Just like that – BAM we’re here! It’s FEBRUARY! Doesn’t it seem like only a few milliseconds ago you were making resolutions for 2019? Yet here we are 6 weeks into the New Year! I made quite a few resolutions, but I’ve settled on designating a word to focus on each month as well. I’ve decided to not only strive to nail down cooking basics, but…
I knew that if I was going to throw a Harry Potter party that I wanted a Honeydukes candy cart. Or the closest thing to it! Which would mean it would need to be full of Chocolate Frogs, Licorice Wands and of course Fizzing Whizbees. Out of all of the Harry Potter Recipes for candy I made, these were my favorite! Now in the book they’re…
Last week I shared with you how to make the most adorable Mandrake Cupcakes for your Harry Potter bash! Even though these were inspired by the movie I wanted to make some Harry Potter Recipes of the candy as it was portrayed in the book. One of the most iconic scenes of Harry enjoying his new life for me has always been when he purchases candy from…
All summer long we’ve been waiting for *DRUMROLL PLEASE* Shark Week! I remember that every single year since I knew Shark Week was a thing that I would spend hour after hour pouring over the stories of these magnificent beasts. So even though I’m a day (week) late and a dollar short, I still wanted to share this blog post. We’re going to celebrate today with a…
It seems like only moments ago we were decking our halls with garlands and wreaths and preparing for Christmas dinner. Dainty paper mache Easter eggs, miniature seasonal chocolates and pots of sprouted bulbs now seem to dot most supermarkets. And have you been to Hobby Lobby? They’ve practically been a rabbit themed park in full bloom since valentine’s day ended. Whether you’re excited about Spring because…
I don’t think that anyone can truly not love quiche, except for maybe my husband. I’m in with love quiche for three reasons. The first being that you can make it on a Sunday and have a delicious breakfast taken care of all week. The second that while you can eat it any time of day. Want to start your morning off right? How about a…
I’m all about making things as easy as possible. After twenty-two years of life on this earth if that’s the one thing I’ve taken away as a lesson it’s a good one. There’s nothing wrong with making a cake completely from scratch. But I love this recipe so much because you don’t have too! By making a few small tweaks you can take your chocolate box…
I can’t believe that Christmas is right around the corner. ONE WEEK folks and you’re supposed to be completely ready. We’re talking presents in tow (wrapped), gussied up for Christmas dinner (which if you’re doing the whole bit is a lot to prepare for) and if you’re hosting someone your house should be immaculate and decked. That doesn’t leave much time for fun Christmas beverages, appropriate…
Ah the holidays. What a wonderful time! If you live in the United States, memories of Christmas and Thanksgiving probably revolve around turkey. Whether you’re a turkey lover or you’re thrilled that the dog ate the turkey (true story) – it’s a hallmark for many. However, just because you grew up enjoying (or tolerating) turkey during the holidays – this doesn’t guarantee you actually know how…
I’ve never had a pumpkin spice latte. Which, being that I’m twenty-two whole years old and have always had access to a Starbucks – is surprising. Apparently if you go between now and October 8th they’ll even put Pumpkin Spice whipped cream on your pumpkin spice latte. Which is festive and all for sure. But for those of us thrifty fall-goers it doesn’t always make sense…
