Spiced Almond Steamer

January 21, 2012

Not everything requires a bowl, a mixer, whisk, and measuring spoons. Sometimes the most delicious comforts come out of milk, spice, and heat. I’ve been keeping it pretty simple in the kitchen lately.  You know… trying to treat my body right, and such.  I’m also trying to stay far far away from the Winter cold [...]

Let’s Make Orange Pomanders!

December 8, 2011

I can cook.  I mean… I can really cook.  I can walk around in a pair of heels without looking like a weirdo…. and I know how to apply lip liner if the occasion requires. I am not, however, a domestic goddess.  Not at all.  Nope. I’m not one of those ladies who has Christmas [...]

Is it time for Spice?

October 9, 2008

What is going on in the world?  Is Al Gore messing with the global temperature again?  We’re sneaking into mid October and here I am in Los Angeles trying to talk myself out of using my air conditioner.  It’s as hot here as it was in July.  We’re talking 90′s people.  90′s!  That’s just not [...]

Cinnamon Rolls- Sugar and Spice

March 6, 2008

I have a confession to make.  It’s about cinnamon rolls.  I love these gooey little treats to pieces, but I only eat the center. That’s it, just the center coil.  Why?  That’s where all the goodness is!  I see the rest of the cinnamon roll as protection for the precious, beyond delicious center.  I always [...]
