Recipes for desserts.
Holiday-themed recipes are sometimes hard for me—specifically when it comes to this column. As I see recipes start to pop up online for fun holiday treats, the responsible thing would be to make them weeks in advance to give everyone reading this the time to get the ingredients and make it for their holiday get-togethers. …

When I first moved out on my own, I discovered that I had no idea how to cook for only one person. I was great at making portions for four, but cooking for one was a challenge. So I generally still made my four-person meals and brought lots of leftovers to work for lunch throughout …

I’d like to think I’m not easily swayed by pretty pictures, but I was totally taken in last week by a photo of these amazing-looking molten cinnamon rolls. They promised a warm, inviting cinnamon roll with oozing, melty cream cheese in the center. Of course, I immediately bought a couple tubes of cinnamon rolls to …

One of my favorite types of recipes is the kind where people look at what you made and immediately ask, “How did you do that?” That was the case with this week’s recipe, which I baked for a St. Patrick’s Day-themed get together we had. I made a variety of Irish dishes (which I will …

When my sister and I were kids, my mom would take us to the Rainbow Bread Outlet in Hutchinson on weekly grocery trips. If we were especially good, we sometimes got a chance to pick out a bag of Sathers candy, which were two for $1 at the time. One of my favorites was black …

The problem with writing this column every week is that sometimes I get a little too overzealous. I assume I can conquer any recipe the first time, and there are definitely moments where I crash and burn. That was the case recently when I tried to make poached pears to go along with the cake …

I spend a bit of time each week scrolling through my Pinterest feed, hunting down new recipes I might want to try. It’s funny how certain recipes start trending suddenly.

During its 2020 election coverage, ABC News accidentally used images of voters from the country of Georgia, misidentifying them as people from Atlanta. This caused a lot of posts online, with some people mocking the news outlet and a few posting that they didn’t even know there was a Georgia outside of the U.S. In …

Joey looked at me this afternoon and declared he’s officially done with turkey. After taking home some leftovers from my parents’ house on Thanksgiving and having our own leftovers from hosting that weekend—and making both a roasted bird as well as one on the smoker—we have quite the collection of Tupperware boxes in our fridge. …

I said when I bought my tart pans that everyone was just going to have to deal with my experimentation, and here it is again. Don’t worry, though, because this recipe is also tailor made to become a pie. Some fantastic friends of ours held a fun “Friendsgiving” get together last weekend. We were able …
