I started culinary school last week, and our instructor was talking about a restaurant that he went to in Houston a while back. When he was looking at the menu and was in the mood for risotto, he asked the waiter about a couple of different flavors. When the waiter asked him what flavors heRead More
Here we go again, another sweet and delicious breakfast. I’ve heard my mother-in-law talk about this dish on several occasions, going on about how delicious it was…so naturally, I had to give it a shot. I made this during the same weekend of being in town with my cousins, and since there was a lotRead More
As I’ve mentioned before, I love trifles. They look elegant sitting in that trifle dish all layered and put together, and there hasn’t been one yet that didn’t taste delicious that I’ve come across. While I was talking to my mother-in-law on Friday, we were planning the menu out for Mother’s Day on Sunday. SheRead More
Last week when I made the shortbread cookies for the first time, I knew that I had to make these for Easter as well. They’re a great flavor that most people love…but I wanted to do a spin on it. Most of the time, decorated cookies are sugar cookies with a cookie icing. Well…since theRead More
Last week when I was watching Giada De Laurentiis cook some amazing Hawaiian themed foods on her show, I got all excited when she made the fish tacos using won ton wrappers as the shell. Genius! I exclaimed, “I can make regular mini tacos with those shells and use beef! YES!” and clapped my handsRead More
Click HERE to watch the video slideshow of the pictures and details of this cake!! When one of my friends e-mailed me a couple of weeks ago about making a 40th birthday cake for one of our friends, I jumped all over the opportunity. What makes it even more fun was that the party wasRead More
Four glorious words, all rolled into one delicious dessert. I like it. I originally found this recipe in the Philadelphia recipe book, a book filled with tons and tons of recipes using Philadelphia cream cheese. I love cooking and baking with cream cheese! This is one of my favorite recipe books to look through, becauseRead More
Personally, I’m a sucker for milkshakes. It’s hard to say no to the question when my husband asks, “I’m going to get a milkshake, do you want one?” Well, I hadn’t even thought about having one…until you said something about it. That actually happened last night, when he was going to the best place aroundRead More
In the past few months, I seem to keep learning more and more about many different cartoons, games and other themes that kids are really into these days. When my sister-in-law asked me if I could make a Pokemon cake for my nephew’s birthday, I was excited to do it…but immediately started searching for ideas, sinceRead More
The green time of year is approaching…And no, I’m not talking about the green grass of the spring and summer, or the green and red for Christmas. St. Patrick’s Day is my favorite green day of the year. Maybe it’s because I have red hair with fair skin, or maybe it’s because I have IrishRead More
