I am a huge fan of Bethenny Frankel (I love the The Real Housewives of New York City and Bethenny Getting Married) and I recently started following her on Twitter. Every day someone tweets her about how they tried one of her recipes and it was (read full article)
When I get home from work there is often about half a cup of coffee left in my french press. Some days I am in the need of a little something, so I make myself a pick-me-up drink. It's super simple and tasty...unless you think the coffee (read full article)
I love cookies and am always testing "low fat" or "light" cookie recipes. A while ago (I cannot remember how long ago...sometime in the last year...) I saw a recipe in Cooking Light that raved about a perfect, chewy, chocolate chip cookie that wasn't (read full article)
I love cobblers, especially in the summer when berries and peaches are in season. Cooking Light magazine did a feature on various cobbler recipes last month. I used their Peach and Blueberry Cobbler recipe as a model for the cobbler I mad (read full article)
Berries are the best this time of year. Lately, I have been buying big containers of strawberries and blueberries. I eat them all the time and freeze a bunch for smoothies or to bake with later in the month.Last week, I bought a (read full article)
Last weekend, my husband and I visited friends in Cincinnati. I lived in Cincinnati for eight years and consider it my home. {I also am thinking daily positive thoughts for my husband to get transferred back to Cinci!}While I was in C (read full article)
My husband's brother, wife and their baby are in town visiting and the other day was my brother in law's birthday. He told me he loves cheesecake, so I decided to make him some for his birthday. Personally, I am not a huge cheesecake fan, (read full article)
Monday was my two year wedding anniversary, so I made a meal that my husband loves (steak and French fries) and a dessert that I love – pudding pie.I usually make a chocolate version of this pie, but decided to live dangerously and do a vanilla pud (read full article)
I love a good fruit cobbler. They are easy and can be made with so many different fruits. You might remember last summer when I made Peach Cobbler. Well, this recipe is the exact same thing, except I used apples instead of pea (read full article)
In honor of my lovely puppy's first birthday, I made him a cake. Finn loves peanut butter and bananas, so I used both of those ingredients in this simple cake.The best thing about dogs is that they will pretty much eat anything, so don't (read full article)
I saw a coffee cake recipe in the March (2010) issue of Cooking Light that looked irresistible, so I decided to try it. The recipe calls for old fashioned oats that have been toasted (baked in the oven for 6 minutes) and processe (read full article)
Sunday was my husband's birthday and he requested a "proper Irish Sherry Trifle." I couldn't find sherry (well, I didn't really look), so I excluded that. Plus, I didn't want to buy a bottle of something and only use a drop.My husband's s (read full article)
I realized today that it has been two weeks since I posted anything about food! I will post some dishes I made over the holidays this week. And hopefully some healthy new-year's-resolution-esque dishes.I made these simple and amazing dess (read full article)
Ok, so maybe it isn't "world" famous, but it is the best tiramisu ever. I know I am biased, but my husband agrees with me. He is probably biased too, however he is the first to admit when he doesn't like something. The man is a (read full article)

Whenever the bananas in my house are over ripe, I either make banana bread (or muffins) or freeze them to make bread/muffins in the next few weeks. This morning I opened my freezer and saw five over ripe frozen bananas....I realized I had been (read full article)
Some more items from the 4th of July meal I made last weekend....Dessert. I have a confession to make. I am a sugar addict. It is sad, but true. I think it's a result of just being alive. Or maybe the result of being a human. Probably being a human t (read full article)
My dad's favorite cookie is oatmeal chocolate chip. My grandma (his mom) used to make batch after batch of these when she would visit us. She would freeze them and we would have cookies for months!I always wanted to eat the dough, but she said I wou (read full article)
