Tea Time with Donsuemor

13

May

If you follow me on any social media, you may have seen my very freaked out statuses a few weeks ago. My dad had a heart attack on a quiet Wednesday, and survived, despite the odds being 98% in the favor of him not doing so. Since that quiet Wednesday, I have been taking stock [...]

Mini Mango Hazelnut Cardamom Bread

9

May

Raise your hand if you love mangoes, but they’ve always intimidated you! Up until a few weeks ago, I would have raised my hand. Every time I’ve had mango in a restaurant, I’ve loved it to bits. But I always passed it over in the supermarket – a funny foreign ingredient that I’d never use [...]

Mini Banana Toffee Walnut Bread

6

May

Sometimes inspiration comes in the form of the desperate need not to waste food. Sure, I could throw those bananas in the freezer, but there they would languish, forgotten, until they become freezer burnt beyond all recognition. As I was baking up treats for the Great American Bake Sale I looked around my kitchen and [...]

You’ve heard of the Secret Recipe Club, right? If you haven’t, let me give you the rundown: think Secret Santa, but for making and blogging a fellow blogger’s recipe. It’s such fun getting your assignment each month, mentally strolling through what might be a new-to-you blog, finding all the treasures it holds. This month I [...]

Lemonade Cheesecake

Apr

Maybe it’s just me, but the arrival of spring weather has me craving fruity, citrusy desserts. In recent years I’ve developed an increasing love for all things lemon. When I spotted this recipe for Lemonade Cheesecake on Sargento’s website, I knew I had to make it. When it comes to cheesecake, I much prefer fruity [...]

Fritos Friday: Fritos Chocolate Crunchies

30

Mar

It’s my favorite day again: Fritos Friday! I swear, I will eventually move away from pushing Fritos into candy and dessert applications, but right now, I’m really having fun with it. Fritos Chocolate Crunchies are no exception. The idea comes directly from Kaleta Doolin’s book, Fritos Pie, but I have no idea if this recipe [...]

Easter Bunny Bait

28

Mar

Easter in our family has always meant a day spent together with good food, card games, and Easter egg hunts. We’re not an overly religious family, so any religious holiday has typically been spent just appreciating each other as a family and being thankful that we have each other. I hope that it’s obvious from [...]

Fresh Strawberry Kefir Scones with Orange Glaze

15

Mar

I’m not much one for pressuring other people in the grocery store about what to buy. Over the years, I’ve become more informed about where my food comes from, and that leads me to make choices that may be different from mainstream America. Occasionally, I’ve been accused by my midwestern brother-in-law for being a food [...]
