Weekend Hiatus: Stephanie’s Bridal Shower
This weekend is going to be amazing. I’m headed back to PA for my soon-to-be sister-in-law’s bridal shower. Along with the help of my mom and my aunt, I’ll be preparing all the food for the occasion. I’m so excited, and I want to tell you all about the menu now, but I’m afraid you’ll […]
Tuesdays with Dorie: French Pear Tart
Happy one year anniversary, TWD! While I haven’t been a part of the TWD group for a full year, it’s still cause for celebration. Since my very first challenge (Chocolate Chunkers back in September), I’ve loved being a part of the group. Each new recipe teaches me something new about baking, and I’m so thankful […]
Update: Camera Battery Found!
Fear not! Oven Love will be back in action starting tomorrow. Look forward to some tasty desserts for this week’s challenges (You Want Pies with That? and Tuesdays with Dorie). Nick and I did have a super-delicious recipe tonight, though. I was feeling a little french, and Nick just likes meat, so I picked Steak […]
Photo Drama!
I’ve misplaced my spare camera battery/charger, and all of the camera batteries are dead. I plan to search the house today. Bear with me and I’ll be back up soon!

Chicken Showdown: Panko vs. Tortilla Chips
As every month comes to an end, so does our food budget here at the Herr household. Usually, that just means I have a bunch of ingredients that I don’t have any plans for, and Nick and I throw something together on a whim. Last night, we had a few chicken breasts and a taste […]
Daring Bakers: Regrets
I can’t tell you how much I wanted to make the Buche de Noel for the December Daring Bakers challenge. I was so looking forward to it. But things got busy. And I got sick. And the recipe took multiple days. By the time December 30 arrived, I had run out of time. My regrets, […]
Tuesdays with Dorie: (Not so) Tall and Creamy Cheesecake
This week’s TWD pick was Tall and Creamy Cheesecake, chosen by the lovely Anne at Anne Strawberry. Two reasons I didn’t actually make a full-sized cheesecake: 1. Nick bought me a set of very cute mini springform pans for Christmas and I wanted to try them out.2. We do not need a full-sized cheesecake sitting […]
Birthday Excuses
There has been/will be a lack of posting for the next few days. The holidays are crazy enough on their own, but today also brings with it my 22nd birthday. Rather than spending the day online, coming up with some clever post about birthday cake or something, I am going to enjoy it with the […]
Winter Flavors: Apple Juice Pork with Squash and Golden Raisins
For the last few months, I’ve been hearing about a small chain of grocery stores in Dayton called Dorothy Lane Markets. A week or two ago, I headed over to check it out. My friends had praised DLM for their great cuts of meat, so it sounded like a perfect place to get the pork […]
