I Crave It, I Make It, I Eat It! What's so crazy about that?
Happy Early Valentine's Day! I have no idea why but Valentine's Day just gets me in the mood. I can't help myself. I see that 14 nearing on the calendar and I just start swooning. For Red Velvet! What the heck did you think I was talking about? I swear sometimes you folks really need to get your minds out of the gutter. I was talking about Red Velvet. Yummy chocolatey goodness tied up in a pretty red bow. … [Read more...]

Hi folks. So happy to be here today with a fabulous cookie recipe to share with you. You all know how obsessed I am with all things "turtle". It's really gotten out of hand to be honest. I have far too many turtle recipes in my recipe index. Okay that's a total lie, when can you ever have TOO many turtle recipes. There can never be too many turtles recipes in the world for my taste. I've made oodles of them. … [Read more...]
Hi folks. Okay so this one needs a little explanation. Just prepare yourself as the explanation is too cute for words. I fully expect to hear a collective "aw" as you all read this. Okay, you ready?

Hi folks. We're still on the road, probably flying down some highway right now in an attempt to get mini-me home for school tomorrow. I'm highly doubtful she'll make that first class. I told her I would try but it's a long way from Alberta to Ontario so we'll see how things go. I cannot wait to sleep in my own bed. And hug all my pets and horsey. Probably after a much-needed nap though. Naps then hugs all around. … [Read more...]
Hi folks. I want to share one of Julia Child's quotes with you all. It's one of my favourites. I believe in it wholeheartedly. But then again I believe in everything Julia had to say about cooking and eating. “Everything in moderation... including moderation.” - quote by Julia Child I try to follow this rule every day of my life. … [Read more...]
Okay so I made Paula Deen's Strawberry Cannoli Parfaits. Can you say yummilicious? I know I can. Especially after eating these things. So good. The downside.... I now know why she put the pistachios in the cream. To avoid the parfait glasses looking like they are dusty from the pistachios bits. I laughed my butt off when I looked at all my photos and realized it looks like I used unclean glasses. Live and learn. And I mean if hitting my learning curve means eating copious amounts of things … [Read more...]
Hi folks. Welcome to another edition of Burning Down The Kitchen. For those of you who are unfamiliar with this series or new to the blog, this is a weekly series where I make another blogger's recipe then interview them.

I hope you enjoy this. … [Read more...]
