As a young girl growing up in Salinas, Calif., one of my favorite things to do was visit the John Steinbeck House. Not only is it the residence (and birthplace – yes, he was born in the house) of one of our country’s greatest writers, but it’s also a delightful restaurant as well. Open...

Peach and Vanilla Mini Pies!It's been awhile since I've shared a recipe with you all and I've been reading some cooking themed books lately (I reviewed one yesterday and an audio book review will be coming up later on) and it's put me in the mood! Noth...

The food blogging community is nothing like I have ever experienced before in my life.  A warm, supportive group of people that understand how to take care of their own.  A few days ago, food blogger Jennifer Perillo of In Jennie’s Kitchen lost her husband to a sudden heart attack.  I have never met...

Holy Hannah!  I made PIE! As I mentioned in my last post, there is an internet-wide Pie Party going on today.  The brainchild of Shauna from Gluten Free Girl and Garrett of Vanilla Garlic, this fun virtual party celebrates all things pie - AN...

When I heard about the Pie Party being organized online by Shauna of Gluten-Free Girl and her friends, I knew I had to participate. I grew up eating pie, although I admit I didn’t appreciate it as much as I should have then. Now, I’ve come to realize that my mother makes the flakiest...

There's a pie party on the internets today!  I did my part by baking several cherry pies for my extended family at our family reunion in Bandon, Oregon this weekend.  My aunt Linda and her friend Eddie live near a cherry orchard in Washington and brought gallons of cherries with them.  I figured we...
