Confession: I don’t really think Rachel Ray has it all going on. Sure, I admire and respect her business savvy (hello, how many opportunities has she made for herself?), and I love that she’s gotten a lot of people inspired to get in the kitchen. Maybe I’m just envious that she’s capitalized on such an…

Homemade Vegan Tempeh "Meat" Sauce
Crumbling tempeh into a jar of marinara has been a longtime favorite way to bulk up a simple pasta dish for me. When I was a vegan, I discovered this as one of my favorite uses for tempeh. It was actually the first way I grew to like tempeh! Today I took it one step…
Derby Day
This year the start of May also brings Derby Day! I’ve reminisced a bit about the few years that my family lived in Kentucky growing up. I think possibly the one thing from Kentucky that has stuck with my family the most is Kentucky Memories Pie (no, it’s not really called that, but apparently the…
Mojito Granola
Oh yes, I went there. Mojito Granola. When I had a granola giveaway recently, I asked everyone to describe their dream granola. From the first moment I saw reader Carol’s comment that her dream granola would be a mojito flavored granola, I have not been able to get it out of my head. I immediately…

Today is a dual review! Hubs forgot breakfast this morning so I sent some with him to eat when he got to work (don’t worry,…
Product Review
…of the Strawberry Chobani! Well, once again I was amazed at the wonderful texture of the Chobani. I was a little concerned that the texture would be negatively affected after mixing the yogurt with the fruit on the bottom, but it still stayed just as creamy. If anything there was added texture with the bits…

Happy Friday everyone! With the Christmas season finally here, I have felt an uncontrollable urge to bake! For my family a lot of memories and fun times are always had in the kitchen. This is a tradition that my husband and I both look forward to continuing. So as we were setting up our Christmas…
Happy Friday!
Hello y’all! I’m just going to do a very mish-mash post today. Obviously I haven’t been cooking much (besides helping my mom with baking and rolling truffles and such, but no original recipes). Therefore I have no new, fun recipes to blog about! (I am really trying to get my momma to do a guest…
