One part opportunity, one part spontaneity, whip vigorously
Happy New Year!! I hope everyone had an amazing time welcoming 2013 last night. I found a recipe for a German new year’s pretzel that is supposed to bring good luck throughout the year. We used the pretzel loaf for French toast this morning— fingers crossed we ate enough. German New year’s Pretzel from America’s…
Christmas has come and gone and what that means is lots of dishes are left in its path. This year our traditional polish meal of pierogis and mushroom borscht were created in the tiny kitchen of my sisters new house in the Highlands in Denver. It’s a tiny kitchen but we made it work with…
When we have a loaf of challah in the house its lucky if it makes it to the next day. I love it. It is sweet and light and doughy and I just eat it slice, after slice, after slice. As soon as I had my first taste of challah I knew I wanted to…
Sorry to have taken so long to post, but its been a really busy week. My dad called me Saturday as I was driving to work to inform me and my and sister that he would be stopping in for a visit on Sunday aka tomorrow. I was obviously excited but that also meant everything…

Each bite is moist and soft,…

Hope everyone had a awesome Cinco de Mayo and one too many margaritas! Heres a recipe for the best tortilla chips ever! Super simple and they are so much better than store bought tortilla chips. Simple cut corn tortillas into quarters, spray with Pam olive oil then salt them and bake at 350. Cook first…
Like I mentioned in my previous post about the orange cake I was really behind this Easter as far as baking/cooking goes. In my family along with the mushroom borscht we make at Christmas there is a borscht we make for Easter. This is the first Easter I was away from my family so I…
