I hate going to the doctor’s office. Not because I don’t like seeing the doctor, but because I hate waiting to see the doctor. See, whenever I have an appointment, I try to get there at least a few minutes early, that way if they’re ready for me when I’m actually scheduled, I’ll be there… Continue reading Corny Cupcakes for the 4th

Chocolate Chip Cheese Ball
Since I’ve started doing my daily dinner column over at She Knows I’ve been buying food magazines like you wouldn’t believe. I mean, I love to cook, but I don’t have the time (or the energy) to create my own dinner recipes five days a week. Once or twice a week, sure, but five… no… Continue reading Chocolate Chip Cheese Ball
Hippo Cupcake Cake and a Giveaway
This Giveaway is now closed. A little over a month ago was A’s birthday. He turned two. And since several of his friends all have birthdays around the same time, I and a couple of my mommy friends decided to share the party. After all, at the age of two, the party’s still kinda for… Continue reading Hippo Cupcake Cake and a Giveaway
Lemon Honey Creme Cupcakes with Basil Frosting
Earlier this week I was lucky enough to be stung by a bee. Well, maybe lucky isn’t the best word to describe the situation; unlucky’s probably a better choice because let me tell you, if you’ve never been stung by a bee, IT HURTS! But anyway… something struck my as I watched that bee’s life… Continue reading Lemon Honey Creme Cupcakes with Basil Frosting
Strawberry Meringue Cake and an Anniversary
(sung to the tune of Happy Birthday.) Happy anniversary to me, happy anniversary to me, happy anniversary to me…Happy anniversary to meeeeee. I can’t believe it’s already been a year since I started Kitchy Cooking. Actually it’s been a little over a year. My first post was written for Passover and since Passover was at… Continue reading Strawberry Meringue Cake and an Anniversary
Doughnut-Apple Cobbler
As I’m sure you’ve noticed, desserts are something of which I’m a huge fan. It doesn’t matter if it’s chocolate or fruit, cupcakes or ice cream. If it’s sweet, I’m in. And if it’s easy, I’m at my mixer in a matter of seconds. So, a few weeks ago I made my first impulse buy… Continue reading Doughnut-Apple Cobbler
Orange Balsamic Shortbread Cookies
I recently visited the House of Balsamic for a balsamic tasting. As I mentioned in my previous post, I tasted some amazing vinegars, but my favorite by far was the Balsamo di Arancia – the orange balsamic vinegar. Since I purchased it, I’ve used it over pancakes and waffles and added it to Patron for a… Continue reading Orange Balsamic Shortbread Cookies
Marshmallow-stuffed Chocolate Cookies
The other day I had a serious chocolate craving. The kind where I had to have chocolate immediately and I didn’t care what form it came in. I’ll get these cravings every once in a while and my husband knows enough to stay out of the way. If I have to cook, okay. If I… Continue reading Marshmallow-stuffed Chocolate Cookies
Apple Flan
Every year when the stone fruit comes out, my mother makes a peach flan. I know the picture doesn’t look like a flan, it looks like a fruit tart, but my mother always referred to it as a flan, so the title stuck. Anyway, whenever there was a party in the spring or summer, my… Continue reading Apple Flan
Chocolate Mint Cookies for Eat my Blog December 2010
As some of you may recall, I participated in the Eatmyblog 2.0 in June where we raised over $5400. Since June’s bake sale was such a huge success, I told Cathy Dahn of Gastronomy Blog that I’d be more than happy to bake something new for Eatmyblog 3.0. For those of you who don’t know, Eatmyblog is a… Continue reading Chocolate Mint Cookies for Eat my Blog December 2010
Pumpkin Pudding
As I mentioned in an earlier post this month I am not a fan of pumpkin pie. I find it flat and boring. But I do love pumpkin, pumpkin bread, pumpkin cheesecake, pumpkin waffles… pretty much anything else except pumpkin pie. And of course I’m in charge of a dessert for Thanksgiving this year since I… Continue reading Pumpkin Pudding
