Heading back to work Friday was tough – on one hand, there was no need to slather myself in SPF 100 – on the other, there was no sun, no catamaran, and no scheduled pineapple break. One way to remind myself of just how delightful Costa Rica was was to fix a snack my Tica … Continue reading
I’m diving in Costa Rica this week! Yay! But alas, I am away from my kitchen. However, I am working out wonderful ideas for boozy flan. And tres leches cake. And possibly something with a shark theme. All I know is new items for experimentation will be purchased in duty free. Please hold. Continue reading
Every Lifestyle magazine tells me the same thing: Superbowl=brownies. Not sure why. One would think with all the chili/wings/fried chicken/pulled pork sliders with Doritos crushed into the buns/bacon greased everything that dessert would consist of an orange slice or a stomach pump. But if Martha, et al tell me it is the perfect time for … Continue reading
I’m the kind of girl who likes to have my proverbial cake and eat it too. Dance all night but get up for early morning yoga. Settle in but not settle down. Free fall with a safety harness on. I’m also the kind of girl who does not buy into the whole single-girl-woe-is-me-I’ll-get-a-cat-instead mentality. I … Continue reading
I’ve had the blues lately – those long road ahead, full tank of gas, guitar player in the passenger seat kind of blues – the I’m itchin’ to run, return the prodigal son, guided by the Texaco star blues. Makes you think about Elvis. And songs about Elvis. And marshmallow fluff? A take on the … Continue reading
It’s no secret I cook my feelings. Then I feed those feelings to other people. It’s my only form of expression that doesn’t fall under awkward-robot-person-with-uncontrolled-word-vomit. This recipe comes from my grandmother, the ultimate feed-people-your-feelings cook. This recipe is malleable to other veggies, but leek is my favorite, and the least involved. Generations of serving … Continue reading
I attempted this recipe from MarthaStewart.com, mostly because the finished product looked so impressive. I have to say it was a masterful okay-crazy kind of baked good to bring to a party, but I was disappointed in the cake portion. It was oily and salty and too crumbly to really sustain the reduction sauce – … Continue reading
Our New Product Development team recently invested in a new tool to ease the potential growth of ideas and production for The Boozy Bakeshop. The device can be commonly referred to as a cupcake corer. It was transported to our state-of-the-art testing facilities and run through our rigorous standards. The results were highly conclusive that … Continue reading
While somewhat a grinch, I really do have a soft spot for the holiday season when it comes to food, fuzzy sweaters and that one Salvation Army guy who dances while ringing not one, but two bells and partying like its 1899 with wassel, toddies or spiced buttered rum to warm up the insides. They’re … Continue reading
I went to New Zealand during part of the rainy season. Surprisingly we had great weather, save a few torrentially rainy days that prohibited outdoor activities. On one such day, we went to the local tourist office to see what what we could do. My friend and I were in wine country and wandering around … Continue reading
