Yesterday hopefully I changed your life with a “diet” cake. Seriously… a cake mix and a diet coke. That can’t be real bad. A few sugars/carbs scattered throughout all the pieces of cake so it’s not even one slice. Just think of that. But I mentioned that when I heard about that, I wasn’t sure…
You just never know what we’ll be doing on Wednesdays. I typically spend my Wednesday’s at the Extreme Sports Scuba dive shop. Today happens to be Wednesday so you know where I am, right? Well what am I doing you may ask? I wrote a blog post about a SCUBAPRO Nova 720 Flashlight with as…
I’m really not sure I should comment that when it comes to the easy stuff, I don’t always know how to make it. I know I’ve confessed this before… but that’s just how it is. If someone was making when I was younger, they didn’t teach me how. It happens sometimes. So what is my…
When we decided to have a cake decorating day, I decided maybe I should make my cake ahead of time so that we weren’t waiting on mine to bake. Good thought, right? We had access to two ovens, and there were going to be at least 3 of us that I knew about and possibly…
Over the weekend we decided to have a cake decorating day. Back in 2008 (or maybe 2007… I don’t remember) I didn’t have much better to do and really wanted to learn how to decorate cakes. It’s ironic because I’m not a huge icing fan… I prefer the cake without icing… Go figure. So they…
Have you ever had chocolate covered strawberries? OMG, they are awesome. Obviously that’s just my opinion but my opinion counts so it’s all good. When my mom was pregnant with me, I guess she craved strawberries. There were 3 stores in town and every night she’d go to a different one, buy a quart of…
There is one magazine I love to get and that’s Food Network. I really credit Food Network for my love of cooking. Truthfully it was my grandma’s (both of them), but when I went to college I kind of lost that until I stumbled across Rachael Ray’s 30 Minute Meals show… I then somehow became…
If you were to ask me what my favorite kind of pie was… well I have 2. I love Cherry Pies but I also love Coconut Cream Pies as long as they aren’t topped with Meringue. I’m not a big fan of the Meringue. I have a hard time deciding between the two as my…
If there is one thing I can tell you I shouldn’t do when I’m tired, it would be bake or cooking in general. I make mistakes, I forget things, it’s just not good. Take my word for it. I’m actually sitting here thinking maybe I shouldn’t blog either, but this was when I had a…
I have been on a cookie kick somewhat lately between all the dozens of sugar cookies I’ve made to the no bake cookies to Neiman Marcus Cookies. I guess after a long day, especially if it hasn’t been ideal, it’s nice to know you can go into the kitchen, mix sugars, butters, vanillas, and flours…
