Bourbon Bacon Beans over Seared and Baked Chicken Breasts

Bourbon Bacon Beans are a sweet and savory side dish that pairs perfectly with milder proteins, like chicken breasts. This is a sponsored post via Kitchen Play, in which I have been paid a sum of money to both try Tesoro tomatoes and discuss using them. I was sent Cooking Slow for the purpose of…

Pumpkin Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting

November 22, 2012 By Laura 7 Comments

Happy Thanksgiving! I had not originally planned to share these cupcakes. I was not super enthused about making them, is the honest truth.

Orange Pumpkin Bundt Cake cooling in fleur de lis pan

Pumpkin Whoopie Pies: Baking With Sammy

October 30, 2011 By Laura 5 Comments

During the years I lived in State College, PA, I saw many pumpkin whoopie pies for sale.  And for some reason I always stared longingly but talked myself out of buying.  I have no idea why–some misguided attempt to be healthy?–but whatever the reason I had never made nor eaten whoopie pies before Sammy’s and…
