And what about corndogs… a Texas State Fair staple?   Without the stick, simply some cornbread and pig parts.
Popsicles without the stick?  A puddle of melted ice cream in your hand.
And now, with the help of [...]

Valentine’s Day is one month from today, and while I’m not sure what fantastically wonderful creation I will be making for my family yet, I do like these silicone cupcake molds… maybe for cupcake for this kids’ classes.

I still don’t own this.
I do own this.  And I reeeeally like it.
But I’m dying to test metal vs. silicone because I’m curious like that.
Both pans are similar in color, but this one is heavy cast aluminum, designed to heat evenly.  Or so they say.

I’ve never made scones.  I’m not even a huge fan of scones because when my eyes see a scone, they tell my brain delicious sweet bready product coming soon, but what I taste doesn’t match my expectation.  Totally messes me up… every time.
So, do you wanna know what I made in this scone pan.  Not [...]

My parents have an enormous group of close friends in their small Texas town.  They gather frequently and food is always involved.  You know about small town potlucks, right? Tons of food.  Every kind of delectable dish imaginable, most of it made with butter.
And jello with fruit for dessert.
I’ve never understood the jello with fruit.  [...]

Have you ever noticed the difference between cooking bacon in cast iron and in a regular old non-stick pan?

I wouldn’t have taken this bet if you’d have asked me last week.  Bacon crisps up nice and crunchy in a regular old non-stick skillet just [...]

These are small (5″ *5″ * 5″) – they don’t call them petite for no reason – and so precious.  I’d love a [...]
