Here’s the truth. I’ve been avoiding posting this recipe, because the last time I made it and took pictures of the final product, the pictures really didn’t turn out. They didn’t do it justice. It’s tough to take great food pictures when there’s no daylight. Well, and when you’ve had two cosmopolitans. But it’s New [...]

Bachelor Pockets
Wednesday, December 30, 2009 in Adaptetarian, Breads, Cheese, Chicken, Food, Gruntworthy for Guys, Main Dishes, Vegetarian
Back in October, while we were munching on piroshky at Oktoberfest (which I'm only now realizing is kind of an odd thing to eat at an Oktoberfest celebration), my guy mentioned these foodstuffs-in-dough reminded him of one of his food specialties. A food specialty that I've since named Bachelor Pockets, and a food specialty that [...]
Stuffed Mushrooms
Tuesday, December 29, 2009 in Appetizers, Cheese, Food, Vegetarian
New Year's Eve is just around the corner, which means cocktail parties, which means appetizers, which means stuffed mushrooms, right?! Here's a recipe I love. They're breadcrumbless, which is nice if you decided to start your resolution to go low carb one day before the New Year. I mean, if that's the case, WHAT ARE [...]
Mini Vanilla Scones
Monday, December 28, 2009 in Breads, Breakfast, Chicks Dig It, Food, Vegetarian
Facebook is so weird and so cool. It's really neat to connect with folks from the past – so many high school classmates are my "friends," and I've so enjoyed catching up with them. One gal graduated a year after I did. She's super sweet. She has a bunch of cute kids, and just had [...]

Whatever you do this holiday or who you spend it with, I hope you and yours have a truly wonderful time – and lots of fun! xoxo,Kare
Cranberry-Lime Champagne Cocktail
Thursday, December 24, 2009 in Chicks Dig It, Drinks, Food, Holidays
I have a new and vivid fascination with champagne cocktails. An elegant champagne flute, some bubbly, a little flavoring, maybe a touch of fruit, and you've got perfect party fare. And endless possibilities. I've yet to try the most classic iteration, with bitters and a sugar cube, but you can bet your strawberry I'll be [...]
Drunken Pot Roast
Wednesday, December 23, 2009 in Carnivores, Food, Gruntworthy for Guys, Main Dishes
The crock pot is a perfect instrument for a chick like me who doesn't actually eat meat, but still wants to make it (and make it well) on the rare occasion for carnivorous loved ones. For the most part, you just plop the hunk of meat in, leave it for several hours, and out comes [...]
A Few Budget Christmas Decorating Ideas
Tuesday, December 22, 2009 in Decorating, Home
Even though I always manage to spend about a gazillion dollars this time of year, I still get excited by doing some things – like decorations – on the cheap. I know, I’m easily entertained. What is that saying? “Blessed is he who can laugh at himself, for he shall never cease to be amused”? [...]
Pine Bark
Monday, December 21, 2009 in Dessert, Food, Gruntworthy for Guys, Holidays, Kid Friendly, Vegetarian
This easy, delicious, candy slash cookie is made with… you ready? Saltine crackers! Yup. With the whole salted caramel mania these past couple of years, it's sort of understandable. Pine Bark is basically caramel over saltine crackers, slathered with chocolate. The crackers add a crazy good texture and a perfect hit of salt. I know, [...]
Tag, You’re It! Cute Little Holiday Banners
Friday, December 18, 2009 in Crafts, Home
The holidays are the perfect time of year to express yourself. To let someone know you're thinking of them. To help make people smile. To wish a perfect stranger well. I found a cute way to spread a little more Christmas cheer around the house – all you need is a stamp set with the [...]
Angel Bars
Thursday, December 17, 2009 in Dessert, Food, Holidays, Vegetarian
I'm so new to this blog thing, that a month or so ago, I was thinking "12 Days of Christmas Cookies" would be a terrific, and, yes, novel idea. I was all gung ho about posting 12 of my very favorite cookie recipes all in a row. One of those recipes was going to be [...]
Secret Kiss Cookies
Wednesday, December 16, 2009 in Dessert, Food, Gruntworthy for Guys, Holidays, Vegetarian
As I’m sure most people do, I have a set list of must-bake cookies I have to make at Christmastime every year. Along with the Dolly Parton’s Sugar Cookies I blogged about last week, there's pine bark, peppermint bark, and angel bars. And most definitely, a big bunch of secret kiss cookies are an absolute [...]
Save Some Green with a Fresh Christmas Swag
Tuesday, December 15, 2009 in Crafts, Home
Christmas just isn't Christmas without a wreath on the front door, am I right? Okay, maybe that's a little rigid, but wreaths are just so dang festive – so perfect for the holidays – and when they're fresh, they smell so nice and piney. I love when they're just simple – fresh and green – [...]

This Apple Dutch Baby recipe is one of my very favorite breakfasts. It’s so easy to whip up, looks impressive, and, of course, tastes amazing.
