I have been craving something sweet, but Gary asked that I not buy anything at the bakery. So I didn’t, I made something. This recipe first appeared on my Facebook feed.

The Munch is all about the things I make, bake, create and cook. Sometimes it is a simple little thing and other times a complete meal. If it’s worth making it is worth sharing.
Gary is out of town this weekend at a conference. I have no dogs to watch over, so it is just me on a Friday night and it’s time for dinner. Actually, I came to this realization early Friday morning and I thought…”This will be a great day for that delicious Peruvian-style Chicken with Tangy Green Sauce and Salad.” I say that because this is a recipe that uses a whole roasting chicken with skin and bones. Gary likes his chicken without bones or skin so this was the perfect dish since he is not here. So I called a…

I was shooting a wedding a couple weeks ago and along with the accompaniments for the salad station was a bowl of what looked like red seedless grapes that lost its luster. So I popped one in my mouth and was overcome by pure delight. Roasted grapes – who knew! I knew it was a grape but the flavor is more intense.

When my youngest sister announced she was having a Mexican dinner party, I immediately volunteered to make barbacoa. Gary does not eat beef so this is my opportunity so make a dish that I love! I know you must think that we eat a lot of tacos based on my posts, but that is not the case. It’s just that my sister was having this party. What to do, what to do! FYI: I found the recipe on my neighbor Natalie’s highly successful women’s fashion blog designer bags and dirty diapers. She found it on Gimme Some Oven. Slow Cooker…

Oh, what a Monday!. I shot a morning wedding yesterday. The couple was super nice, very laid back and a real joy to work for, but dang that threw off my Sunday. Surprise… I am a night owl! Midnight is usually the earliest that I go to bed. What does that mean to you morning people? It means there is only one- “6” in each day and it is not 6:00 am. But yesterday required a 6am alarm and be out of the house by 7:00 am. It was tough as I did not have time to consume my…

Upon our arrival in Charleston we discovered that there were a couple Indian restaurants that were decent but after living in Chicago that had a huge and thriving Indian food scene (I miss you Devon Ave.), decent just did not cut it. Fortunately we have friends that loved to cook Indian. One of our friends used to live in Sri Lanka and she really got this all going. While the group is transitioned my sister’s and I still bring a group together a couple times a year. I am always assigned an appetizer and the first time I made…
