I saw some felt hearts at Hobby Lobby and I thought I could make those. You need some felt some scissors , thread and a needle to make the hearts. Humm... well they are very close to the ones I saw. Kind of narrow hearts. Just tack them together with thread. Or you could purchase some already made. This is Foam paper neet stuff, it comes in sheets this has glitter on the surface and it's
Here’s a really fast and I think pretty healthy dip. Unlike sour cream dips, legume dips fill you up faster so you’ll eat a little less of the not so good stuff. My suggestion is to start with the bean dip with veggies to leave a little less room for those fattening things. You can [...]
Been working out all week and started back up with my dance practice, so I decided to have a quiet sunday while my sore muscles repair themselves. I had a sudden pancake craving, and we have a few bananas which are really close to being super mushy, so at that point I was sold. We [...]
One of the numerous dishes we had for our lunch was Chicken in garlic, or Pollo al ajilla, and it was so delicious that I just had to find out how it was made and have a go at making it for myself.

Happy Super Bowl Sunday Amurika! Dip things in cheese! Cover them in buffalo sauce! BBQ something at least...Right about now we should all be gearing up for the big showdown. The end of the football season and greatest food event known to February (only b/c we had to extend the football season a few years ago, before that it was a tie between National Pancake Day and various restaurant weeks
I love football season. It signals the slow slide into the cozy time of the year for me. The sweaters come out as does the hearty food and drink. This month our Vintage Recipe Redo and Swap posts smack dab in the middle of the Super Bowl. I originally determined my spin on the assigned Wild Rice Dressing recipe would be a yuppie Wild Rice Harvest Cake, with exotic grain
In 1999 I took a three day biscotti course with Nick Malgieri, the Head of the Pastry Department at the International Center for Culinary Education (ICE) in New York City. We must have baked 40 different kinds of biscotti. It was a wonderful experience. I am going to a Super Bowl on Sunday and of course I am bringing the desserts. One of the desserts that I am bringing is a va
I wanted to make a cupcake worthy of our New England Patriots for the Super Bowl this year, and the only flavor I could think of was chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate. Don’t ask me why! So I knew I was going to start with a basic cake mix. I love the texture & , [...]
It’s time for the Dark Days Valentine’s Day Challenge, where we were tasked with making a dessert with as many local ingredients as possible. I will admit to considering going back to my Christmas SOLE cookies; I was feeling a little lazy. Then I thought I’d make an apple crisp, or something like that. The more »
It’s been WAY too long since I’ve posted a Nutella recipe. I know did you just gasp? Don’t worry we’re still eating our fair share. Okay who am I kidding, we’re eating several families fair shares. I was craving something sweet and didn’t want to wait for a traditional cake to bake so we whipped [...]

When I first started baking, Chocolate Hot Pots would regularly feature on my table after dinner or as a midnight snack. A batch consisted of 4 ramekins and sometimes I’d bake these in disposable foil cups so I could sneak in one after lunch at work. When it came to deciding what I wanted to [...]

It’s not often you find something savory on BFB. But today is a special occasion… It’s the Super Bowl! This year the Super Bowl is hosted about 30 minutes from my house in Indianapolis! Yesterday I drove downtown to see what all the commotion was about. As it turns out, Super Bowl village is pretty [...]
This week’s French Fridays with Dorie was for a very interesting quiche — Apple & Gorgonzola. And, as is my way, I changed it quite a bit. I actually feel a little bad, it seems like I’m always fiddlin’ with these Around My French Table recipes, which I know would be very good made exactly as written, I just…can’t help myself. Actually, I usually make chan
I have been known to purchase expensive beer bread mixes. Why? I had no idea how easy it was to make beer bread on my own without a mix. Food manufacturers have convinced us that we need all the convenience foods and mixes that they produce, and I am guilty of falling for their advertising way to often. Sometimes we don’t realize how easy it is to prepare foods on our own. We buy convenienc

These cookies were supposed to be "I-wish-the-Packers-were-in-the-Super-Bowl" sugar cookies, but I guess now they can be "Aaron-Rodgers-MVP" cookies! I was pretty excited to use the piping kit that I got for Christmas to make the laces on the footballs, it was my first time using it though so they aren't exactly perfect.This is the sugar cookie and frosting recipe that my Mom always uses whe

I’m pretty excited to share this dreamy casserole. When I made it for dinner recently, my family flipped for it. It’s a modern day, skinny version of a classic chicken and rice casserole normally made with creamy canned soup.

