This recipe started, like all good recipes, as something else. That something else is Nigella Lawson’s Guinness Chocolate Cake, which comes from her cookbook Feast. We have two birthdays in the month of March in our house, and St. Patrick’s Day falls smack in the middle of them, so this cake turned into my husband’s […]

Whoever said that a picture is worth a thousand words knew what they were talking about. When I spied the picture for the Bleu Cheese Onions in a special magazine from Taste of Home, Prize Winning Recipes, I was in. In enough that I forked over ten bucks for the magazine. I love all the […]

Recently, New York City’s Metropolitan Pavilion hosted the 12th annual Chocolate Show. I learned a few tasty things.

If you aren’t, but you’re curious and want to […]

With my wedding swiftly approaching (September 26th) and our departure for the wedding location coming even faster (September 20th), I am, as you can surely imagine, running around like a chicken with its head cut off. It’s a cliche but - so much to do, so very little time!
For the most part, I won’t be […]

I have the pleasure of living in the D.C. area, which means that I can be a frequent visitor to any and all of the free, national museums. When I was younger, though, visiting the capitol was a big deal. My grandparents lived (and still do) in this area, so we would come up and […]

Although she didn’t […]
