Retro Recipe Challenge #4 — Fall Favorites Deadline: 11:50pm EST Wednesday, November 15 How to put this delicately … sometimes in a woman’s life — or should I say month — she craves some high-fat, low-in-pretention food. With no one to answer to except a pet, a kick-ass cable package, and a long historical tell-all, […]

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
This is a hollowed out “Book of Spells” holding (a portion) of tonight’s candy booty for the Trick or Treaters. The inscription reads: Away with bean and broccoli spear! Banish carrot sticks from here! Shun the dull and humdrum treats. Keep this vessel filled with sweets!” — Sadie the Werewolf wishes you a terrific Halloween!
Pumpkin Spice Pancakes
Pumpkin spice pancake with scrambled eggs. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. And on a day that’s celebrated by the young gorging on candy and the “old” by downing fun mixed drinks, a good breakfast is especially important. Next time, I’ll increase the spicy kick with more cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg, but […]
Buttermilk Mashed Potatoes
At left, buttermilk mashed potatoes accompanied with meatloaf and veggies. The word “buttermilk” in a recipe always sucks me in. Buttermilk pancakes? Yep. Buttermilk. Buttermilk fried chicken? Yes, please. Buttermilk mashed potatoes? Definately! Unfortunately, these are good but not as good as I expected them to be. They’re a bit creamier than regular milk would […]
Cake Decorating Class, Weeks 3 and 4 & a Product Review of Dr. Oetker’s Vanilla Cake Mix

I couldn’t do anything right. Reverse shell, writing letters, creating leaves: everything I touched turned out poorly. Because we didn’t frost anything and I had […]
Meatloaf with Chili Sauce
See those mashed potatoes? The recipe is a’comin. The day I made this recipe, it tasted pretty good. The next day, it was fantastic. So make it a day ahead, reheat, and enjoy with abandon! This recipe makes two loaves or, for a kid-friendly twist, put the mixture into 24 muffin cups. Meatloaf With Chili […]
Pumpkin Spice Cake with Honey Cream Frosting
I wish this picture did the flavor of this cake justice. I found this recipe on JoyOfBaking.com and slightly adapted it only because I couldn’t find our bottle of maple syrup. No matter — this is an amazingly delicious cake! Why can’t all cakes be like this? The cake is moist and delicate, with a […]
