When it comes to hot drinks, I’ll always choose tea over coffee.  I don’t know what it is about coffee.. I love the smell, but I just can’t get into it.  I’ve never been into caffeine.  So when Rhiani picked Coffee Break Muffins for this week’s TWD, I made my tried-and-true choice and used tea […]

Dang.. I haven’t pulled out the ol’ Great Bread button in way too long!  I enjoy making bread, and it doesn’t even bother me when it takes a long time or lots of kneading.  That being said, it’s always nice to find a recipe with little effort involved, too. Most everyone has heard of the […]

I know, you’ve heard of kale chips.  They were all the rage back at the beginning of 2010.  Everyone and their Great Aunt Mildred blogged about them.  I can’t believe it took me until September to get around to baking them.  Talk about procrastination!  For shame.  But three cheers for another healthy recipe, right?  I […]

Just that title makes me hungry for another helping! In case you missed it in the last post, I’ve been chosen by the good folks at Foodbuzz to feature a month’s worth of Food&Wine recipes on Oven Love.  Cool, right?  They’re also sending me a year’s subscription to Food&Wine- amazing! What’s more amazing is that […]

Remember my epic Bake-N-Blog fail with those fig cupcakes?  Well, today I get to redeem myself with another Bake-N-Blog event.  My sweet (real-life!) friend Jess at jesstagirl and her officer decided to host a Bake-N-Blog today.  To tell you the truth, I was dragging my feet about joining in at first.  The fig cupcakes really […]

It’s not quite fall here in GA, but the hubs requested chili recently and I had to oblige.  The Steelers’ first big game was on Sunday, and that was the perfect occasion for chili and cornbread-related items.  I think they won because they knew I had already made a delicious meal and didn’t want to […]

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 […]

 Today marks the beginning of my participation in Project Food Blog!  Maybe you’ve been reading Oven Love since the first post (Hi, Mom!) or maybe you just started reading today.  Whether you’re an old friend or a new face, I just know we could be pals, and I want you to get to know me […]

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 […]

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’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.  […]
