Brown Butter Caramelized Banana Bread

I am a zombie.  Yesterday morning, Carson and I woke up, flew to LA, attended the Emmy's, and then flew home on a red-eye last night.  Essentially, we spent 12 hours in Los Angeles and another 12 hours on a plane in a 24-hour timespan.  I am a zombie.  BUT,...

When I'm on vacation and in an unfamiliar kitchen without my own arsenal of kitchen ingredients, I love to make up recipes.  Oh, when you're on vacation you love to relax, shop, get facials?  You sound normal.  I sound not normal.  However, I gotta be, gotta...

Want to know something?  I love olive oil.  Some women collect shoes, or handbags, or jewelry... and I collect olive oils.  One of my favorite brands, Bertolli, is celebrating their 150th anniversary and they sent me that beautiful anniversary bottle above....

Pizza Dough turned into Ciabatta Bread

I love making homemade bread (oh my, remember this), and even my own pizza dough (seen here), but let's face it - with two small kids, a third on the way, and the desire to shower OCCASIONALLY, I don't always have the time.  One of my favorite short cuts is to ask my local...

S'mores Banana Bread

The Internet ruins everything.  I'll show you how.  Think of an amazing idea - the best idea you've ever had - then google that idea, and you'll notice thousands of other people have had that very same thought.  Gee, thanks Internet, for stripping us of our originality...

Chocolate Croissant Bread Pudding

Nothing makes me happier than a chocolate croissant.  Nothing.  I mean, other than my kids and Carson and good health and peace on Earth.  Obviously.  But I've always had a thing for chocolate croissants, even as a kid when most people my age preferred frosted,...
