Baked Goods both Healthy and not so much
Some time ago I posted on my Aunt’s website (ktgreendesign.com), a cookie that has all of the ingredients that help fend off cancer. It was from one of my favorite food sites, King Arthur Flour, and it was called the ‘Take-10 Super Cookie’. As of late, I’ve been only posting the most important things going […] Read more…
Who wants cake for breakfast?! ME !!! Remember the old Cosby routine where he justifies feeding his kids chocolate cake for breakfast because it contains everything you’d have for breakfast anyway… maybe assembled a bit differently. “Dad is great,…gives us chocolate cake…” I don’t care who you are, that’s some funny stuff right there. This […] Read more…
The other night we had a dinner guest over. Because her visit was a bit of a surprise, and she’s not exactly new to chez Beal, I didn’t feel bad about serving leftovers. No, I’m not talking about the evening where we get out all of those bits of edibles that I can’t toss, but […] Read more…
Caviar Cookies…What a revolting thought! No, no wait – this is a bit of April Fools at the Holidays. This time of year I spend an inordinate amount of time (and money) at one of my favorite places, Williams-Sonoma. Every year Chuck and his band of merry-men collect tons of odd ball and hard to […] Read more…

Ok, my Pinterest devotees, you’ve seen them and gone all ‘Oooo, and Ahhhh’ yes, it’s the ombre cake. This trick is remarkably easy to do. Most will simply use varying food colors in white cake mix. Now, you know I can’t bother to blog something so easy. Let’s take it up a notch, shall we. […] Read more…
Last week we had a lovely dinner with a friend and we served up one of our ‘house specials’, which if you know us isn’t a big deal. Dessert, on the other hand, I can make a big deal over. Carrot Cake, Brownie Pudding, Pumpkin Roll,…there’s no telling what I’ll pull out. This evening though […] Read more…
This is a fun one, maybe not that healthy though. Or, maybe it is. Ok, maybe it’s just not as UN-healthy as it could be. After all potatoes + sour cream = thickened waistlines! Nahhhh – this is food fun. There’s a million recipes for these sliced an baked potatoes. Thanks to a small Food […] Read more…
Today is the first day of Fall. No, you wouldn’t know it here – 90deg and raining. I recognize it by the weather reports handed out by my husband proclaiming how cold it is in ND, and that there’s “…snow out West,….”. Here’s, it’s still hot and probably will be past Halloween.
