ton of […]
