Cookbooks and Cookies

January 13, 2012 by Cara

I’m currently having a love affair with my cookbooks. In fact, since Greg has been gone, I have a pile cozily lying next to me on my bed. I even just bought a professional pastry chef book this week. No seriously. This book is no joke. Like 4″ thick no joke. It lies in Greg’s spot for the…

Gluten-free Vegan Sugar-Coated Donuts

January 9, 2012 by Cara

Gluten-Free Vegan Sugar-Coated Donuts Last night, I was caught watching the OWN station on television. I don’t usually make a habit of it typically but there was something about the Jane Fonda interview that rapidly caught my attention. It touched my heart deeply, partly because I empathized a lot of what she was saying. But the thing that she said that…

Gluten-free Wheat Thins

January 2, 2012 by Cara

The funny thing about negativity is the ones who usually fluently speak this language are the ones who don’t even try, yet still feel as if they are entitled to criticize those who do.  I’m finding that it’s impossible to live a life, striving towards your goals, without encountering negativity. At some point, someone’s not going…

Grandma is sitting this one out on New Year’s…

December 28, 2011 by Cara

This is the funny thing about holidays that require me to stay up into the wee hours of the night: I usually don’t celebrate them. (thankfully that only makes 1 holiday missed for the year) You see friends, I am what you call a “grandma”– no offense to the real grandmas out there. It’s just that I am…

Let us raise our glasses.

December 27, 2011 by Cara

Hi, my friends! I hope that you all had a very merry holiday season. I missed you all so much in these past few days– it’s so good to be back. I had a really lovely, long holiday weekend full of: biking riding along the beach, sunbathing on the front porch, wine drinking, and hanging…

All I want for Christmas is new self-esteem (and french toast).

December 21, 2011 by Cara

Virtual Advent Calendar: Being creative doesn’t mean that you need to go to extremes to impress people. Sometimes all it takes is to see things from a different perspective and to present it to someone from a new angle. That is the secret to creativity. Nothing fancy or far off concepts to understand. It has taken…

Santa Claus is coming to town (on a plate)

December 20, 2011 by Cara

F&B Virtual Advent Calendar countdown: For me, it’s difficult to remember the day my parents sat me down to tell me that Santa doesn’t exist. Maybe it is somewhere deep down in the part of my brain labeled: “Cara’s Suppressed Childhood Memory Bank.” It’s quite possible that the trauma of such news sent me into a tizzy that I…
