Making good from leftovers
Sometimes a fridge-full of food is daunting. Which was the case after our camping trip and a batch of leftovers we gratefully took home from a friend’s rehearsal dinner. Our fridge was full of bratwurst, hot dogs, homemade tzatziki sauce, watermelon, sweet corn and chicken pesto linguini, to name a few. What did we do? 1) [...]Archive

The World ‘Wild’ Web and Chocolate Chip Cookies
The blog world is a crazy, mixed up world. Everything is interconnected, so when someone posts a new, trendy item, just like fad diets, the item spreads across the blogger’s highway and multiple posts will pop up stemming from the same original recipe.

Baking and Pastry – Day 17
Gol’ Darn Tiramisu Don’t ask me why, but this gol’ darn tiramisu took me five and half hours to make. It was a long night in class. And hot in that kitchen. But, the end result was pretty awesome. Worth the wait? Not sure. It disappeared pretty quickly once I took it to work the [...]Archive

Bittersweet IU
Reminiscing about the good ol’ days is something I do a lot. Michael says sometimes it’s to a fault. I can’t help it, I’m a nostalgic person! Don’t blame me for having an awesome childhood! Most of the time I reminisce about the Resort or fun times in high school, but this past weekend, a [...]Archive

Baking and Pastry – Days 15 and 16
Cakes and Cake Assembly One of the many fond memories I have of the Resort is when I would help my mom by making a birthday cake for one of our guests. Most of the cakes I made were of the boxed variety, and my decorating technique was…haphazard….at best. But I think my kitschy cakes [...]Archive
