Recipe: Clafouti Cutie!

Posted in breakfast, dessert, for veggies, recipes to impress, snackies on June 26, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

According Wikipedia (which is my handbook for life) the traditional fruit is cherries, though I decided to use plums because my mom has a tree and I am inundated with them. Santa rosa plums are taking over my LIFE! This recipe is a bit [...]

I started drinking coffee at age 12. I started with the Starbucks pre-mixed frappuccino beverages you get in the grocery store.

I stayed steady on those for a [...]

Today is National Doughnut Day, which is pretty awesome. Every year I find out about more semi-obscure holidays extolling the virtues of all kinds of foods.
