Pintesting Bechamel Sauce with Anne Willan from Secrets from the La Varenne Kitchen
Most things in life require a firm grasp of the basics before being able to successfully move on to more difficult or advanced levels, and cooking is no different. One of the things that I love about French cooking is that they start with basic techniques and build upon them. Take sauces, for example. There…

One Pan Mexican Quinoa
There seems to be a new obsession with short food videos on social media, especially Facebook. Videos made by Tasty, Buzzfeed, and Tip Hero are bringing food porn to a whole new level. We like and share them thinking, “What a great idea. I need to try this,” but rarely follow through and make it.…

Pintesting Pineapple Upside Down Bundt Cake
This is the post that wasn’t going to be and then wrote itself. I made the cake and took some pictures, but didn’t really intend on doing a proper Pintesting – until I shared the pics.

Well as you can see, cooler weather is nowhere in sight in my world. Yes, that’s Fahrenheit – at…

Flower Shaped Mini Lemon Curd Tarts
Some days it seems like the angels sing, the stars align, and everything falls into place in order to make things happen. When that happens, life is easy as pie – or in this case, tarts. My HH and I were thinking about how nice it would be to have just a little something sweet but didn’t…

Pintesting Weave Your Bacon BLT
Sometimes less is more, and there is a lot of minimalist going on lately. (Wait. Is that an oxymoron?) Tiny houses are all the rage right now. Have you seen them? They look like glorified tree houses, or doll houses on steroids. They’re so cute, but I can’t live in a house that’s smaller than…
