Sometimes I am totally overwhelmed by the sheer volume of awesome things I come across on the daily. I try so hard to remember allllllllll the things I wanna tell you about because they plain old strike my fancy, but then I get distracted by things like baking bread or eating ice cream sandwiches. Ice …
Earlier this week I briefly mentioned a gigantic bucket of tomatoes given to me by my neighbors from their garden. Wasn’t that nice? And there are a bazillion more tomatoes where these came from. I am not a canner or a freezer-filling planner… this is actually the first occasion in my entire life I’ve even had the …
Thick slices of bread are soaked in vanilla custard and grilled. Topped with bourbon and brown sugar peaches, this Bourbon Peach French Toast makes a great summer dessert or sweet addition to brunch. f I’m still trying to figure out if this is breakfast? Or dessert? It sort of fits into that crepes with cream …
This morning, a little after 4 a.m., my eyes fluttered open because I heard a noise. Actually, this is the third time this week that a late night noise has pulled me from my already sporadic slumber. The first two times were weird; once I woke up in a panic and scrambled off the bed …

But not as sweet and tart as Sweet Tarts. Which I put in the food processor.Then I tossed the powdered candies with a pint of …
This week is one greatbiglongneverending list. There’s the three birthdays in five days list. And the eleven people getting ready for a beach trip list. I have shopping lists and grocery lists, packing lists and left to-do lists. And finally there’s the cook-it-before-we-go-so-I-don’t-spend-our-whole-vacation-in-the-kitchen-list. It’s pretty important. That’s the list that insures my being able to lay in the …
This is a test. Sugar Dish Me is conducting a test of the Emergency Broadcast System. Remember this is only a test. I am out of the kitchen for the next day or so. Please CLICK HERE to find out why. In my short absence I would like to contribute this really simple recipe for …
When my boys were little bitty there were a bazillion things we did together, no shortage of games we played. They were content to color with me for hours and make a mess with the finger paints. I can remember Andrew crawling through the house with all his might and laughing hysterically at me …
