Who loves French Toast – raise your hand! I don’t make it often, but French Toast is one of those breakfasts I vividly remember my dad making when I was a kid. My dad excels at breakfast-making more than any other meal, and I think it’s probably his favorite meal of the day too. When [...]

I may be in the minority here, but I love hot chocolate any time of year. There’s just something so alluring about that drinkable chocolate goodness.. I can’t help myself! I think maybe my Keurig may have something to do with this. Ever since we first got our Keurig, I’ve been a huge fan of [...]

If you’ve never heard of Chuao Chocolatier, you’re in for a treat. I had a chance to sample some of their chocolates last year, quite randomly, around Easter. At the time, their hazelnut praline Easter Bunny with popping candy was flat out the best piece of chocolate I’d ever eaten. It was like fireworks of [...]

As the saying goes, eggs are eggstraordinary. As far as I’m concerned, eggs are the most versatile food on the planet. You can prepare them in thousands of ways, pair them with ingredient after ingredient – from flour to truffles, and the resulting dish will be stupendous.  You should know, though, that not all eggs [...]

We love pork in this house. And beer. Two of the few things a Texan and a Brit might have in common from the very start, wouldn’t you say? A couple of weeks ago, James came home with a six pack of Sam Adam’s Octoberfest beer. Now, I’m not a beer drinker. But I loooooove [...]

I have this relationship with Green Mountain Coffee. No, I don’t specifically mean the company, though I do have one of those too.

Pieces that I inherited from Nanny or my mom, things that I grew up using. I’ve spoken before about my favorite ice cream scoop, a scoop [...]
