Let’s talk about some food myths shall we? Myth – Carbs make you fat Sorry to be all gangbusters right out of the gate. But carbs don’t make you fat. Not exercising or eating right makes you fat. Carbs = Fuel. So, unless you’re burning calories (read: exercising), then your carbs are going to waste….
Oreo Cheesecake…because, why not?
There’s this little tradition that’s come up. A cheesecake one. You all know my status as a cheesecake aficionado/connoisseur. I take cheesecake very seriously. Look at me. VERY seriously. So, Tucker (my lil bro) is in the Navy. Means we don’t see him very much. When he comes home, I find it to be an excellent excuse…
Lemon Meringue Pie
See, now….I’m sure in every family cookbook, there’s a recipe for Lemon Meringue Pie. It’s been passed down through the generations and invokes memories with just one bite. (sort of like that scene in Ratatouille) I LOVE that movie, and not just because the chef’s name is Remy. I’m off on a tangent. Back to…
Buttermilk Pie
Back with a vengeance!!! We’re mostly settled in the new home. So awesome that our closing/moving date was on the 2nd hottest day on record in Knoxville. High of 104…and we’re moving a truckload of furniture. AND the A/C in the U-Haul was out. Guess who had heat rash at the end of the day?…
“Restaurant” Pancakes
First thing’s first… Ahhhh….that’s so much better. Now, where was I? Oh yes, the pancake. Is there a more simple breakfast pleasure? To me, pancakes mean Saturday morning. Delicious cup of coffee, some crispy bacon, and a stack of spongy pancakes that soak up all the syrup within a ten mile radius. Humor me for…
Quaintness – You’re doing it right
Every year if time permits, we like to go visit my Nana in Blowing Rock. You see, Nana is awesome. She was married to my Papa for almost 40 years before he passed away back in 2002. And she still fiercely loves him and talks about him as if he hung the moon. She treats…
Homemade Butter
Making homemade butter is surprisingly simple and easy, especially if you have a KitchenAid Mixer. Here we were, sitting in our PJ’s watching Alex Guarnaschelli on her show, ‘Alex’s Day Off’ and she just “whipped up some homemade butter” Of course she did. She’s an awesome chef. But after watching her make it, we said…
the Madness that is P90X
Many of you are aware by now that we have been doing the fitness craze known as P90X. Before we committed to this, we really needed to make sure we were going to stick with it no matter how many bad days we had or how many times we just wanted to come home and…
