Cheese Monster Head
I love food. I love talking about it, creating wonderful dishes, and feeding people. The kitchen is my happy place and I love conducting experiments there, whether the dishes are savory or sweet. I like to blog about it when I have time, in hopes that I might help or inspire others. I don't consider myself a food snob, though I am picky about how certain meals are prepared. I'm happy with a simple meal at home, like beans and cornbread, as well as a meal in a fine-dining establishment (and everything in between). I hope you enjoy my blog and leave me some feedback if you have time.

Rolls to Kill and Die for...
Quick, dreamy, "I could eat eight of them in one sitting" rolls...
These took less than two hours: including prep time, proofing and baking. Damn they were good! Rose like a dream, too. No problems at all...except that it was hard to stop eating them. Just like the old slogan from Lay's potato chips: "No one can eat just one!"
These were baked on my grandmother's old sheet pan, too.
See? Told you that thing was good luck! ;)

Noodle Art

Because I was too lazy to look for the pasta machine. Well, when you're making homemade chicken noodle soup...the noodles should really be "rustic-cut" anyway, ha ha!
Noodle art on my grandmother's sheet pan. That pan has seen many, many, many, many kolache, bukta, cinnamon rolls and other yummy baked goods over the years. It's a lucky pan...brings good luck to the person using it. :)
