Have you ever had such high hopes for something, that you don’t even consider the end result will be anything except for everything you ever imagined? It happens to me a lot. Especially when I’m decorating cakes. I get these fabulous ideas, grandiose even, but sometimes when I start working on them…the ideas just don’t […]

Potato Rolls: Bring on the Buns!!!
In my last post I mentioned saving the water that you boil your potatoes in to use for making bread. I didn’t know if I would have time today to show you want to do with it. I had some serious cake baking that needed to get done and even though I’m a super duper […]
Coq Au Vin
Today I was craving Coq Au Vin. I’m not really sure why I was craving it, because I’ve never actually had it before. It just sounded good. The weather has been dreary so something slow cooked sounded amazing. I knew I wanted to use chicken and some veggies, but I didn’t want a hotdish or […]
Sushi Party!
I love dinner with friends, the more the better! Summer and I have been trying to plan a get-together and we decided that tonight was the night. Her daughter, Isabelle, loves sushi and had been asking when they could come over and make some. Piyush and I learned to make sushi from a couple of […]
Craving something Indian
I’m looking more and more forward to my trip to India everyday! I can’t believe it’s under a month away now. I have so many gifts to buy for people, so many things to pack for Piyush and I (note to self: don’t forget the toilet paper), and not a lot of time to brush […]
Bouillabaisse: Something Smells Fishy!
Today was a productive day! I had went to a cable class last night at the gym and was really, really hurting this morning. I feel muscles that I usually forget I have. As much as I wanted to just laze around and relax I decided that I should go back to the gym today […]
Macarons for My Husband
I love macarons! I’m not talking about those coconut things people always make for Christmas either. Those are Macaroons, and they are okay, sure, but they don’t even hold a candle to the French Macaron! The french macaron is a dainty, chewy little piece of heaven. After one bite your life will be changed. You […]
What a Beautiful Baking Day!
I love this crisp weather. It’s absolutely perfect. Unfortunately, the crispness in the air also means that snow will be here sooner than later. That makes me sad. But the snow isn’t here yet, so I’m going to do my best to enjoy autumn as long as I can! I love everything about autumn. I […]
Pesto Pasta…for one! My Version of Noodle and Co.’s Pesto Cavatappi
Today Mayo is hosting a chess tournament in the cafeteria so Piyush is busy competing with his friends. I work evenings this weekend, so its nice he has something fun (for him) to do aside from golf. He is a golf maniac and I think a little weekend break will be good for him. While […]
