Everyone should know by now that I am a cheese freak. A cheeseoholic. A cheese master. ...I guess one could even say that I'm a bit... cheesy. Buh-dum-psssh. Queso is usually my go-to cheesy wonder of amazingness, but I thought today I would change it up a bit and go with something a bit more traditional and Americanized.
What's more American than broccoli and cheese? Besides Apple Pie or Baseball. Neither of which would make for a very good cheese dip...
Read MoreIf you haven't noticed by now, I'm a little obsessed with food trends. There has been one food trend going around for a while now that I've been keeping my eye on, and that's Japanese Cheesecake.
As I've come to find out, Japanese Cheesecake goes by a few different names, all of which do their fair share of describing this cake; Japanese Cotton Cake, Soufflé Cake, Jiggly Cake, and Pillow Cake, just to name a few...

Okay. So. Not only are these biscuits and gravy low-carb and gluten-free, but I have to say that this was some of the best damn biscuits and gravy that I've ever put in my mouth. And those are big words coming from a southern girl.
With everything that's been going on here around Austin lately, I needed some good southern comfort food in a bad way this week. I think all of us here did. And there isn't much more southern or comforting than a good plate of biscuits and gravy...

Who's ready for Spring? I know that I am! I've said it before, and I'm sure I'll say it a million and one times more, but Spring has to be my favorite season! The sun is changing, the light is changing, the air smells and feels different, and I'm always in awe of the flowers and greenery as it starts to return to life.
What better way is there to celebrate anything (especially Spring) other than with cake?! So today we're going to cheer on Spring with some adorable Chocolate 'Carrot Patch' Cupcakes! These little darlings couldn't be sweeter; with their carrot colored chocolate covered strawberries and cookie/cake crumbles, they look just like a fresh carrot patch!...
Read MoreOnce upon a time I went to a place and tried a bananadoodle cookie, much against my will, and I liked it. No. Nope. No, no scratch that. I LOVED it. It was truly one of the best cookies that I had ever eaten. And that's saying a lot because I am a cookie fiend. I was completely surprised with how much I enjoyed the cookie. Mostly because out of all the cookies in the world, snickerdoodles are probably one of my least favorites.
I think I must find them bland or boring when compared to just about any cookie that's usually loaded up with extra naughty bits like chocolate chips.

I don't know about you, but I can see the changes in the season here in Austin Texas already. It's staying daylight out longer and longer in the evenings now and the sky is a brighter shade of blue. The birds are chirping, the grass is turning green, and it's warming up to a perfect 70 degrees on most days.
I know that we will likely have a few more 'winter' days or grey rain, but it's always nice to see the onset of Spring. It's probably my favorite season (when it comes to the weather especially.) That's why I've started this weekend off right with this Spring inspired carrot cake granola!...
