Sandra Lee is a disaster of a celebrity on your network. Please cancel her show. She is everything that should NOT be put on television for people who love food. I can tolerate Rachel Ray. But Sandra Lee is horrendous.

Weekend BBQ
One of the challenges I have with blogging about food is that when I get invited to something like a BBQ or potluck, I feel like I have to bring it. When I go, I want to knock it out of the park. This weekend, Reggie and I have been invited to attend a BBQ… Continue reading Weekend BBQ
Chocolate Blueberry
Tonight, I picked up a few more of those chocolate muffin loaf things at the grocery store. They’re really good. Rather than topping them with fresh fruit, I pulled some blueberry puree from the freezer, added some sugar, and let that reduce down a bit. That topped the cakes. Yum.
Saturday Foods
Last night, I went to the grocery store to pick up a few things for dinner. I noticed the first bunch of California strawberries of the season were in. I picked up a quart. Yes, a quart. This morning, I went down the street and got my bread to make the usual french toast. I… Continue reading Saturday Foods
Veggie Roast
I’m hungry but not super hungry. The need for food will hit me shortly. A little earlier I had some cheese and bread. Last night, I had Italian takeout. Tomorrow night, I’m having dinner and drinks with a friend. So I really wanted to eat in. It was a time to figure out just what… Continue reading Veggie Roast
Leaving Home
I’m at my parents’ house with Reggie, and we’ll be heading out shortly. We need to stop at my mom’s flower shop before heading to the airport. I’ll be doing a conference call in the car. Right now, I just need to get Reggie to poop before we leave. In typical Reggie fashion, he’s being… Continue reading Leaving Home
Berries and White Chocolate Cream
I picked up some strawberries today at the grocery store and wasn’t sure how to eat them without just eating them right out of the box. They were that good. Instead, I melted some white chocolate with some light cream and vanilla and poured it over the berries, which i had cut into slices. This… Continue reading Berries and White Chocolate Cream
Tomato Soup
My friend Beth makes an incredible tomato basil soup. Today, I decided to try making some of my own, using a bit of a different technique. First, I chopped up a bunch of tomatoes. They were of two different varieties, which gave me some variations on flavor. Additionally, I chopped up a yellow pepper and… Continue reading Tomato Soup
Leftovers
One of the joys of cooking is putting portions into containers to be frozen and enjoyed at a later time. I don’t plan on doing much cooking this week because we’re heading to my parents’ house. Instead, it’s time to call upon those frozen portions. I just had some chicken noodle soup that I made… Continue reading Leftovers
What’s in your squirt bottle?
A lot of cooks and chefs swear by keeping squirt bottles on hand, full of certain things they use all the time. Some keep olive oil. Some keep hot sauce. While the thought of putting olive oil in a plastic bottle appalls me a bit, the one thing I always keep handy in a squirt… Continue reading What’s in your squirt bottle?
