I'd like to say it seems to be the season for food blog contests right now, but I think it's more of a matter of contests that have piqued my interest enough to go thru all the effort I inflict on myself in making my entries. The creative pondering (read full article)
If you've never checked out Feasting On Art, you should do so immediately. It really is one of the most inspired food blogs you'll find. So when it's creator, Megan Fizell, posted a recipe contest, I was SO there. The challenge? To create a r (read full article)
I've rewritten this post thirty times, nearly literally, and have realized the best way to say it, is just to say it. I've been away from Peas Love Carrots because my father passed away, suddenly, early this month. I rushed off to Enid, Oklahoma (read full article)
Having spent so much of the last few weeks in front of a computer, I am just itching to get back to the kitchen. What odd is, where I formerly would focus mainly on cooking, I recently have had a pull towards baking. I think I have this blog to t (read full article)
Have you missed me? You might've noticed, or maybe not (even worse!) that it's been slim pickins' for posts from me this month... and just a month after I promised more frequent posting. Tsk tsk on me. [Warning: excuse follows] It's a very busy (read full article)

Have I mentioned before how much I love rummaging, Truffle Pig style, thru the bins at the resale and antique stores that dot my neighborhood? Every now and then I scout (er, snout?) out a dusty pair of Italian riding boots or an old printer drawer (read full article)
Ok, so I'm posting a midweek meal on a Friday, bu it's been quite a busy week with school and the like and I wasn't able to post photos until today... sure, I could've posted the recipe on Wednesday, but without photos, lima beans are boring in most (read full article)
Did you hear? Foodbuzz is sending two very happy Featured Publishers to The S. Pellegrino Almost Famous Chef Competition! One oh-so-lucky Publisher will throw on an Elvis jumpsuit and head out to Viva! Las Vegas for the regional competition, while (read full article)
Recently there was a cooking challenge over at the Chickenless Kitchen: Cook your hobby! By that, she she meant that everyone should in some way cook something that represented in some way one of their other non-cooking hobbies. I thought it wa (read full article)
Vegetables are amazing. In looking up nutritional content for the ingredients for a midweek meal, I learned some very nifty things about what I was eating... Eggplant - Is a fabulous "diet" veggie. It's low in fat and calories, high (read full article)
The other day the talented artist and all-around-terrific food person Carol Egbert invited me to write a guest post for her. I couldn't be more thrilled - her illustrations and recipes are such that my post blushes to rub shoulders with them. You (read full article)

This is the last in the series of 4 hors d'oeuvres put together for the new decade. This one may not have eyes, but I think it still qualifies as whimsical. The colors are oh-so-pretty, and these are fairly simple to make ahead and reheat for gue (read full article)
