We have an abundance of zucchini and yellow summer squash from the garden right now. Well, not exactly our garden. See, I plant zucchini and several varieties of squash every year in our raised bed gardens. Every single year they take off like crazy, producing many gorgeous, golden blossoms. Some even start to produce, teasing…
Plain Ol’ Vanilla Cupcake with Meyer Lemon Frosting
Plain Ol’ Vanilla. Well, actually there’s nothing plain or old about vanilla, it’s a very intriguing flavor. There’s a lot to be said about a good vanilla cupcake, no exotic flavor combinations, just the basics. And it’s tricky to perfect. I started my quest to perfect a vanilla cupcake with The Ultimate Vanilla Cupcake recipe…
Grilled Pineapple Avocado Salad
We’re stuck in a heat wave here…and you probably are, too. It’s been too hot to cook so most of our dinners have been salads or crockpot meals. I’ve fired up the grill a few nights when it cooled down enough after dark to spend a few minutes outside. This salad is delicious served atop…
My Favorite Chocolate Cupcake
I’ve been working feverishly to come up with a basic chocolate cupcake that could be used as the foundation for a multitude of frostings. I hesitate to call anything this tasty work, but I did labor over this one for awhile. It needed to be light and fluffy, yet moist. It couldn’t fall apart when…
Pie Party 2012, Chocolate-y Goodness
I can’t believe it’s time for the second annual Pie Party already! Has it really been a year? It didn’t seem like a whole year had gone by, so I dug up my post from last year. Pie Party, meant to be one day, turned into Pie Week for me in 2011. I baked with…
Jackfruit Tacos in the Crockpot
I recently attended an incredible gluten-free retreat and left with so many new ideas that I’ve barely made it out of the kitchen for a week! I’ve been whisking and chopping and baking and canning into the wee hours of the morning, inspired by the creative minds I spent a few days with. This taco…
A Conversation with Rachael Ray…about burgers.
You know I’ve got a thing for food celebrities, right? Like when I went to see the Cake Boss, or Alton Brown or Martha Stewart or…well, I’ve been to hear a few of them speak. A friend asked me recently why, why I enjoy hearing them speak, what do I hope to learn? I’m never…
Ginger Lemon Cooler
Goodness, it’s hot here! While I’d like to sit on the deck and have an icy cocktail every afternoon, I have to be somewhat productive so I’ve concocted a non-alcoholic drink for this time of year. The zing of ginger keeps me moving when the Summer heat and humidity conspire to slow me down. Maybe…
Grilled Jalapeno Poppers
Have y’all seen the new Daiya wedges? I’m crazy about Daiya shreds on my pizza and just about anything else. When I saw the wedges, I ordered as soon Vegan Essentials had them in stock. SO GOOD. I cut them into cubes and had them with crackers. I made cheeseburgers with cheese that didn’t look…
$5.20 Sweets: Chia Pudding in a Jar
Did you read the title of this post and think, “Oh, good grief! How many different chia puddings can there be floating around?” Perhaps that was followed by, “Oh, please. I’m over this in-a-jar thing. That’s so last year.” You might be out of luck with this one. Or maybe not. See, here’s the…
