I am a dessert addict. It’s a rare evening when I don’t have some kind of dessert after dinner. I love the evenings where I get to enjoy something homemade as an after dinner treat.
Bread pudding is one of those desserts I always expected to just order at a restaurant. As I’m learning more and more about cooking and pushing myself to try new things, I’m realizing how many recipes I think are too difficult but I can totally handle- and you can, too! [Read more…]
Spring is here and all the signs of its splendor are welcomed with open arms. The bulbs are pushing up through cold, dark earth. The trees are pink with their cotton-candy blooms and the rains come and go, quenching the land and making us feel as if the best place on earth is by the window wrapped in a well-loved quilt, hot cup of tea in hand.
It is easy this time a year to get a little too excited about all the spring bounty to then come crashing down when you pop over to your farmers market. Spring is here, but only barely and though we have some new baby greens peeking out, spring onions and green garlic of course is here, mostly it’s our winter veggies that are still at the harvest; after all things need a chance to grow!
This recipe is so fun, and so cute, it could be made for so many events. Brunch, baby showers, wedding showers, birthday parties, or so many other ideas!
They are so easy. I made these for Easter brunch, so I used pastel sprinkles. I found the dot sprinkles at Michael’s Craft store. I also grabbed some sucker sticks at Michaels, and some pink and white candy disks that melt.
This grilled cheese. I mean, first off, cheese and bread in itself is one of the best inventions ever created. Grilled on a warm griddle with butter, I mean, c’mon! But, I took this grilled cheese to a whole new level, and even though I just made it this afternoon, I am tempted to go right back in that kitchen and make it again for dinner.
The ingredients I chose to make this amazing grilled cheese were a work of art. This grilled cheese was creamy, crunchy, savory, smoky and just a bit of sweetness. Oh man, I am literally drooling just thinking about eating it.
As I was taste testing my creation, it was so good that I couldn’t just enjoy this myself, I called my brother over right away to help me enjoy this masterpiece. He didn’t understand the urgency to rush over for just a grilled cheese until he tasted it. He said he would never doubt me again when I say to get over here and eat what I just made!
