Orange Marshmallows

Orange Marshmallows, with or without chocolate chips sprinkled on top, are great for eating out of hand and sending in a care package to loved ones (in colder, drier weather). Wow this late Thanksgiving threw me for a loop. Anyone else feeling like they have no time between now and Christmas? I nearly went into…

#BundtaMonth: M&M Cream Cheese Pound Cake

October 4, 2013 By Laura 20 Comments

M&M Cream Cheese Bundt Cake

As soon as the theme for October was announced in my Bundt A Month group, I knew I would be baking my bundt cake for the elementary school carnival cake walk. Why? Because the theme is candy, and who likes candy more than kids?  Plus, I had a sneaking suspicion I would use M&Ms, since…

Caramel Glazed Popcorn with Mini Kit Kats

The days are growing shorter as the season that every food blogger dreads is getting closer. Ok I don’t really dread it, as autumn and the Holidays are my favorite season/s.

Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies with Oats

Guys! I have been married 10 years! Turning 30 did not phase me. 40 is coming soon and I feel pretty unbothered. But for some reason, realizing that I have been married for 10 years really makes me feel way too grown up! The funny part about it is, I did not even realize. John…

Rosemary Citrus Biscotti & Cashew Chipotle Beer Brittle: Review of The Daily Cookie

December 10, 2012 By Laura 6 Comments

Chipotle Cashew Beer Brittle

Was holiday cookie baking and candy making a tradition in your childhood? It was in mine. My grandma would come to visit and she and my mom would churn out gazillions of Date Nut Pinwheels and some other dried fruit/nut cookie that I don’t remember the name of (I confess I never ate either as…

December 4, 2012 By Laura 6 Comments

Sometimes you get offered a book to review that you are really excited to try cooking or baking from–but just not that time of year. I am extremely moody when it comes to the seasons and food. I don’t like gingersnaps in the spring or summer. I used to refuse to eat Indian curries in…

That doesn’t mean every dish on here is strictly authentic, but it does mean that even my adaptations are not undertaken lightly. My goal is to show you–by doing–that these dishes are possible in your kitchen. Including desserts because I have quite the sweet tooth! Read More…
