Do you pin? I do. I was warned how addicting Pinterest was when my friend Lara introduced it to me. Did I listen? No. Of course not. I love pinning and planning to make things and actually making plans come to fruition. Last night I was on my cupcake board looking to see if I had […]

Bacon Roasted Turkey Breast with Sage Butter
If you can believe it Thanksgiving is one short week away! I finally got my plans on lock down this past weekend. We’re going to my dad’s to say hi to everyone, and then I’m cooking at home for my MIL, her husband, Mike and the boys. I’m off turkey duty this year which is […]
Philly Cheesesteak Macaroni & Cheese
Happy May everyone! This year is just flying by. So, a little confession. Not surprisingly, I’m a Food Network and Cooking Channel addict. I’ve been watching both for years. Unique Eats & Sweets, Secrets of a Restaurant Chef, Throwdown, the list goes on and on – culminating with my foodie crush Alton Brown. Then Food Network Magazine […]
Spiked Chiffon Cake with Chocolate Whipped Cream
I love Alton Brown. I don’t think I’ve been too shy about that fact. 🙂 He’s brilliant, has great recipes, and I love learning why food works the way it does (see: the science of cooking). When I tried his Baked Alaska recipe for WLOW’s 1st birthday, I had so much chiffon cake […]
Mike’s Favorite Chicken Parmesan

Homemade Microwave Popcorn
I’m a zombie today. I was up every 45 minutes to an hour last night with the kids. Where they get the idea that mom doesn’t need to sleep is beyond me. I’ve made it very clear on many occasions that I prefer a full night’s sleep to frequent wake up calls. Silly boys. Since […]
My First Thanksgiving
Hi. My name’s Julie. And I’m a turkey virgin. That’s right. I’m cooking my first solo Thanksgiving dinner. I’ve brought sides over to someone else’s house in previous years. This year is the first time I’m shouldering the workload. And it all comes down to the turkey. I’ve been googling, watching The Chew, looking up Alton Brown’s […]
Chocolate Lava Muffins
Hi everyone. Today I’m baking with Joanna (another Joanna), she works with me. For weeks now I’ve been bringing in goodies I’ve made for the blog for lunch and for treats to share with my co-workers. After the parade of yummies I brought to work, Joanna asked me to help her make […]
Hot Chocolate – Two Ways
I’m cheap. Have I mentioned this before? I guess I should explain. It’s more that I’ve lived serving shift to serving shift in my life and when Christmas rolls around I didn’t always have money to spend on each niece and nephew (count them all, 5 at the time). I would make “family” presents. My favorite […]
