Mardi Gras Jambalaya

Mardi Gras is just a couple of weeks away, and I’m happy to say I’ve already caught the Louisiana fever. While I’ve never had the opportunity to visit New Orleans for Mardi Gras, I have celebrated Fat Tuesday at Soulard in St. Louis. It may not be as big as the original, but I love [...]

Small Plate: Baking in Jars

An Early Taste of Spring

We seem to be in the middle of an early winter thaw – at least here in Milwaukee. The 22-inches of snow we got a couple of weeks ago is quickly melting as the temperatures climb their way into the 40s. Folks, it’s a heat wave! These past few days of unseasonably warm temperatures have [...]

Kid-Friendly Valentines

When I was little my Mom  would bake heart-shaped ccookies for my sisters and me. We’d come home from school on Valentine’s Day to a plate of fresh baked goodies with our names scrawled across the tops in a thick, pink icing.  It was a tasy and heartfelt valentine. Here are a few sugary treats [...]

To be with that special someone in the City of Lights, strolling along the Seine, sitting at a cozy bistro, munching on French baguettes and French cheese – it would be the ultimate romantic getaway. While I might not be able to get to France in [...]

Box-of-Chocolates Cupcakes

Tis’ the season for love, teddy bears, and lots of chocolate. I used to hate Valentine’s Day. I was one of those single people who detested the lovey dovey mentality of a holiday that seems to be solely sponsored by the card and chocolate industries.

A Single Valentine’s Day

Calling all you single ladies! I think it’s time for a Girl’s Night In. When I was in college (and single), my girlfriends and I would dread Valentine’s Day. It seemed as though everywhere we looked there were couples looking all doe-eyed and lovesick. It was enough to make you sick. But the Valentine’s Day [...]
