So did I tell you I started a Hip Hop class Tuesday nights? Well I did, and it is awesome and I think I might try out for SYTYCD next year {joke, huge, huge joke}
You know, I think for me, it's really the exercise that does my diet and staying fit plan in. It really just opens up a whole new can o... Comment - Like

Okay, this is my way of saying 'I'm sorry' to all of those of you who have an equal or greater fear of all things creepy {is that possible?} than me. I know, that pic of that nasty lizard freaks me out too. I dry heaving as we speak just thinking about him! I forgot to mention in my last post tha... Comment - Like

During my excitement at posting about our month of vegetarianism, I forgot we'd be gone for nearly 3 weeks to Southeast Asia before I'd have time to get to it.
I had some amazing culinary experiences and delights that I can't wait to share. Once again I've fallen completely behind! But here is... Comment - Like

My little blog reunion is being conspired against, as my PC and laptop have both blown gaskets within weeks of each other; the most recent of the two being yesterday. I'm not about to be posting from an iphone, and my ipad was lifted from the pram in recently weeks as well.
Wow, when typed up lik... Comment - Like

Yes... we've moved again. Probably no surprise to anyone who 'knows' me well.
Just before Christmas (again) we packed up and moved from the 'country' suburbs of Melbourne (Warrandy... Comment - Like

I have had the idea to make dog bones for children, such as my G, who are obsessed with pretending they are dogs. This idea has been swirling around the frontal lobes for probably a good year and a half now. Finally acted on it this week and success!

The other night I woke up after dreaming all night about crab cakes. Really random, nothing about me is particularly New England-y. In fact I'm not sure I've ever eaten a crab cake before! But ever since watching that Crab Cake countdown special on the Discovery Travel and Adventure channel a few... Comment - Like

Ya'll know how much I loves me my vanilla beans. But you know, I get them so cheap that it seems like a shame to not use them liberally.
I'm trying not to be a try-hard on this one. Maybe the effort put forth in this recipe is all for nothing -typical results could come from 1 tsp. of vanilla extr... Comment - Like

It seems the longer the break between posts, the harder it is to come back. Then I post and find it truly addictive and am ready to post again the next day, if not the next hour!
I have not been cooking much still since our move. The summer has been gorgeous and in between unpacking, potty-traini... Comment - Like

If you are a friend of this blog at all then you will already know how much I love treats. I especially love treats that have even the littlest bit of redeeming quality... all the better to rationalize you with my pretty!

I do realize that I am several years late jumping on the homemade marshmallow trend. It is something I have wanted to make for years, but that list has been pretty long you know! Beyond that, at least the past two years I've lived in a place where the store-bought marshmallows are nearly as good a... Comment - Like

I really love Orzo, and recently spent hours trying to find it, as well as orecchiette, in whole wheat versions, only with success on the former. Loving being able to have it in nutty, wholesome wheat for at least the orzo!
If you are unfamiliar, orzo is a little pasta grain shaped like rice. As y... Comment - Like

So, if you don't like cherries then you're life pretty much sucks right now since here we have another post dedicated to the beautes. This recipe was obviously borne from the tartes in the previous post. I LOVE to spin-off my own recipes and recreate them into an entirely different meal or idea.

So if you haven't noticed I quit this blog. The decision was made the same day I realized it was finally my scheduled week to have my blog redesigned...and I'd already paid for it. Awesome.

This pretentious sounding supper {ps does anyone hate the word 'supper' as much as me?...} is the epitome of food from my culinary perspective.

My daughter's 5th birthday party was in June, and my friend Sals, who is a photographer, took some great shots and just passed them on to me. So I thought I'd share them to get some ideas flowing if anyone is having a birthday party for a little girl anytime in the near future.

I was just going to add this on as an update to the last post, but one bite of it yesterday and I realized it deserved it's own post.
I added the coconut, as promised, but added a special, saucy, secret ingredient that probably shouldn't be added for something served before 5 pm, let alone breakfast... Comment - Like
