Cabbage is very often overlooked, underrated and often goes to waste. But you don’t have to throw it away all the time. Take your leftover cabbage, or buy some at the supermarket and turn it into something really tasty – Fuss free. One of my favorite ways to prepare cabbage is infuse it with smoked paprika- Oh yes! And bacon too! Everything is always better with bacon, right?). Yes, this recipe calls for bacon and bacon drippings might not be the healthiest of choices but I tell you it’s really flavorful....

I confess; I’m something of a chicken wings fanatic. I love piling my family into the car, grabbing a few friends, and heading to the nearest restaurant for hot wings and cold beverages. There’s something so satisfying about the crispy skin, tangy sauce, and tender, flavorful meat. But you know me, I can’t resist experimenting at home. And this lemon pepper chicken wings recipe is just as good (or better😉) as anything I’ve had in a restaurant....

Soft Chewy Oatmeal Cookies Soft oatmeal cookies have a special place in my heart. As a little girl, I always looked forward to my mom’s chewy oatmeal cookies speckled with juicy raisins. She made the best cookies. Other kids on our block swooned over her cookies and were just as excited as I was when she baked them. In fact, my mom was (is) so inspiring in the cookie department, it has secretly been a goal of mine to be the mom who makes the best cookies in the whole neighborhood… town… world....

Whether it is my teatime strawberry cake, lemon pound cake, or the aromatic orange cake, each one is a favourite summer teatime. Stone Fruits, otherwise known as the summer fruits such as mango, peach, and apricot, certainly live up to their reputation. They have juicy, fibrous, aromatic, sweet taste and texture, making them perfect for baking....
Where Did Peaches and Cream Come From? Long before the early 2000s hip hop sensation Peaches and Cream (I’ll let you Google that one yourself, folks), there was this peaches n cream… An old-school “fancy hotel” brunch item. The dish became popular in the South as a simple dessert, but it made its way up the coast and is now a national staple. Although the song brings back some funny memories, I think I prefer Peaches and Cream as an edible delight over a sound bite....

Deviled Eggs… For Non-Egg Lovers I may have told you before, that I have a love-hate relationship with eggs. I love scrambles, omelets, and frittatas. I hate fried eggs, sunny-side-up eggs, and hollandaise sauce… And I despise hard-boiled eggs. (Passionately.) It’s one of those weird personal problems that I can’t quite explain. Sometimes even the aroma of eggs puts me on edge. In fact, it’s common to hear someone in my house say, “Oh yeah, well you smell like eggs!...
