I Crave It, I Make It, I Eat It! What's so crazy about that?
Okay, so where do I begin.... *sigh* This recipe is my Mom's. Those who read regularly likely know my Mom passed away when I was a teenager. She was incredible. She also made the BEST apple crisp in the world. Up until now I've never shared it. I am still questioning whether or not I should. Not because I don't want to... but because I messed this freaking thing up.... for the first time ever.... in over 30 years.... and I don't want to show it to you.... cuz it's … [Read more...]
Welcome to Brunch Week. Today is the last day in this series. I'm a little sad it's ending. Yet I'm super stoked to share these Raspberry Sweet Rolls with Meyer Lemon Glaze with you. Like wicked happy. Like I may have gotten carried away... and eaten ten bazillion of these little suckers. Oddly, I don't even feel bad. Like at all. Not even a little! *whips raspberry off her face and smiles wildly* … [Read more...]
There are some recipes that are so good you almost don't want to share them. They blow the minds of your guests and your family. So you think to yourself "self keep this one to yourself". This amazing pear and apple crumble inspired by the amazing Orgasmic Chef's Poached Pear and Apple Crumble is one of "those" recipes. It's simply spectacular. When I made plans to ask Maureen of Orgasmic Chef to be involved in my Burning Down The Kitchen series I knew exactly which recipe I wanted to make. … [Read more...]
Hello readers! Sorry it's been a bit since you last saw me. I've had lots going on... like this amazing Fried Apples with Apple Caramel Sauce.... a trip to emergency.... a crashed computer.... and life just sort of spiraling out of control momentarily. I've had to put posts on hold while we deal with my 'puter. All my photos were locked up inside. So no new blog posts while we tried to free them. The good news is its hitting the service department … [Read more...]

More Meyer Lemon Madness. I just love these sweet little lemons. I do not, however, love juicing the meyer lemons. Hubs picked me up 10 bags of meyer lemons. I picked up a case of regular lemons. Then I realized I had close to 100 lemons and not enough upper body strength to juice them all. I spent a few days scoping out juicers. I decided not to buy one. Then I came home and looked at my massive pile of lemons.... and I hopped back in my SUV and hightailed it back to the city. I grabbed … [Read more...]
More Meyer Lemon Madness for you today. I whipped up some incredibly tangy and delicious Meyer Lemon Bars. Then I ate the whole batch. Okay, okay, so not the whole batch.... I left 1 bar for hubs to try... And 1 bar for mini-me to try... I'm a giver people! Today I also have the distinct pleasure of sharing an interview with you. The amazingly talented Valerie of From Valerie's Kitchen agreed to be my next willing victim in the Burning Down The Kitchen Series. This lady is … [Read more...]

This may be one of the easiest cheesecakes you will ever make. I love cheesecakes that are baked in the oven, but some days I just do not have time to mess around. When I have days like that I do things like this. That way I get an amazing dessert without sacrificing hours in the kitchen. Whipping Cream Week continues. This one uses it in the filling. It's a great way to use up spare heavy cream you may have around the house. … [Read more...]
Welcome to more of Whipping Cream Week. I thought I would share some ways to use the cream you have in your fridge right now. You know we all do it. We buy a carton of cream for something then we pop it in the fridge and forget about it. Well not any more people. Pull out those cartons and have at it. You can make things like Red Velvet Cookie Stacks with Red Velvet Whipping Cream with that spare cream in your fridge. By the end of the week I hope I have you running out to buy extra whipping … [Read more...]
