I'd be perfectly happy eating at Red Lobster and not ordering a single thing off the menu, just eating their famous cheddar bay biscuits (especially now that I'm spoiled by some of the freshest and most delicious seafood in the world living in the Pacific Northwest). But those Cheddar Bay Biscuits were one of my favorite things to eat as a kid,...

Blood oranges are my new favorite citrus fruit. All I've been dreaming of lately is a citrusy and sugary blood orange glaze. What could be a more perfect canvas on which to drizzle the fabulous combination of blood orange juice and powdered sugar than a scone? Make that an almond scone. Perfect with a chai tea latte or cup of coffee for a quick...

It's been way too long since I've baked with peanut butter, and the thought of a peanut butter and chocolate chip muffin with a cold glass of milk in the morning really hit the spot. These muffins aren't too bad for you since they use whole wheat flour and have a good amount of fiber. These muffins are dense and make a very filling...

After weeks of waiting, I finally managed to get my bag of cinnamon chips. According to the Hershey's product locator, the only stores remotely close to us that sell Hershey's cinnamon chips are Albertson's, which we never go to. This quick trip to Albertson's marked our fourth trip to a grocery store that day (no, not looking for cinnamon...

Oh, wow in the simplicity of this. My mom gave me this recipe from way back before I was born. Butter Dips are delicious, golden brown, crunchy-on-the-outside, warningly-soft-on-the-inside treats soaked and baked in melted butter. It's perfect for a quick prep meal that gets everyone eating and dipping and sharing. And if you have a few left...

There's one food we missed on our trip to Italy last spring. Don't worry it isn't gelato. We got plenty of that. The food we missed was focaccia bread. I've always like the herbed flatbread, but I've never had it at a nice restaurant or homemade. Making this at home really makes me think we need to go back to Italy and try some real focaccia....

My mom always tried to get me to eat carrot cake when I was younger, but carrots in a cake? I didn't like carrots, and I didn't want a delicious cake ruined by a gross orange vegetable, so naturally I refused to even try it. But it's really amazing how you can change to the flavor of something by adding a bunch of sugar. Now carrot cake is...

I hate beer. No wait, I absolutely loathe beer. My contempt of beer knows no bounds. I don't like fruit beer. I don't like hazelnut beer. I don't like chocolate beer. However, when I see a dish made with beer, I am instantly intrigued. I don't know why. It makes zero sense to me too. Kind of like how I'm addicted to cherry coke, but can't...

Baking was a really bad hobby for me to get into. I love anything that involves creating a batter. Because I like to eat "anything" batter. Even when it contains raw eggs and it should straight into the oven, not my mouth. The batter to make these muffins is good. I would know. I ate enough of it. I bookmarked this recipe when we had an...

This bread is more banana than strawberry, therefore I called it banana strawberry bread. However Dustin informed me that name was wrong and it should be called strawberry banana bread, like a smoothie. We always have bananas in the house, so I'm always making banana bread. I never make the same recipe twice because there are so many good...
