A Look Back on Food Blog Forum at Walt Disney World, 2013 Edition
When I reflect on my early days of blogging, I remember struggling with the role of self in blog posts. I was a journalist testing the waters in this completely unfamiliar territory, and I wanted to do it right. Coming from a journalism perspective, it felt unnatural to use “I” in my posts but at [...]
Decadent Chocolate Dipped Shortbread Cookies with Liberté Mediterranee Coconut
Whenever anyone hears what I do for a living — particular the recipe development aspect of it — I am hit with the same reaction: “Well, if you ever need anyone to taste test …” And inevitably, I laugh and say “maybe!” It would be fun to always be sharing something delicious and new, but [...]
Crunchy Strawberry Salad
Note: This recipe is part of a sponsored series created for Fiber One. With strawberry season arriving in the northeast, I am thinking of all the ways I will use strawberries this season. Typically, I make jam, freeze some, make lemonade, eat a lot and slice some into salads. Strawberries have always been my favorite [...]
Chocolate Crunch Fruit Salad
Note: This recipe is part of a sponsored series created for Fiber One. I. Love. Fruit salad. Love it. And in the summer, I will often trade a green salad for a fruit salad with dinner — something that my husband thinks is a little odd, but that my kids enjoy. Fruit salad is also [...]
Quickie Chocolate Banana Trail Mix
Note: This recipe is part of a sponsored series created for Fiber One. Last fall, Paige started soccer. She’s been watching Will play since she was a toddler, but finally decided last year that it’s time for her to join it too. So on Saturday mornings, we trek out to a damp, dewy field where [...]
Itty Bitty Raisin Biscuits
The first time I made biscuits I was in my teens — or maybe younger — and used the same mix we made pancakes from. After spying the recipe on the box, I couldn’t help but try making them — even if it felt a little illicit to be using our pancake mix in a [...]
Quick Double Chocolate Peppermint Mug Cake
Sometimes, you just feel like a little cake. Especially chocolate cake. (Am I right or am I right?!?) And that’s when mug cakes come in so handy. They are fast, easy and tasty — and they totally take care of the cake craving. To make a mug cake, you stir together a few ingredients in [...]
Sponsored: Fun, Learning and … Summer Camp? Inside the Microsoft Store
Summer’s almost here and just about every parent I know is thinking about what their kids will do this summer. On one hand, there’s the relief of relaxed days filled with fun. But you also need to find things for them to do to keep their minds occupied too. And for some parents, there is [...]
Warm Salad with Grilled New Potatoes
When the weather warms up, I start thinking about lighter foods. The soups and roasts that hit the spot on frigid New England winter days are forgotten in favor of lighter summer fare like fruit, everything grilled and salads. Dinner becomes an art of combining no-cook dishes (can’t heat up the kitchen!) combined with whatever [...]
Grilled Garlic Butter Clams
New England summers have always meant copious amounts of seafood for me. And this year is no different — so as soon as the temperatures hit that comfortable level where grilling outside can be accompanied with eating outside, we picked up some littleneck clams to grill. Our local butcher shop, which also features a nice [...]
