A friend challenged me this week to come up with lower-carb vegetarian dinner recipes. I’m not well-versed in the low/no-carb way of cooking, but did take on the challenge to at least reduce the amount of carbs in a recipe I’ve made many times. Reduced-carb, is that a new thing? Usually when I make stuffed…
Honey Macadamia Banana Breakfast Bake
I’ve been on vacation for a bit. Did you miss me? Even though I didn’t blog while vacationing, I spent plenty of time coming up with new baking ideas and scouting out fun food finds I’m excited to share with you. The first few finds come from Paradise Meadows Farm. While on the Big Island…
$5.20 Sweets: Docinhos De Abobora, Brazilian Pumpkin Candy
My friend Sue recently embarked on a grand adventure, moving from the Midwest to Brazil. Many of her friends came together for a Brazilian Bash, a beautiful going away soiree. It was a lovely evening, filled with fun people, food, dancing and of course, lots of laughter. I met Sue a few years back through…
Chocolate Hazelnut No-Bake Cheesecake, World Nutella Day 2012
Yep, I’m at it again, making more Sweets for World Nutella Day. Except I’m yet again not using Nutella. I’m using Justin’s Chocolate Hazelnut Butter, which is like Nutella, only slightly thicker and with a hint of sea salt. Good stuff! In a world free of dietary restrictions, food allergies and intolerances, I’d call this…
Chocolate Hazelnut Twist Donuts
It’s time to fire up the oven for World Nutella Day! I’ve been working on a few chocolate hazelnut recipes to share with you, but first up is a yummy baked donut. A yummy baked donut that is gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free, almost vegan, chocolate-y, hazelnut-y…it’s just good! Because I’m trying to put a stop to…

I Ate Here: Cafe Sebastienne at the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art
It’s Restaurant Week in Kansas City. Special prix-fixe menus are being offered at many restaurants around town, $15 at lunch and $30 at dinner for a multi-course meal. It’s such a great way to check out new restaurants in town or visit old favorites, plus 10% of the food purchase price is donated to Harvesters. …
cupcakes, cookies & pie, oh, my!: A Book Review
A couple of years ago, I went to a book signing and cupcake decorating demonstration with Karen Tack & Alan Richardson, the amazing duo behind the Hello, Cupcake! and What’s New, Cupcake! cookbooks. It was such a fun day, packed full of info on making super cute cupcakes. At the time, I couldn’t imagine what…
$5.20 Sweets: Rice Krispie Cupcakes
I’m all about Valentine’s Day right now. If it’s pink and red, I’ve stuck it to the wall, used it to decorate the kitchen table and cooked with it. Not even a container of pink frosting could evade me. I made these adorable rice krispie treat cupcakes and topped them with ready-made (gasp!) frosting. I…
My Thoughts on Paula Deen and Diabetes
After Paula Deen announced she has Type 2 Diabetes, my Facebook and Twitter feeds were full of folks criticizing her, the internet was abuzz with criticism. Plenty of folks were sarcastically feigning surprise at her announcement, basically condemning all that she is. I’ve spent two days trying to process all of this, watching with sadness…
