Champagne Grape Upside-Downer
Friends, this week I had a stroke of TWD genius. The chosen recipe was Dorie’s Cranberry Upside-Downer, picked by Sabrina of Superfluous. I had a couple of cranberries in the freezer, but I wasn’t really feeling ready to break them out. Then I found some champagne grapes (at WalMart, of all places!) and it was […]

BLT Guacamole
Forgive me in advance for all of the guac puns.. but this stuff is guaclicious. It’ll knock your guacs off. let’s Guac and roll! okay, out of my system. Anyone who’s anyone loves guacamole, which obviously means we’re all guac lovers here. If you’re not, you will be, since adding bacon to a recipe […]
Honey Barbecue Sauce
Oh, you were expecting me to make homemade barbecue sauce like three months ago so you could actually use the recipe in the summer? Oh. Sorry. Forgive me? This was one of the recipes on my kitchen to-do list for the summer. It’s based on Steph’s barbecue sauce recipe at A Whisk and A Spoon. […]
S’more Brownies
S’mores are one of the yummiest parts of summer. They were all over the blogs this summer in every form imaginable- s’more cookies, s’more cookie bars, s’more brownies, s’more milkshakes, s’more cupcakes, s’mores on a stick, s’more anything. I spotted these brownies over at Sugar Cooking and have been planning to make them all summer. […]
Mahimahi with Bacon Tomato Butter
I told you I was on a fish kick. And that was no joke! This recipe is even better than I hoped, and I had very high hopes for it. (High-apple-pie-in-the-sky hopes.) I dog-eared it forever ago, and finally got around to trying it. Husband said it was”to die for”- and he doesn’t say that […]
Quick Corn and Goat Cheese Grits with Bacon
Do you ever plan so much for a big holiday meal or party that you forget about what you’re going to eat the rest of the week? That happens to me often. I plan meals for the week, but then I get home from the store and get a kick in the pants from reality. […]
Pimento Chevre Grilled BLT
Dear Pimento Chevre Grilled BLT, I never expected to like you. You are surprisingly delicious, and also very hard to photograph. Love, Natalie. Friends! The awesome folks at Belle Chevre sent me some delicious goat cheese to sample, just in time for a post during National Goat Cheese Month (there’s a month for everything, nowadays). […]
Rainbow Cake
Yesterday, I showed you a big fat slice of Rainbow Cake and I didn’t give you the recipe. How rude! I’ve seen rainbow cakes before (like Aleta’s!) and I’ve made rainbow cupcakes, and I’ve drooled over this crazy rainbow cake experiment, but Whisk Kid’s rainbow layer cake was so stunning, I just had to make […]
Project Food Blog and a Photo Shoot
Once upon a time, long long ago, I became a Foodbuzz Featured Publisher. It’s a pretty cool gig, and I love being a part of the Foodbuzz community. A few months ago, Foodbuzz came up with the idea for Project Food Blog– a huge contest to find the best food blogger out there. There are […]
