One part opportunity, one part spontaneity, whip vigorously
I dropped the ball this Easter. I simply ran out of time with work and friends visiting, so I didn’t bake the Easter dessert. I had already bought all the ingredients to bake the cake; the past few days they have just been staring at me, making me feel guilty and making me think about…
My Mom’s side of the family is Polish so each year we make pierogi and borsch. I’ve grown up making these every year and enjoying every part of the tradition. This tradition is one I don’t question but washing with silver on Christmas Eve for wealth is one I do, but of course you have…
I can’t believe the eve of Christmas Eve is upon us already! I think part of the reason why it doesn’t feel like Christmas is because I am in Texas and there isn’t any snow but good ole’ Michigan couldn’t get it together either to make it a white Christmas so I think I just…
(Kara in her amazing Halloween costume) Not to leave my little sister out, because she is amazing as well, but this post is about my older sister, and of course food. Kara, my older sister, is such a great older sister that she earned her own day, which I titled “Kara Appreciation Day.” This…
My other Aunt and Uncle wanted to cook their own turkey so we had Thanksgiving again on Friday night. I think this is going to be a new tradition for me. It was a smoked turkey this time around and it was delicious, and oh the mashed potatoes were amazing!! My mom’s birthday is this…

I heard the greatest quote the other day; “The greatest things in life are family, friends and Thanksgiving.” I couldn’t have said it better myself. I hope everyone is starting to have a hard time sleeping in anticipation for the greatest holiday. Now I hope the anticipation is because you are so excited to cook…
I have been grounded basically for these past couple months and this has been the longest grounding for me in at least the last four years. When I say grounding, I’m not speaking of the type of grounding your mom gave to you, but I’m speaking in a literal term. I’ve been grounded due to…
It’s November and I’m in full-blown pumpkin mode. Every time I look for a recipe recently I’m looking for something that includes pumpkin; whether it is the star or just a team player. I’ve been making a lot of desserts with pumpkin so I decided it was time to switch it up and make a…
It’s fall which means pumpkin season has arrived. By now I expect everyone has had more than a few pumpkin spice lattés and if you are like me you are on the pumpkin prowl. Anything that has pumpkin in the title, recipe, or looks orange I’m making or trying. I love and adore pumpkins. …
