It’s Groundhog Day…again. Sure…it’s groundhog day, and we all know what that means. It’s the one magical day each year that we all collectively lose our minds and look to a fortune telling rodent for answers. We can chalk this up to the fact that being cooped up indoors may have started to adversely effect our mental capacity, but instead of seeking help for our addiction to psychic rodent prognostication we can just embrace the insanity and celebrate it for all of its goofy silliness! What better way to start your Groundhog Day with with a nice hearty breakfast in the shape of today’s…

Benedictine Spread Recipe This Kentucky Derby staple was brand new to us, and it received rave reviews from all in attendance at our Kentucky Derby Soiree! I didn’t take any pictures of the process of making the spread or the canapes, but I’ll do my best to describe it all! The ingredients were just the basics: 1 block of Cream Cheese 1/4 cup of Sour Cream 1 whole Cucumber, finely grated 1/4 of a White Onion, finely minced The key to this recipe was the draining of the excess moisture from the Cucumber and the onion. The way we accomplished this was by…

Welcome Springtime!I am always up for a cupcake party, and the First Day of Spring is a perfect excuse for one!We had intended to make these cupcakes as a St Patrick’s Day treat — sort of an end-of -the-rainbow pot-of-gold Leprechaun thing — but the time got away from us and we didn’t make that deadline.Instead these cupcakes are in celebration of the first day of Spring (even if it does look like Springtime on the North Pole right now outside).They are Key Lime cake with a cloud of Vanilla frosting swirled high and a candy rainbow on top.The taste is light and…

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Top ‘O the mornin’ to ya!Here’s hoping that you don’t get pinched, and that you find your pot of gold!This year we pulled it all together for a St. Patrick’s Day feast! We kicked around lots of ideas for St. Patrick’s dinner that would be outside the box of the traditional corned beef and cabbage, but the old standard came back by popular demand.I had a hard time convincing Peggo that we should try corned beef one more time before giving up on this St. Patrick’s day staple. A sale on corned beef and the fact that…

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! With an Irish name like Hickey, people kind of expect us to celebrate good ole St. Patty’s Day. After discovering that the ‘traditional’ St. Patrick’s Day dinner of Corned Beef and Cabbage may NOT even be a traditional Irish dish, we decided to explore the alternatives.

This is our biggest Fat Tuesday/Mardi Gras celebration yet! Though in all fairness, the most we did to celebrate in the past was eat on Mardi Gras paper plates! This year, aside from the decorating, and the King Cake and watching Disney’s The Princess and the Frog (set in New Orleans and gorgeous!) we also had a yummy Fat Tuesday dinner! Peggo made AMAZING Monte Cristo sandwiches, and we all loved them! She followed the recipe from the Blue Bayou restaurant in New Orleans Square in Disneyland (recipe below) and it was seriously dee-lish! Though I wasn’t able to capture…
