I could easily say that red is my favorite color in the kitchen. I have a bright red Kitchen Aid mixer, submersion blender and a few other red utensils. this apron and cutting board would be nice additions.
funny story. when I was pregnant, I couldn’t stand sweet potatoes. one funny smelling potato and I was done with them. now it seems I can’t get enough. they are always on my grocery list and I usually have a stock pile of them waiting to be cooked. so when I saw Hannah’s recipe for sweet potato biscuits, I knew exactly what I’d be making this weekend!! and caramelized shallot and sage butter? holy yum. maybe I’ll serve a little morel mushroom gravy on the side.
psst… my favorite classic biscuit recipe!

before you ask – no, today is not my birthday. but it’s coming up later this month and it’s a big one. the first into a new decade. I’m convinced that the best is yet to come so I’m embracing it with open arms.
every year, dlb and I bake a cake for each other’s birthday. last year it was a simple vanilla cake with chocolate frosting for me and carrot cake for him. the other day he asked me what kind of cake I’d like so my mind has been swirling with ideas. I’m all about a big cake, puffed to the max with sugar and cream, but I though I’d attempt to find something a little healthier. {couldn’t hurt, right?} I love the looks of these cakes from Roost, especially that Almond & Cherry Upside Down Cake.
what’s your favorite kind of cake?

have you heard of Gilt Taste? no? me either. I was familiar with the clothing version of Gilt but Taste is new to me. thanks to Suann, I’ve been drooling at my desk for the past twenty minutes while browsing through the sweets.

did you know I used to have a food blog? I found myself eating more than photographing so I abandon it years ago. but there are lots of good recipes on there, like these chocolate chip cookies for example. Joanna’s post on chocolate chip cookies inspired me to share my absolute favorite recipe with you. the make the best cookies for ice cream sandwiches! and holy cow, they are good. here’s the recipe if you’re interested.
