These babycakes are a bit like a little girl who’s grown up and is getting ready for her first prom – sweet, simple and soft, but all dressed up and looking glamorous!

The ingredients of our favorite crab cake made a delicious, crunchy panini sandwich.

Proof positive that sometimes the simplest recipes are the best! Dense, moist cake with a fresh, lemony flavor and aroma, plus a crisp sugar crust and delightful crackling top..

Why is pepperoni reserved only for pizza? It has so much to offer other dishes.

It’s got a lovely, spicy kick that adds lots of flavor, even when only a small amount is used. And, turkey pepperoni is just about as good as the real thing, so it can really liven up a healthy meal.

Yes. Yes, I could.

What do you make when you want something quick and easy, yet hearty and delicious? Try some baked gnocchi.

I recently signed up with the Barefoot Bloggers, just in time for their 1 year anniversary! This group tries out recipes by the Barefoot Contessa, Ina Garten, twice a month. I figured this would be a fun way to try some new recipes that I might not otherwise choose.
 
The first May recipe was chosen by Kate of Warm Olives and Cool Cocktails, and it’s one that’s right up my alley – Tuna Salad. Tuna Salad, you’re thinking? How boring! Not hardly.
