Hey hey, it’s Sunday! Know what that means? Time to talk about the candy I’ve been making lately! Two weeks ago it was all about BARKS. Bark week was not just about making dreadful puns (“barks you should bite,” yeow!), oh no. It was also about making quick and easy candies that are perfect for…
I live with a dulce de leche lover. I’d even go so far as to say he’s a dulce de leche lovah. Jason-and-dulce-de-leche-sitting-in-a-tree territory. I don’t even know why I bother making fancy desserts, when I could just boil a can of condensed milk, give him a can opener and a spoon, and completely make…
This pie is actually supposed to be a berry galette. See, despite having a college education and a job where I actually get paid to write things, I still have my moments of illiteracy.

But despite how iffy the combination might seem, this pie made me a believer. Turns out they are two great tastes that taste great…
It’s hot outside. How hot is it? Well, if you read Redneck Words of Wisdom, you might be tempted to say that “it’s hotter than a billygoat with a blowtorch.” Or maybe “it’s hotter than two hamsters farting in a wool sock.” [I am a lady and I do not read such websites, but I…
Imagine me doing my best Jerry Seinfeld impersonation for a second: What is the deal with rhubarb? I mean seriously: what’s up, rhubarb? It’s a culinary mutt. It grows in stalks like celery, it’s red like berries, it’s tart like lemons, and it gets mushy like apples. Oh yeah, and it’s a vegetable that’s basically…
