For this edition of the Presto Pasta Night blogging event, I decided to drag out one of this dish from my “made that a while ago but haven’t posted about it yet” directories. It’s graciously being hosted by Once Upon a Feast. Be sure to check out Ruth’s round-up tomorrow.
There are times when you take […]

Sugar High Friday is an event started by Jennifer of The Domestic Goddess, and one that has grown in popularity over time. The theme for this month’s Sugar High Friday, hosted by Chocolate in Context, is raw chocolate. I had originally planned on making something with cocoa powder, but as luck has it, I ran […]

Ellie, the Kitchen Wench is hosting a once-off called This Nostalgia Tastes Bittersweet, in which food bloggers are asked to blog about a food that evokes a sensory memory for them. For this event, I called upon my husband for his input, and in the end, decided that this event suited him better than me, […]

I was honored to be asked by Breadchick of The Sour Dough to participate in the Cookbook Spotlight #3 event, in which food bloggers receive a cookbook, look through it, and then are asked to prepare a few recipes, and write about it. This time around, the cookbook chosen was “Ships of the Great Lakes […]

Kochtopf of 1x umrühren bitte is hosting a one-off event in honor of today: St. Pat’s Day: Green or Irish, in which we’re asked to cook or bake something green or Irish. Today, we had corned beef and colcannon.

I’m in a bit of a quandry. Normally, if I have a bad experience at a restaurant, I’ll visit a second time before writing a bad review. After all, they could be having an off night, and it wouldn’t be fair for me to pan them based on that, right??
However, I had an experience at […]

The theme for this round of HHDD#10, hosted this time around by Culinary Concoctions by Peabody, is one of my all-time favorites: cheesecake! Normally I’d just bake up Mom’s recipe, but since I’ve already blogged about that and since I was looking for something a little different this month, I decided on a Taste of […]

I’ve written time and time again about my love for the North Market, which I consider one of Columbus’ gems. One of the reasons I love the North Market so much is because of Jeni’s Ice Creams.
Most of the time I’ll just get a trio on my way out when I’m doing my weekly market […]

Inspired by this post at Off the Broiler, my husband and I attempted to recreate that drool-incuding burger. Here’s how ours turned out:
The Bernaise was a bit extraneous, but oh my God was this a good burger. Definitely a fork and knifer, though. We served it with hand-cut fries sprinkled with coarse sea salt. The […]

Have you ever made a meal that, rather than just appealing to your taste buds, also appealed to your sense of nostalgia?
Having been on a nostalgia trip ever since discovering Philly cheesesteaks in Ohio a few days ago, I wanted to create a meal that would evoke the Jersey Shore for me, not in any […]
