My mini hamentaschen arrived — and with no casualties! Excellent packing this year, Mom 🙂
Making Pasta with Peter Pasta
A while ago, I was in Williams Sonoma and at the demonstration table they have there, the man was demonstrating how to make pasta using Ecco la Pasta pasta mixes and the KitchenAid attachments. I was mesmerized. It was the coolest thing. He made ravioli and some fettuccine. I tried the fettuccine and it was…
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
For St. Patrick’s Day, I wanted to make cupcakes. I had picked up some fantastic shamrock sprinkles and some St. Patty’s Day cupcake cupcake cups and I was determined to use them. In the true spirit of the holiday, I decided to make Chocolate Guinness Cupcakes and had found this recipe by David Lieberman (because…
Chicken Pot Pie & Brownies
For dinner last night, I made chicken pot pie. Quite delicious. Not really sure how healthy it is given the pastry crust but definitely some good comfort food. For dessert we had No Pudge brownies. They are delicious. Super easy to make and much healthier (or at least lower in calories) than normal brownies. We…

Cinnamon Buns

Dying Silk

Real Women Know How to Cook with Wine
Sometimes they even put it in the food. 🙂
Bolognese Sauce
I’ve been wanting to make bolognese sauce ever since I saw it on notmartha. I found a recipe on Allrecipes. (Allrecipes rocks.) Specifically this recipe. I left out the whole bacon part but it was still quite good and I would make it again. I would leave out the carrots next time because they were…
S’mores Cupcakes
The highlight of my baking were these s’mores cupcakes. I got the recipe from Sew Darn Cute. And they really are damn cute. I love them. Oh, and they tasted wonderful (of course, I love marshmallow cream, so that’s probably why). But seriously delicious. Those are graham cracker crumbs on the top. My frosting was…
