It’s been chilly here in Cali lately. Soup kind of weather if you will. When I first learned to cook while I was in college, my aunt got me a subscription to Taste of Home magazine. It was there that I got my first inspirations to cook. One of the first things I made was this Peasant Pasta Stew. One

Halloween is just around the corner. Are you looking for something to bring to a party? Well, this dessert right here has been a real crowd pleaser. My husband’s family have always been the bakers where my family are the cooks. Every time I go to my husband’s family’s house for the holidays, I’d always find some kind of homemade

This week’s Muffin Monday assignment was a carrot spice muffin. However, I’m not a huge fan of carrot and I immediately changed it to pumpkin. There’s really nothing that reminds me more of fall than pumpkins. I had recently used a mere two tablespoons of canned pumpkin for my homemade pumpkin latte so I figure why not use the leftovers

This was actually one of the harder ones I’ve done simply because I had issues with putting the filling into the muffins. I ran out of batter too for the last row and overall the muffins didn’t look

There’s something about the exactness of baking and the fact that when I’ve tried it, it doesn’t look pretty that has made me avoid it with a 10 foot pole with the exception of puddings and

If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you know my recipes are few & far between. I myself am still learning how to make an entree w/o the aid of a cook book. Yes I’ve made a few dishes I’m proud of but it’s a work in progress. However, I was inspired & it lead me to this

Aside from my own, the biggest culture I was exposed to as a child was the Jewish culture. Many a time, I would go to my best friend’s house (We’re still friends too) and have some matzo ball soup at this time of year. It was just so comforting to me back then. I was fortunate enough to have some
