One of the by-products of my butter making experiment was buttermilk.  Buttermilk is great.  I use it pancakes all the time.  Problem is I can usually only find it in 1L formats.  Half the time I say screw it and just make “buttermilk” by adding either lemon juice or vinegar to regular milk.  It works [...]

This week’s Barefoot Bloggers pick comes courtesy of Peggy at Pantry Revisited. I’m a fan of croissants and I love bread pudding so this seemed like a great pick.
This is a quick and easy recipe.  Some might see this as dessert, but for me it just screamed breakfast!  I mean, it’s kind of like [...]

Yay!  I think I’m officially on track with my Barefoot Blogging. Hopefully this means that my hiatus is over.
This week’s pick comes courtesy of Summer of Sexy Apartment. I was a bit hesitant at first when I saw that she chose souffle.  I mean who choses souffle??  I was annoyed initially because it [...]

A few [...]

Homemade [...]

How decadent does that sound?
I had about half a bag of cranberries in my freezer and 18 oz of dark chocolatae in my pantry that I’d been looking to use at some point.  So as I often do, I logged onto Epicurious and did a search for cranberries and chocolate. About 30 [...]

So I went underground for a bit while I kicked up my GMAT studying. That meant very little cooking, no blogging and lots of studying. All of my summertime hibernation paid off with a great score which means I’m back amongst the living!
I have a fondness for all things coconut. In [...]

Because of the success of my vegan Banana Nut Pancakes I thought I’d go ahead and see what else the world of vegan pancakes had to offer. Since my pumpkin that I froze back in October was still going strong I thought that pumpkin pancakes were in order.
Let me just say these may rival [...]
