I have a weakness for candy apples. I don’t think I ever had one as a kid. I’m not sure why, but I just never had one until after I was married and decided to make my own. When I took that first bite, I think I fell in love. Caramel and apples are meant…

A Month of Pie: Pumpkin Pie using Homemade Pumpkin Puree
Lets talk for a minute about whether or not its worth making your own pumpkin puree, rather than just popping open a can of Libby’s. I wondered this myself. Was my pie going to taste bad? Was it going to be too labor intensive to be worth it? Am I crazy for actually wanting…
A Month of Pie: Lime-Coconut Pie with Macadamia-Coconut Crust
Today’s pie is my favorite pie to date. It reminds me of my Bath and Body Works Coconut Lime Verbena body lotion that I used to wear in high school. I used to wear it because my high school crush (now my hubby) loved that scent, so of course he loved this pie. It is…
Homemade Sugar Sprinkles (Colored Sanding Sugar)
This was one of those things that I thought up all on my own. I was super excited about it and went crazy one afternoon making color after color. After I made a bundle of colors, I decided to see if anyone else had thought of making their own sanding sugar. After a quick Google…
Layered Banana Cake
A few weeks ago, my husband and I were both doing our own thing in the same room. I think I was actually just sitting there pondering and he was putting away dishes or something productive. I was deep in thought and after quite awhile of silence, I loudly announced, “I want to make a…

Tres Leches Cake
So you all probably saw my last post announcing the coming of a little one into my family this February. I am super excited and happy, but the fatigue and food aversions have really taken a toll on my blog. I just haven’t been in the kitchen as much lately. Not to mention I did…

Arriving at my house February 2013!
White Bean Kale Soup
My husband loves vegetables. He has never met a vegetable he didn’t like. Sadly, I have. I like most veggies, but I’m not a fan of eggplant. It makes my mouth tingle and itch. (Does that mean I’m allergic to it? I don’t know.) I am picky about my tomatoes, celery, and onions. They have…
Coconut Mango Sticky Rice Popsicles
I’m back from my little vacation from blogging. I went a little while without posting. I have had some very time consuming things come up in my life recently and I just haven’t had the energy to make time to blog. I don’t know about you and where you live, but here in Columbus we…
