I wanted to make yummy turkey burgers the other day, but had no buns. I thought to myself, no way am I going to the store to buy buns for my amazing burgers, so I gave myself a pep talk, and made some buns. I love the idea of making most things at home, they are always better that way, my mom thinks I am crazy, but I love it! I have never in my life made homemade bread, but really how hard can it be? I wouldn’t say it is a walk in the…

The other day I was at an event with some fellow food bloggers, and we were talking cooking for ourselves. The conversation surprised me enough to take a look at how I cook. Obviously this blog brings you savory and sweet recipes twice weekly, so it’s pretty obvious I spend most of my days cooking and baking. It is my job, at home. So that makes its much easier for me to make meals for the week. But I heard most of the woman say they…

I am sharing a recipe this week, although I have been quiet for several days now. It is time for me to share I how I reflect and my cooking is one of those things I do. So I did feel it was appropriate to share this healthy and hearty recipe that filled me up and helped me reflect on the things that matter. Like the recipe, these words are healthy and hearty for me. I tend to reflect a lot, even when things are going great. And perhaps a bit…

Another one of my, ” I can make that at home deals” so I did. I like to think I can make almost anything at home instead of buying it at the store. And now with a lot of free time on my hands, I can, at the very least try, then share with you. This time I was thing back to the pepper buns I made for the turkey bacon burgers, and remembered how much I love light fluffy burger buns. So the next step, naturally, is to bake them at…

I am so making this with leftover turkey on Saturday after turkey day. Friday is made for sandwiches, and everyday after that as well. But I will make one other thing with the leftovers that can last a few days and it is this soup. Filling and nourishing after what will be a weekend of indulgent yet wonderful meals. I hope you, your family and friends have a lovely time together! Original: Fall is my favorite season, a close second is Spring….

I’ve known about this grunt thing for a while, but I had never gotten around to making one. I threaten it a lot, but it just wasn’t happening. So I finally did it, and there are no regrets here people, this is just good ‘ol home baking, in a simply fantastic way. You can make this with any fruit your heart desires. I happen to have leftover frozen berries from the winter, fresh nectarines, and a few first fresh strawberries…

This simple tomato sauce is perfect for this weekend of leftovers. It is quick, easy, simple and tasty. This is an oldy but a goody. I believe we all need simplicity in our lives more often than not. Be it in the kitchen, an outfit we throw together, a recipe, or a good book. Simple can be magical in its own way. I lavish in simplicity of all things. I am not joking. I enjoy the complex nature of a good gluten structure, but I equally enjoy…
