I’m going to go ahead and say it again: fall is my favorite season. Of all the months in fall, however, November is my favorite. Why? Because of Thanksgiving. Why do I love Thanksgiving? Because it’s the best food holiday on the calendar. Bar none. Forget Fourth of July hot dogs, Valentine’s Day chocolates, Easter [...]

By now, you probably know I love fall. It’s not just for the warm, fuzzy sweaters, mind you, but also for the yummy and comforting foods. When I think of fall foods, I immediately think of Thanksgiving dinner (pause to wipe away drool) and how delicious a turkey dinner can be. But I also think [...]

I baked.  For this weekend’s baking adventure I decided against whipping up a cake and opted for rolling out cookies, and since I was craving chocolate, the natural choice was to bake chocolate chip cookies.  The easy choice would be to go get one of those pre-packaged break and bake cookies but I was feeling [...]

Right now, at this very moment in time, I am experiencing a serious craving for lychees.  I want the big, fat juicy ones that have been chilling in the fridge too.  These sweet and juicy tropical fruits are native to China and I miss them dearly.  Size-wise they’re somewhere between a big red grape and [...]

No, it’s not my birthday yet, but some of my friends are already making asking me about what plans I’d like to make.  Really, there’s still so much time that I haven’t given it much thought, and I’m a planner!  But the Food Network was on and I think it was Cake Boss or something, [...]

By now you may know that I love food, and food, of course, includes candy.  Now, when it comes to food, it’s hard for me to crown one type or dish that’s supreme above all others.  I can’t do it – I just love them all and happily gorge it all down.  But when it [...]

Crab bisque is awesome.  If you don’t like crab or bisque or things that are awesome, we can’t be friends because crab bisque is awesome.  Why am I talking about crab bisque? Because I had it for lunch today and even though that happened over an hour ago, I’m still thinking about it.  Why?  Because [...]

I used to drink a lot of coffee, and by coffee I suppose I mean espresso.  I’d gulp down cappuccinos and lattes, loving all the noises coming from the steaming wand and eyeing all the froth that’d result.  Now, as a result of spending way too much at Starbucks and worrying about stains on my [...]

You know what I love?  Crepes.  Yeah, it’s a big surprise that I love food but crepes, if you’ve somehow never ever had them before because you’ve been stuck under a rock, are such a great dessert.  These super thin pancakes are a French creation and can be filled with just about whatever you like. [...]

I love food – I’m a total foodie who loves to try new foods and eat yummy things.  And while I like making appetizers and roasting and marinating and simmering and slicing and dicing, I also happen to love desserts. Yes everyone, this girl likes sweets and she likes to bake.  I surf around the [...]
