Whenever we go to Panda Express I always eye up the chicken egg rolls but never buy them. It’s a mixture of me feeling too guilty to eat additional fried calories and me being to cheap to buy them. Let’s be honest here – it’s probably the later. But last week, I finally got my egg roll fix! Instead ofRead more

I am a HUGE pizza fan. I like thin crust, thick crust, sauceless, saucy, cheesy, meaty…you name it. I’ve rarely turned my nose up at a pizza. We make pizza once a week in our house so I like to mix up the variety a bit. I try to avoid eating the same kind every time, but usually I findRead more

This recipe needed the word “perfect” in the title. They really are the perfect french fry. We’ve been making these fries for the last 6 months or so, but I was finally able to get a picture to share. Normally, they aren’t around long enough for a picture, so I had to make a special batch just for you guys!Read more

Here’s yet another keeper from the very talented Rebbecca Rather. If you haven’t purchased The Pastry Queen yet, I think it’s time to consider doing so! First of all, how enticing does the title of this recipe sound?! In my opinion, these scones are more biscuit-like than scone-like, but they are still delicious. You can bake up a batch onRead more

I hope that everyone has had a great first week of 2012! It was definitely hard to get back in the swing of things for me, but I think next week things will be back to normal. To end the week, I have a great recipe for you to try! I’m sure I know the answer to this first question,Read more

I feel kind of guilty saying this, but while most people are bracing themselves for the rest of winter, we are enjoying absolutely perfect weather here in Arizona. The past week, the weather has been hovering around 75-80F. James and I started off the new year with two local hikes and have been enjoying READ MORE

If you’re like my family, the go-to meat for Christmas dinner is ham. We always seem to buy too much meat in the Constable household and this Christmas was no different. Apparently you don’t need a 13 pound ham for 4 people? Who knew? I’m not complaining though! Ham is my absolute favorite leftover meat. I think because it’s smoked,Read more

The holidays are over and it’s time for everyone’s inevitable I-ate-way-too-much-so-I’m-going-to-make-up-for-it diet. Although I’m not really one to jump on that bandwagon, I do crave something at least a little lighter the days after Christmas. I think my body feels like it needs a detox from the 20 lbs of butter and sugar I consumed since Thanksgiving. So, at leastRead more

Every baker needs a great red velvet recipe in their arsenal. This is mine. I have tried at least 5 different red velvet recipes, but none of them can compare to this one. It is ridiculously moist (read: lots of oil, but hey, it’s called a treat for a reason) and has the perfect hint of chocolate. Combo it withRead more

Mint meringue cookies are an easy treat that you can put together in just a few minutes, with minimal effort. Most people buy meringue cookies in the store (Trader Joe’s always has a big display by the registers), but you can make them at home for a fraction of the cost with a few ingredients you probably have on hand.Read more
