Brown Sugar Tea Cake . . . wanna piece?

You can find me guest posting over at bell’alimento (one of my all-time favorite blogs)! I am sharing my recipe for Brown Sugar Tea Cake—a light (low calorie and low fat!) cake that isn’t light on flavor. Starting tomorrow, the rest of this week is all about miso soup!

We are currently in Utah enjoying spending time with family. It has been snowy and cold the whole time we’ve been here, which I guess is to be expected, since it is winter. But I must say that living in Southern California for the past year and a half has turned me into a total […]

Milton Snavely Hershey, the founder of the Hershey Chocolate Company, once said, “Caramels are only a fad. Chocolate is a permanent thing.” With that in mind, I figured I had better help you out by taking the caramel recipe I shared with you yesterday from the realm of fad to permanent popularity. Once you have […]

Daring to Attack Macs (again)!

In my last mac post I wrote, “I’ve learned that this is not the last time that macarons and I shall meet. I am determined to get this right.” Well, true to my word, I’m back with more macs! The Daring Bakers provided the impetus for my most recent mac escapade. The 2009 October […]

Fried Apples Recipe

I love apple season because apple season means apple cider, fresh apple sauce, apple curry, and apple desserts.

Recently, I received an e-mail from STARFRIT […]

Kheer Frozen Yogurt Pops

I recently received some coupons from Stoneyfield Farm to try their line of organic Greek yogurt called Oikos. I love Greek yogurt, and so decided to do a little taste testing so that I could get an accurate picture of where Oikos stood compared to some of the other Greek yogurts I have eaten in […]
