Scrumptious from Scratch

When I first started dating my now fiance three and a half years ago, one of our favorite things to do together was make late-night brownies and watch movies.

We both have a pretty good sweet tooth (mine being a little bit sweeter with a penchant for chocolate), and I love remembering those wonderful nights of eating warm, gooey brownies and the excitement of getting to know each other.

Follow Friday

As i sit here quickly eating a pimento cheese sandwich before I head out the door, I'm thinking of how thankful I am for other's food blogs.

I would have to say one of my favorite hobbies is finding and following food blogs. They inspire me to cook better and more often and to be more adventurous with ingredients. Also, they show me how much I have to learn about food photography and ways to present food in a creative way.

For this follow Friday, I have got a few fantastically, mouth-watering and beautifully photographed food blogs for you to check out!

My recent food adventures

Wow. It's been a few weeks since I have updated. My apologies.

Life has been busy, I haven't cooked in awhile and I just got over the stomach flu.

Anyway, I have had some delicious meals over the past few weeks. So, here's what's been going on in my culinary world.

I made ANOTHER bundt cake...I'm seeing a pattern here! Instead of a fruit-filled cake, I changed it to chocolate chip to please the chocolate lovers over at the Flack home, my in-laws.

Soup there it is!

Justin Timberlake's Homelessville skit is one of my favorites and is a great play on words for soup songs. Sorry the video is recorded. It's the best I could find.

Let me see that minestrone!

Anyway, even though the weather hasn't really been wintery or cold around here (right now, it's 65 degrees), I have been in the mood for soup.

It's warm, comforting and usually pretty good for you and filled with veggies.
