Hostess has nothing on these! I wanted to make something fun to take to friends. I thought I would make a variation on those Hostess Cupcakes from when I was young. I do see them every now and then at the stores (usually on a road trip at some random gas station on the middle of nowhere.) I am never tempted to buy them because I know how easy it is to whip up a batch at home. And once again if

I always have a lot of bananas. I think they are mating in my freezer. Every time I look - there they are. I love having frozen bananas on hand. Its easy to whip up a quick dessert - cake, cookies or bread. Lately at Cirque we always have ripe bananas. I think some folks wait to see what banana treat will I come up with next.

A favorite even when it's not pumpkin time! I used to not like tamales. I thought they were dry and I shied away from them. Then, one night, after an evening of dancing and drinking, maybe a wee bit tipsy - I was hungry.

When is the last time you had some Black Eye Peas? I love Black Eye Peas. I wish I ate them more. Yes, we always have black eye peas and sausage balls with cornbread and coleslaw for the new year to bring us good luck. I look forward to the dish every time. I do use black eye peas for catering dishes once on a while but, rarely do I make those dishes to have at home. I thought, I am going to make

The affair continues.....It's recipe 14 of The Bread Baker’s Apprentice Challenge! French Bread. I was excited to make this recipe. Yes, I know when I am not hot for flour, yeast and water. When am I not excited to fill the bowl of my mixer and "turn it on". When I am not ready to get "dirty' with flour covered boules. When am I not awakened by the scent of rising bread dough ready to go into the

A quickie is about all I can handle. What a week!Sean and I headed to Vegas. Half fun. Half work. One open bar to end the short trip with a bang and a massive hangover. I am still hurting a little from not just Vegas but a whirlwind week with Sean being back in LA. We filled the week and half with food, fun and more fun!! It went by fast and every moment was worth the pounding headache and tired

He cooked for me a few of my favorites.....including falafel. He was so thoughtful when he stopped in at the market to grab some fresh pita and yogurt to make a fabulous meal. He also made my favorite

I think it crawled in when I wasn't looking. Or maybe it happened when it was rising on the stove and it was doing it's best impression of "pretty bread" ready for the oven. It didn't even move as I brushed on the egg wash. But either way it was there when I went to go check on it. It was this creature. It must have been living under the stove - maybe before I even moved in just under a year ago.

The goal was to construct a strawbale shed in one week. And they did it!! The shed will be mounted with solar panels and serve as storage and also includes a cool loft space. On the north side, there is a porch area. It was a beautiful

It was especially noticeable while trying to finished a Strawberry White Peach Pie. I was all outta steam but thought baking would perk me up.

I love making cookies. I especially love making these cookies. I call them Everything Cookies, or Cowboy Cookies or Cupboard Cookies. They use up all the odd ingredients I have leftover - raisins, walnuts, coconut, craisins, pecans, white chocolate, dark chocolate - anything goes...even the last few tables of Almond Butter made it in this time.In my mind I feel that this is a healthy cookie...ya

The perfect "Thank you"!It's recipe #5 of the The Bread Baker’s Apprentice Challenge. I am a little ahead. I knew that this next week was going to be busy and I have had a little free time since returning to LA so I thought I would get it done. Plus, I have had the urge to bake. When dont I? So, I made Lemon Tarts, Everything Cookies and the Casatiello. Kinda funny that I am doing all this baking

Lovely Lemon Tarts!I am working on my recipe for BBA Challenge. Its a meat and cheese filled bread. I have decided to make two versions...one veggie with sun dried tomatoes and double cream Gouda, the other with sopressata and provolone. I am making little round loaves and plan to gift them to our landlord and neighbor for helping out while I was out of town. So I thought why not something sweet,

So much of my life focuses around cooking and sharing food. I usually take the time to journal about it or at least record the menu.I keep a copy of all the menus I have ever served at a gathering, back yard BBQ, catering gig, art opening, mothers day brunch or workshop. I like going back and reading them. I have such fond memories of each job and remind myself how far I have come. Its a nice way

Left Over Artos Greek Celebration Bread Makes Great Bread Pudding! I thought I would share the recipe for the French Toast Casserole or Morning Bread Pudding I made at the workshop. I was able to assemble the mix the evening before so it was a snap in the morning to prepare the morning meal.Its a simple recipe...I like it kinda custardy so a can or two of evaporated milk or extra heavy cream is

On Thursday at the workshop I noticed the bananas lookin' a little long in the tooth. I took a look at the main house to see what was on hand. I noticed a bag of chocolate chips and some coconut. I thought maybe banana chocolate chip cookies but instead I decided on Banana Bread. I had been making sure there was something sweet throughout the week...orange oatmeal raisin cookies, pineapple

Though food is always on the brain....malt for bagels, bread pudding with Artos, yummy cheese for mac n cheese, moms pie, sunflower market sale, whats for dinner? ...etc. We are indeed much more than what we eat, but what we eat can nevertheless help us to be much more than what we are.

We have a beautiful lemon tree out back. It's one of the many perks of my new life here in LA, as well as daily farmers markets and an Aunt that loves to cook and likes to share! What a blessing for sure!I have always loved lemon desserts. Sean too! We always love getting a little lemon tart when out and about to bring home and share. Oh, and lemon cake - a for sure fav.

BBA Challenge #2 Artos: Greek Celebration Breads I love breads. I can find something yummy about all breads. I am not picky. I appreciate anything homemade. I normally bake bread once a week. I have some favorites I make - Whole Wheat Walnut, Challah, Focaccia, Buttermilk White. But I especially like trying new recipes.

We have been cooking together for 15 years - 12 of those working together at Food On The Go - a small catering business that we have shared in. We love eating what each other makes. We complement each others strengths and weaknesses. We both love reading cooking

Take a day - read, rest, bake - no pics, no typing, no twittin', no emails....I did spend the day baking. Cynthia came by.

I have been cooking for many years. Having had a catering business for 12 years, I have fed many folks. I love to cook and share. I have no problem sharing any recipe. I am happy to do so. If we could cook together, even better.I knew this time would come where I would want to write down exactly what I just did to share with others. Some of my friends get it – a handful of that, a little of this.

I love to bake! I don't need a reason. Sometimes inspired by a magazine, a new cook book, the lemon tree out back or really cute pears at the farmers market. I love to be in the kitchen creating something to share! I only want a bite or two(or three) then pass it on to friends and family. I plan to share a lot of recipes here.

This mostly refers to when reading the back of a package of say bread - there are a million ingredients that you cant pronounce - MALIC acid…that cant be good for you!
