Man, there’s been some good eatin’ goin’ on around here! Let me see if I can summarize it all… Ham & Gruyere French Bread Pizza – Yum. Super easy. The gruyere was a little pricey, and I wasn’t sure I was going to like it with the strong smell. But it was very good. I […]

Ok, I’m back on the blog 🙂 My dad left Monday, and my mom left today. I’ve moped around missing them most of the day today, and it’s time to get moving… starting with dinner. My friend, Michele, who we visited in Chicago 2 weeks ago (and I hope to post pictures tonight!!!), introduced me […]

Seriously, these are so light and fluffy, and they mix together so easily. I doubled the recipe (for about 18 4-inch cakes). I […]

Comfort food, pure and simple. Someone brought this to a church dinner a couple weeks ago, and I was stunned at how delicious something so not-pretty could be. YUM. We had it last night for dinner, and it was super easy and just as tasty as I’d remembered. It’s straight from the Kraft Foods magazine […]

Today, I didn’t get it done in time for dinner. Bummer. But I made the dough yesterday, and finally had the time to […]
