My New Tassimo Brewbot & Giveaway

It’s hard to bring myself to brew an entire pot of coffee because the dark rich liquid ends up getting cold by the time I reach the bottom of the pot. Plus, I like to shake things up a bit by interchanging between Chai Latte, Green Tea and rich Hot Chocolate choices on occasion. Recently, [...]

Slow Cooker Stuffing

It was always a family tradition to fill the cavity of the turkey with bread stuffing during Thanksgiving. Naturally, I continued such a tradition in my early adult years. My entire turkey roasting experience changed when I decided to cook the stuffing in a slow cooker while the bird cooked in the oven. This not [...]

Mini Brie Popovers

A vision of hosting a wine and cheese party sometime over the holidays has been dancing in my head recently. With a small gathering of guests bringing their favorite varieties, it’s a perfect way to try different wines while being surrounded by the warmth of the season.

Roasted Apple & Butternut Squash Soup

Butternut squash isn’t typically a go-to vegetable in my cooking routine. But I couldn’t help but pick up a delicious golden orb during a recent trip to the farmers market. I also happened to have a rather large bin full of apples after that unforgettable impulsive purchase at an orchard last weekend. I found this [...]

Super Rich No Bake Bites

I’m the type of person who will go to the market to pick up a gallon of milk and end up with a trunk full of groceries. This tends to happen more often than you might think. Don’t laugh. I’m sure you have found yourself impulsively buying goodies because they were “buy one, get one [...]

Roasted Tomato & Basil Soup

The warm summer days are nothing more than a distant memory now. But that’s ok because I’m a huge fan of fall for two reasons. I get to wear sweaters and roast vegetables. Sometimes I even wear a sweater while I’m roasting vegetables. This recipe is a little heartier than a traditional tomato soup with [...]
