Snickerdoodle Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting

These cute little guys are the crowd favorite. This super moist (vegan) vanilla cake with a dash of cinnamon goes beautifully with a lightly tart cream cheese frosting. 

No one has ever said "no" to a snickerdoodle cupcake. No one. 

Penne alla Vodka with Italian Sausage

Okay okay, so what if this isn't an authentic Italian dish?

I admit I don't know squat about real Italian food, but I do know that my bowl was licked clean after inhaling two bowlfuls of this yummy pasta.

Soft Bread Bowls

Heavenly soft texture. Lightly crisp crust. Subtle sweetness. Perfect soup companion.

Need I say more?

This soup is not only delicious and comforting, but it's also magical. This soup can bring immediate happiness. I like that in a soup.

Orange Rolls with Sugar Glaze

Crisp Gingersnaps

Please excuse my lack of modesty, but these are some pretty perfect lookin' gingersnaps.I made them for Christmas dessert to accompany some vanilla ice cream and salted caramel sauce. And in 10 hours, I will see how that turns out.

Sour Cream-Chicken Mini Casseroles

Please excuse the name of this post. They're basically enchiladas in a bowl, but "Sour Cream-Chicken Enchiladas in a Bowl" sounded too weird to me.

With that said, you should definitely make these, in a bowl, in a casserole dish, in a whatever. They are delicious.

French Bread

I have fond  memories of sitting in a shopping cart, chowing down on a hot, fresh loaf of French bread while my mom pushed me around the grocery store.

Yellow Chicken Curry

Curry can only be considered delicious if it meets my three standards. First and foremost, it must have a well-spiced, flavorful broth filled with tender meat and delicate potatoes that soak up all that yumminess.


I consider this curry absolutely delicious.

Broccoli-Cheese Soup

I love soups, any and all soups. I especially like making soup on a cold night, but here in Austin, I'll just have to settle for a delicious bowl of soup, sans the cool weather.

Slow-Cooker Chicken Tikka Masala

I love idea of "slow-cooker" meals. I really really do. I mean, what's better than coming home to a cooked meal, ready to just be plated?

I would describe this meal as delicious and easy. Oh and fresh and colorful and light and well, can I say delicious again?

Oven-Baked Baby Back Ribs

Look at those juicy ribs, just look at them! They were made inside of my oven and believe me, the meat slipped right off the bone without any trouble at all. Yum.
