Recipe: Waffles Two Ways

~ Harper220

Hello from Havana!  Sorry to have to miss an opportunity for another Woman Crush Wednesday cooking tutorial.  However, Hubby is a juror at a film festival here in Cuba.  Specifically the Festival International Del Nuevo Cine Latino Americano.  We were lucky to have been in Venice, Italy for the film festival there this summer, which you can read about here.  And this one is shaping up to be pretty amazing too.  I will share a blog post as soon as possible. Until then, I have a little treat for you!  Continue reading →

Recipe: Homemade Foodie Christmas Gifts

~ Harper220

Since I am sicker than a dog today, I am going to have to miss my fav Woman Crush Wednesday series.  Which makes me sad as a bird with no wings!  But since I can’t breathe or swallow (two things I kind of need to be able to do for a cooking tutorial) I figured I’d better take a pass this week.  Stella (who is my dog and who IS healthy) is delighted!  Since she hates Wednesdays and all the loud music and bad singing, she is happy as a clam right now! Geez, I just realized I’m using lots of animal similes.  Anyway, I decided to bring you and me some good cheer….in the form of a new recipe and a round up of some homemade foodie gifts Continue reading →

Pumpkin Recipe Roundup!

~ Harper220

My LOVE of all things pumpkin is well documented. I know I am not alone. I just read a blog post titled 20 Signs Your Pumpkin Addiction is Out of Control!  It actually makes me look tame!  In fact, while I have posted pumpkin recipes on here before, this is the first time I have ever put all ten of my fav pumpkin recipes together on one post. My little Halloween treat for you!  I don’t need to say much else, because, well, I just want to gaze at the photos and drool!  And I hope your taste buds get tantalized too! Continue reading →

Wednesday, well hello beautiful friend!  And thanks to all of you for joining me as I shower another female chef with some love and admiration!

I will be recreating a recipe by the honoree live on Snapchat (username blissbakery) if you’d like to watch.  It is going to be a good one because the 69th WCW recipient is the incredible Nancy Silverton!

Recipe: Monday Sunshine Lemon Lavender Loaf

~ Harper220 ~ 1 Comment

As I have mentioned on here before, I am amused when I hear people complain about Mondays.  I think they are great. Fresh start to the week and all.  But it does help set things straight when you take some tasty homebaked treats to work to share with your coworkers. It brings a bit of sunshine into a grey day when folks are still wishing they were in their pjs. This treat, however, isn’t an ordinary one. It is a lemony loaf with a touch of lavender. You know that yummy smelling stuff in your bubblebath? Well, this is edible lavender.  So you can eat this treat and feel like you’re still chilling in the weekend spa! Continue reading →
