In case I haven’t explicitly stated it before, let me say this now and for the record–my office LOVES to eat. We’re a group of people looking for a party and the food that goes with it! So when the idea of a “Taste Around the World” event came up during our recent charity drive, [...]

Happy National Bundt Day everyone! Did you really expect me to let this holiday pass without some kind of celebration? I need only the smallest excuse to bake these days (some might even call me addicted), and National Bundt Day, along with my need to pick a Thanksgiving cake, led me to spend an early [...]

Noel and I have a running disagreement about winter squash. I love it. I think its gentle sweetness is comforting as the days get cooler, and it hits my need to satisfy my sweet tooth without added sugar. Noel, on the other hand, does not enjoy the sweet.

So I will admit, I was brought to this recipe by a joiner instinct. I’m usually not much of a joiner, preferring instead to be my own personal cruise director most of the time, but sometimes something that everybody else is doing just seems so wonderful, that I just have to try it out myself.

People have many reasons for loving the fall. The leaves, the cool weather after the heat of another long summer, the football, apples and pumpkins. Some people (maybe me) love the fall because it ushers in the holiday season, our favorite time of the year. But Noel, my friends, has a very unique reason for [...]

So yeah, I didn’t quite make it with my last pumpkin recipe yesterday. Somehow, Halloween ended up being way crazier than I had planned. I decided, sort of at the last minute, that I would join the mayhem in in Fells Point last night. And that decision derailed other plans for the day, like blogging, [...]

Okay, so when I mentioned the canned pumpkin buying binge yesterday, I wasn’t completely honest. I didn’t buy all of that pumpkin in a panic. I actually had plans for at least a few cans of it… And yes, in fact, they were plans that involved butter. And a pastry blender. But I’m getting ahead [...]

Picture yourself, if you will, at the end of last week. The terrible (rainy) and (unseasonably) cold weather that had been lurking around Baltimore had finally broken, and the sun was shining on the beautiful fall colors. Fall recipes were practically exploding from blogs. All in all it was perfect, except for one thing… I [...]
