I’m just going to go ahead and say it now because I’ve been biting my tongue for nearly a month now; I don’t like hot weather. It makes me sweat. And sweating makes me cranky. Ergo, heat makes me cranky. I don’t mean the lovely warmth of a kitchen where bread is baking on a cold [...]

I’m going to warn you right now. The cake is made with a pound (A POUND, PEOPLE!) of butter, nine eggs, a pound of sugar and a pound of flour. Then the cake is sliced, spread with yet more butter and griddle fried. It’s addictive. And it’s swimming in caramel. And it’s topped with crème fraîche.

Between the tips, recipe and giveaway I once again had too [...] This is the second installment of my Southern New Year’s Foods series. Happy New Year!

We’re both [...] Thank you all so much for spending time with me here at Foodie with Family. To those of you who have visited me regularly through the year, thank you for your continued support. It has meant the world to me to get to know you all. And to those who are new, Welcome! I hope you [...] Now that I have the attention of the entire state of Minnesota, please allow me to expound. This is one of the most clever ideas I’ve seen out of the King Arthur Flour Baker’s Circle lately. (And they’re no creative slouches over at King Arthur.) In the most recent e-newsletter* from their test kitchen they included a [...] |
