Cracking eggs one carton at a time.
I own a lot of kitchen utensils and gadgets.I've got a KitchenAid mixer. A food processor. A sushi bazooka. A griddle.

Something as simplistic and necessary as a whisk and yet… Continue reading Biscuits & Gravy Breakfast Casserole
While I was at Trader Joe's the other day, I found this little pre-packaged sandwich in their ready-to-eat section. It was turkey, cranberry and pecan salad with arugula on a wheat roll---and it was FANTASTIC. The only thing I didn't like: celery was on it.

I've found myself sneaking one cookie...two cookies...three cookies or more. Once you get one, you can't stop. These brownie cookies… Continue reading Christmas Brownie Cookies
