Several years ago I got into the Aubrey/Maturin series of books by Patrick O’Brian.

Yesterday, Bacon Toffee. Today? Eggs in a Basket. Bacon and eggs. See? I’m practical…
And this dish? It hits all the right buttons. It is flavorful, cheap, easy to prepare, simple to customize, cheap, and kid friendly. And did I mention it’s easy on [...]
Did you see the Maple Bacon Cake over on Thursday Night Smackdown? Michelle, the proprietress of TNS, is a true lover of the bacon and made ample use of bacon toffee on her cake. I’ve been meaning to make a sweet bacon dish for about a year. A few months ago sweet bacon recipes started popping [...]
I am about to let you in on a secret. I routinely lie to my fourth born child. But I confine it to food and hope that since it’s with the end design of nourishing him that eventually I’ll be forgiven. He has such strict (and arbitrary) rules about what he will and won’t eat. He won’t touch [...]

With five minutes of hands-on time I turned out these phenomenal Chocolate Truffle Tarts. To make [...]
I make no secret of the fact that I’m a fan of the book ‘Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day’. Using their Master Recipe, I have experimented and made some of our new family favorites; Bread! Fully Loaded and English Muffins, among others. I’m the first to admit that I tend to get stuck in ruts. [...]
I was making my usual rounds in the food blogging world when I popped in over at the Smitten Kitchen. She was making whole lemon tarts and I was, in a word, smitten. I’ve always had a real thing for lemon bars, and for tarts of any kind, and combining the two? Well, shut my mouth.
