Sweet Cream Biscuits

Until a couple of weeks ago, I’d never made biscuits before!  I know, tragic – right?  I don’t even think I’d ever even had a homemade  – just the ones from Popeye’s or KFC when I was a kid.  I woke up one Saturday morning with a hankering for homemade biscuits.  Also, Wayne and I had [...]

Tuesdays with Dorie – Chocolate Chocolate Cupcakes

I had all these great plans for my blog last week – good food to post and share about, redesigning a bit.  But alas, life happened and I was too busy to even respond to all my comments (but I will soon!).  As you can see, I didn’t really make chocolate chocolate cupcakes this week [...]

Tuesdays with Dorie – Pumpkin Muffins

I love fall.  I am not a big fan of summer, especially here in DC, where the summers are hot and humid.  Last week, the high was in the 80’s, so I am delighted that this week, the highest temperature we will hit is 65 degrees F.  I’m ready for sweaters, scarves, and jackets!  I [...]

Tuesdays with Dorie – Caramel Peanut Topped Brownie Cake

The last week has been a complete whirlwind.  My company needed me out in San Francisco, so I booked a ticket and was out there for a week.  They put me up in a 5-star hotel for the week, and there was no cooking to be done; but plenty of good eating.  I’ll post pictures [...]

I’m back!

As I told you during my last post, I was sent on an impromptu business trip to San Francisco – I had a day to get packed and get things ready for the week-long trip.   It was a great time, and I ate well – pics coming soon!    Sorry I have not responded [...]
