The Big Squeeze

When Jason and I were expecting our first baby together, he decided that margaritas were pretty darn tasty.

Food as Art

It’s no secret that we like to play with our food. I used to love making little gumpaste and fondant creatures for cakes. Sometimes it’s fun getting your hands a little “dirty” with food.

That makes them the perfect apple for making this deep-fried treat. They make something similar to these at Legoland, but if you don’t live near San Diego, or don’t wish to shell out $7 to park and $70 to buy a ticket for the privilege of paying $4 more...

Everyone loves chocolate chip cookies, especially warm and fresh from the oven. However the best ones require quite a few ingredients, which can be a pain to drag out and measure and put back away.
