Last sum­mer I ended up inher­it­ing a set of cast iron cake pans. They had been in the fam­ily for sev­eral gen­er­a­tions and are in the shape of 3-D lambs. I wasn’t famil­iar with this tra­di­tion and a lit­tle inter­net research brought me to learn more about these sought-after lamb cake molds.

The tra­di­tion of lamb-shaped […]

vegan fruitcake delight!

On December 15, 2010 By

I couldn’t resist post­ing this fruit­cake recipe. We never had fruit­cake in my fam­ily when I was grow­ing up, so I don’t have bad mem­o­ries of it, but you can’t exist this time of year and not be famil­iar with the jokes that go along with fruitcake.

This fruit­cake, how­ever, is dense, moist and delicious […]

On November 16, 2010 By

Okay, I’m kind of suck­ing at MoFo. I think Novem­ber is not as good a month for it, it’s too busy. Plus, I have some news to share soon (no, I’m not preg­nant) that has been tying up my time, but that will come.

I love me some tomato soup. It’s my go-to food when I’m […]

As cliched as it is, […]

Remem­ber those awful Pizza Rolls com­mer­cials? They may still have them now, I don’t know, but I remem­ber watch­ing them when I was a teen. The young boy, bound­ing home from school with his friends in tow, pon­der­ing what they would have for an after school snack. After perus­ing the kitchen and turn­ing up […]

There is food being cooked! I haven’t had much to post lately because, frankly, we’ve been eat­ing ter­ri­bly bor­ing food. But I’ve been try­ing to mix it up a lit­tle bit, plus bring back some classics.

Ooh, sur­prise, sur­prise, quinoa! I never could have guessed! Well, I never said it would be thrilling. I […]

ham tube is dead to me

On April 12, 2009 By

So, a cou­ple of East­ers ago, I glazed a ham tube from Food Fight. The com­pany that made said ham tube went out of busi­ness and there is a new tube in town. I was so excited to glaze it up for Easter… and it was just sad, really.

First off, I […]
