Apple of my eye….

Not around much in the food blogging world this week….crazy busy week but crazy good. Don’t worry next week I have nothing and can sit around and talk food…and make food. These are a great appetizer that is a spinoff of my Blue Cheese Cheesecake with Pear Onion Jam I made years ago. If you are saying ewww gross…I can assure you that savory cheesecake is wonderful. And when spread on crackers it’s a fun way to serve a cheese spread. And it classes things up. :D This recipe originally was for a magazine article that ran the story but never paid me. So thanks for that. It’s my fault because they stiffed me before and asked me to do another story telling me check was in the mail. So I figure I will put the recipe up for you all to enjoy since I never got compensated!!! … [Read more...]

Cup check…

Here's the Tuesday Ten: 1. For the last month I have made my bed every day. I know people do this every day. I do not. I usually just throw the covers kind of over the pillows. But I have been doing the full bed…with pillow shams and all. Sadly this makes me feel more like a grown up. It’s not hard to do and yet I never used to do it. :) Small steps. 2. I made this mistake of asking a brand if they would like to work with me. They wrote back "You are not a significant enough food blogger"…I’m considering getting that on my tombstone right under owner of a not best blog. But seriously a no thank you probably would have been the better result. I am just going to assume that the person who wrote it did so while on the phone with the IRS and on hold for 2 hours, on a bad hair day, while possibly being mauled by a Honey Badger and therefore was not in a good mood. 3. My baby turns 13 tomorrow. It’s hard to believe that little fur ball has been with me that long though I … [Read more...]

With Sprinkles On Top….

Now you are probably looking at this cake and thinking aww how sweet Peabody made a cake for a 6 year old girl. Nope. That cake is for a 40 year old man. :P I know it seems silly for a grown man to be getting a pink cake with sprinkles for his birthday but MDP is pretty confident in his sexuality (as am I ;) ) so he can handle it. When I was trying to figure out what to make MDP for a birthday cake (he is not a big fan of chocolate) I asked for suggestions on FB (are you following me on FB? If not, would you?) and boy did I get a lot suggestions (yay!). Other than making me hungry for cake, someone put a link to a Strawberry Milk Cheesecake that Sprinkle Bakes made. I had it pinned already but forgot about it as I often do. I knew immediately that would be the cake. After all it’s way too festive and MDP LOVES Strawberry Milk (heck I just made him bark). Problem is that Heather (Sprinkle Bakes) excels at decorating and Peabody excels at knowing people who are good at … [Read more...]

Trouble with the Curve…

I watched Trouble with the Curve on Christmas night while snuggled up eating Chinese food (which was surprisingly a little too hard to find a place that was open)and of course all that ran through my head was the part in Christmas Story where they sing farararara-rararara. :D I liked the movie though the part with Clint Eastwood going blind makes me nervous and worry about my parents getting older. The part we will concentrate on though is how his lawyer daughter while good at her job realized baseball is what was in her blood. I often watch shows like Triple D or other restaurant shows where they interview the owner and often they had a change of career. And more often than not it’s because their parents owned a restaurant when they were growing up. I learned about 10 years ago that while I enjoyed teaching in some aspects (the kids and inspiring part) it was really cooking/baking that I wanted to do with my life. I knew I didn’t really want to own a restaurant though tons of … [Read more...]
