Sometimes being a wife and parent is smooth sailing and other times, not so much. This fall has been busier than I had expected. Maybe I lied to myself and convinced myself that things will be calmer than the last month, season, year. It’s a cruel mental game, always believing that things will slow down when I get past that next benchmark. Does anyone one else do this, or am I the only crazy person around?...

It saves so much time, and also lesser clean up. Not to mention that it’s family-approved! In just a single pan, you’ll get an entire meal – chicken, rice, and veggies....

Why We Love EVOO Cakes In the baking world, there is quite a big debate over which fat creates the best cake texture… Butter or oil. Butter cakes tend to have better flavor, small pores, and a fine crumb. But they can often become a little dense like pound cake, depending on how much butter is added. Although we LOVE pound cake, there are times we want a lighter and fluffier cake texture....

Why We Love A Spritz Cookie Gun When I was a little girl, there were very few things I liked doing more than baking with my mom. On the weekends, we would crowd in the kitchen to either replicate one of grandma’s precious recipes or dream up something new. I particularly liked baking when “special equipment” was involved. Things like bundt pans, cookie cutters, or the utmost favorite kitchen tool… the cookie press, made our baking projects even more exciting....

Let me tell you right off the bat that this dish here doesn’t call for any grill set, open firepit, or even skewers. Shock, eh? The barbecue in its name is actually because the color of the spicy, saucy, and messy sauce gives it the same red color a good BBQ would. The preparation calls for quick stovetop cooking. (Oh, yesss, it’s so much better that way). And, instead of serving them on skewers, we eat them on a plate....
