Egg-cellent….

I’m a lazy blogger. I like to see if the recipe is already out there that I can make and modify. Coming up with a recipe from scratch takes time darn it all. Which is why I have to laugh when the people on all these Facebook Pages that steal photos and post the recipes and say they are just recipes. Truthfully I don’t get that upset over the recipe as I do the photo. When I asked the one girl why she doesn’t just make the recipe herself, photograph it, then post her own photo…she told me IT WAS TOO HARD. Yeah, no kidding. Especially when shooting ice cream…it likes to melt! Anyway I decided I wanted to make Cadbury Crème Egg Ice Cream this year. So I Googled it. Got excited when I read that it’s actually an ice cream flavor already….in England. Boo. Now I know how my over the seas peeps feel most of the time. Then I researched even more and found out it was more of the fondant flavor than chocolate and realized that wasn’t what I wanted at all. So even if I could … [Read more...]

So one of the highlights of our Philly trip was me experiencing the Peach-Butter Pecan Pie Milkshake that Franklin’s Fountain made. I knew I had to try and recreate it. And yes they really do serve it with a whole piece of pie on top…not to mention the pie in the actually milkshake as well. Pure genius. Evil genius, but genius nonetheless! It’s not exactly peak peach season right now and I never like to make things exactly how I had them anyway…. so I switched the peach out for apple because I love me some apple pie. And instead of butter pecan I added caramel to it because caramel makes everything better…well it doesn’t make clean up better. Now I made the ice cream and I made the pie for this. As I mentioned on FB I have been wanting to bake/cook big time just haven’t had the time. This weekend is my first time where I didn’t have anything! Don’t you just love those weekends? I don’t get them often so I am relishing that big time. While it might seem like … [Read more...]

First off, if you didn’t read my last post (I know the cookies were not that exciting looking) please go and at least read the last paragraph. It’s important to me. Thank you. And now on to the regularly scheduled post: There have been a slew of troll action on the food blogs as of late. I personally just delete it or make fun of them on here but one of them went after a kid blogger which is messed up. If they get out of control I block their IP address. This last week a troll had a campaign to email me repeatedly letting me know that how nice it was that I just sit around in my sweats all day eating chocolate and getting drunk. And one of the times something about sitting around doing my nails. So let’s address this shall we: 1. If I’m going to be sitting around all day eating something it’s not going to be chocolate. It’s going to be caramels. Either those kind with the white frosting in the middle or Fran’s Sea Salt Caramels (Fran if you ever want to send me … [Read more...]

I have had the WORST case of insomnia as of late. As in not being able to fall asleep until 5-6am and then only getting a few hours of sleep, then spend the day being totally useless (more so than usual :P )yet the very next night the same thing…no sleep. The silver lining in all of that if you will is that I’ve gotten to catch up on a lot of blogs I just never have the time to read anymore. And while I didn’t really leave too many comments (typing and the hand don’t play well together) one thing I saw on a blog made me feel the need to leave a comment…a GIANT one…right here. Jenna is a blogger whom I don’t know personally but have always read her blog. She is wildly popular having her own book White Jacket Required: A Culinary Coming-of-Age Story and contributes to PBS Food. I follow her on Instagram and Twitter but she probably doesn’t know me from a hole in the wall (or in my sweats as my case may be). But I was really bothered not by her post but by the reaction … [Read more...]