A definition of crepes from Martha Stewart: Crepes are pancakes all dressed up -- lacy, feather light, and elegant. The lightness doesn't come from the same chemical leavening or yeast that makes pancakes rise; on the contrary, crepe batter is too thin to hold the gas bubbles that result in the pancake's thickness. The secret lies in rotating the hot pan as soon as the batter hits it, creating a p
I know it is Superbowl Sunday and perhaps this isn't the most typical Superbowl food but I suppose I will get to cooking some more traditional Superbowl stuff later today. Or not. We shall see.I have seen a lot of recipes for Potato Roasts that look similar to this one floating out there on the Internet. They all look good but all seemed (to me anyway) to be somewhat lacking from a flavor per
It eases joint pain. It reduces arthritis pain. It is high protein food, and almost has no (or low) cholesterol. Dad loves it and Mom does not mind it. Throughout my observations these years, older generation typically appreciate this delicacy, more so than youngsters. My elder brothers dislike it, just like most of my friends. They will not eat it at all. Well...me? I don't mind. My taste bu
This treat is almost designed for Valentines Day. It is a simple little recipe that takes strawberries and melted chocolate to a new level of fun, flavor, and presentation. The dark chocolate has been melted with cream and mixed with a little champagne, and along with the classic strawberry, we’ve added grapefruit and mint leaves for a richness of flavor. These bite size little s

I completed my Whole 30!! It was a very positive experience and I have been feeling pretty great. I lost 9 pounds which broke through my weight plateau, my skin has been good, I feel more energetic overall and I've had better sleep. Take that last one in context, I do have a co-sleeping toddler. I found that eating full paleo really seems to have much more of an i

Do you buy caged eggs? Ages ago I did. Back in the olden days when nobody was selling free range except at the gate of the farmer’s house, I bought eggs from the supermarket like everyone else did. Then one day I decided that it would be great to set up some raised veggie [...]
My family loves to get appetizers while I am putting the finishing touches on dinner. Usually they hope for something very high fat and calories. These are lighter than most meat and cheese starters. The inclusion of Spinach adds the extra nutrition that makes me as a Mom feel like I am giving them what they want, with a few tricks up my sleeve. The kids and the husband devoured all of them. So
Fresh, full of shine and life, and with the vivid crimson flesh, these exquisite blood oranges are the treasure we found this week; the first of this year. I find them too beautiful to eat. Such are the sweet blessings of nature. The sight of this jeweled glossy fruit fills me with wonder. Every time I [...]

In this week's meal plan, I'm using some of the food swag I received last weekend at Food Blog South 2012 in Birmingham. Our swag bags included a box of Roland Gallettes, buttery French shortbread cookies, which have long since disappeared. I also picked up a couple of their flavored quinoa mixes. While I prefer to make everything from scratch, I need to spend less time in th

Like many chefs, what I crave on a day off is the comfort of a simple roast chicken. However, in this blog you probably noticed we aren’t in the business of keeping it that simple, are we? Stuffing it under the skin is a great way to infuse more flavor into a chicken while keeping [...]

Not everyone associates hamburgers with Italian cooking, but Italians have a long tradition of using ground beef in imaginative ways, for meatballs (polpette) and meatloaf (polpettone), as well as as a basis for the classic ragù alla bolognese. So it should really come as no surprise that they've also applied their culinary creativity those patties of ground beef called hamburgers, which are calle
Are you ready for some football? For the Super Bowl today, we're about as ready as possible (mostly ready for all the hype to be over).

I have a collection of recipes from my Mother's recipe box (I love retro and vintage recipes!) and this Angel Pie is one of them. I have always wanted to make it, but have put it on the back burner for too long now.
