I would like to welcome Mike Brindley, a co-worker and fellow food-lover. He let me try some of this angel food cake and I have to say it was quite fluffy and delicious! I hope you enjoy it! — Keith I've always loved angel food cake; so light and airy. Years ago, I made it from a boxed mix, like my Mom did. Recently, I've seen some TV chefs make angel food from scratch and they...

I had to come up with something to celebrate the holiday with and for some reason around the 4th of July my mouth waters for every cake I see with whole blueberries and strawberries on top. This cupcake recipe was my answer! I used the Strawberry cupcake recipe from last week and simply reduced the amount of strawberries and added whole blueberries to the batter. Then to make it have all the...

I'm still imagining myself sitting at Grandma's table trying to eat these ribs before the meat fell off the bone. They were the best ribs I've ever had. No, I've never had ribs from the south, so maybe I've never officially had "ribs" — but these were GOOD! They were juicy, tender, and like I said, the meat fell off the bone! The secret wasn't any special sauce or how long he let the...

We took a trip to Grandma and Tom's cabin this weekend and had such a relaxing time. I often think that my inspiration for cooking [and eating] comes from Grandma's great food! Every Christmas and Summer when I was a child my family would go over the river and through the woods to Grandma's house. Every morning there would be hearty oatmeal, fluffy pancakes, or homemade muffins baking in the...

Rachel and I always make a big breakfast (or brunch depending on how late we sleep in) on the weekends. Some mornings it's waffles with fresh strawberries and real whipped cream. Other days I'll come up with some topping or syrup to put on whole-meal pancakes. We love to start the weekend with a large meal and it adds a fun tradition to our week. This past week I wanted to use some cut...

"These are the best cupcakes I've ever had!" Those were the words of my beautiful wife after devouring one of these cupcakes I just whipped up. That says a lot. I really value her opinion when I cook but I have to say these little delights are SO GOOD! I started with Amy's Strawberry cupcake recipe, modified it a little, then topped it off with a fluffy chocolate frosting recipe from recipe...

Elise and Garrett posted a recipe for making Orange Poppy Seed Cookies and I thought they sounded good and was about to make them when I read the end of the post. Garrett mentioned that a "novel option" was to switch out the poppy seeds for some ground coriander and replace the orange with lemon. I did just that! The result was a happy mouth. They weren't as "savory" as I thought they might...
