I generally don’t go all out for breakfast in our home.  I did make Pecan Sticky Buns and Banana Bread last week, but that’s unusual.  It’s every man for himself for that meal, and usually for me that means cereal or toast.

At the BlogEats Conference the Kraft Innovation Kitchen served up a number of dishes for us, using their product lines

So this is the marvelous dessert we got treated to on the evening of our arrival for the BlogEats Conference put on by Kraft Foods.

One of my favorite German dishes is Sauerkraut with Pork Hocks (my mom is a master at that!), and while I know many eat it on brats – who knew there were so many other things to do with sauerkraut?
So Krrrrisp Kraut wanted to see what I could do with a bag of sauerkraut and using their recipe inspiration of Sauerkraut Brownies, I made an Oktoberfest Brownie Trifle

Here’s the dessert we got to see being made from the Pastry Chef aboard the Disney Wonder.  These would make an awesome brunch dish as well!

One of the neat things on sea days that Disney Cruise Line offers is a series of demonstrations called “Art of Entertaining”.  On our Alaskan cruise my mom and I attended three of these where some of the head chefs on the ship showed us how to make main courses, appetizers and desserts and then we got to taste them!

While I was in Alaska – I got the news about the Folgers “What’s Brewing?” event that is happening on Facebook.  I could have used a couple of those new products while I was away…

We are super healthy around here, from what we eat to how we live, so I’ve never a big fan of traditional potato salads that include mayo or heavy dairy products (too fattening and not everyone can eat them).

When it’s hot outside, cooking hot meals can feel like a chore – so it’s no wonder summer is the most popular season for salads. The thing is, if you’re like me, you often find yourself tossing the same ingredients together over and over again.

Back in June we did some science experiments for homeschooling and for one of them I needed some baby food jars.  With no babies in the house, I went out and bought six jars of baby food, just for the jars…

I actually thought the flavors out with some premise that I “might” actually use the baby food in something, and one of the varieties I purchased was mango.

Since it is National Ice Cream Day, I figured I needed to get an ice cream recipe up!  You certainly don’t need to use strawberry ice cream (although I recommend Breyer’s Fat Free Strawberry to save a few calories if you do decide to use it).
