When my grandmother would bring one of her famous souffles to the dinner table everyone would ohhh and ahhh. When I was young I simply attributed this to the fancy french title. I thought to my (young) self: oh, we are dining like the Parisians tonight. How fancy, my younger self thought! When I was [...]
When I was a kid and wanted a quick treat I would often make sugar free instant pudding from the box. You know the kind – pudding mix, add milk, whisk like mad for 5 minutes while it thickens up, pour into 4 little dishes and into the fridge they go to set up. Sometimes [...]
My fingers worked quickly as they scurried around the mixing bowl, blending butter and flour. My mind was working equally as fast.

It was one of those days. That day that despite the sun shining, there was a fresh layer of snow on the ground to greet me in the morning. That day in which hours of carefully planned out ideas were presented…and quickly dismissed. Or the wrong order arrives, a moment of dread steps in, then calm [...]
Who would ever think to put carrots in pancakes?! Joy the Baker did in her cookbook, this is who! The Sundays with Joy Baking Group tackled all things carrot cake this week. Joy the Baker created this recipe and I must say it was a fabulous idea. If you like carrot cake and like pancakes [...]
