Never the same dish twice
Guess what? My blog turns one today – and this will be the 137th recipe I’ve shared with you! It’s pretty hard for me to believe considering I launched it on a whim (with technical support from my husband) and questioned if I had the energy or interest to keep it up and running. But I’m still here – with my sidekick Rookie, to boot!

A girl can’t live on cranola alone. Enter honey peanut butter popcorn – my new snack of choice. It’s sweet, slightly sticky and sinfully delicious. Give me a cup or three and I’m in heaven….
December is shaping up to be an unexpectedly busy month. Typically, this is the time of year I get a jump on my to-do list at work and take a few days off to relax and recharge. Meetings, conference calls and deadlines prevented me from doing either. I can’t believe Christmas is two weeks away – I haven’t even thought about what to give family and friends….
While we’re well into November, higher temperatures linger in the Bay Area. But that hasn’t stopped me from going into full fall mode in the kitchen.

If you tried and liked my brown sugar pull-apart bread, like Cupcakes and Cashmere’s Emily Schuman, and even if you didn’t, you should take this recipe for a spin. It’s similar in style but savory instead of sweet, and delicious as an afternoon or happy hour treat. I am almost positive you will like love it….
