Damn Good White Pizza
The truth is my pizza dough-making skills are almost as good as my sunken-center cake making skills. So when the dough I make comes out stretchy and doughy, then bakes up both soft and crisp… I get very excited. Seriously. … Continue reading
Tamale Casserole, Part Deux
As said before, I am an infamous flop cake maker. Yesterday proved no different. I got really excited about trying a new lemon cake recipe with a blackberry cream cheese frosting, in order to use up some lemons and very … Continue reading
Fusilli with Spicy Tomato Garlic Basil Sauce, Soyrizo, and Tempeh “Chicken”
I think I could easily eat pasta once a day. Unfortunately, Craig probably isn’t too keen on that idea. I’ve learned that if I tell him I’m making some kind of pasta, he doesn’t usually think that’s a tasty-sounding, appetizing, … Continue reading

Waffle Pizzas
One night when I couldn’t fall asleep, I decided to read the latest copy of Food Network’s magazine on the iPad. As I electronically flipped through the pages, a tiny little picture caught my eye. It was a waffle. But … Continue reading
Lemony Panko Crusted Snapper
It has been a while. Again. Excuse number one: the last few days have been spent meticulously avoiding dying from a particular stomach plague. Friday night I thought the Ashland ER was going to be receiving a visit. Saturday was … Continue reading
