Home is comforting —but the new sights we saw, friends we made and tastes we experienced the last couple of weeks shine brightly for us! While, we typically share the latest dish cooking in one of our kitchens—today, we want to share two exciting culinary treats that just happened to come one right after the other. [Read more…]
Hot Cross Buns
One of the main reasons that I absolutely adore my career is the fact that food is tied in with so many memories of our lives. Each of us can remember a time or event, or suddenly a cherished picture of days gone pops into our thoughts, by simply smelling or enjoying a food tradition. Our family recipe box is laced with so many recipes that evoke traditions. I want to share with you our traditional Easter breakfast, one that we have celebrated for decades. Easter breakfast needs to be easy because there is so much activity that morning–Easter baskets to adore, eggs to fetch and of course, arriving at church early so our daughter can sing in the youth choir. Breakfast has to be fast and special on this day. We celebrate with hard cooked,dyed Easter eggs and Hot Cross Buns. I make the Hot Cross Buns a day ahead and voila! Breakfast is served, no hassles and such fun. [Read more…]
Lemon Velvet Cake Recipe
As I write this, ice pellets are hitting the windowpane and collecting on dry brown leaves—but those leaves are encircling new, green daffodil shoots. Spring is struggling in our part of the Midwest. For me, it is time to chase away the winter doldrums and this Lemon Velvet Cake is just the dessert to do that. [Read more…]
Housewares Show
Whew! We have just returned from the National Housewares Show in Chicago and what an experience. Babycakes® are still center stage and very much the belle of the show. We had a grand time showing Micky Mouse® waffles, Babycakes cupcakes, Babycakes cake pops and Babycakes donuts. [Read more…]
Texas Style Soup Recipe
Texas Style Soup, cooked in your slow cooker, is the perfect dish to make today. With so much of the country, (us included,) in the grips of major snowstorms, we could not resist the opportunity to share this “pantry-friendly” recipe on KSHB Kansas City Live today. It was such a fun show and in case you missed it, you can watch it now!
Do you always get the best flavor from the dishes you prepare in the slow cooker? We can help you and there is still time to register for our next cooking class, Slow Cooker Secrets that Make Sensational Suppers. It will be March 25, 2013 at the Culinary Center of Kansas City. We have lots of tips and new recipes to share with you in the class. Register now, so you don’t miss out.
We are thrilled to announce that we are sending a special gift to two of our blog friends. Congratulations to Kristi O’Neal of Olathe, KS and Monique Faros of Leawood, KS. They are both winners as they use their slow cooker and they won the books at a contest we held at our slow cooker workshop. Soon they will each receive a copy of our newest slow cooker cookbook, Triple Slow Cooker Entertaining, as well as two of our other books!
This soup really is one of our favorites and, finally for those of you at the slow cooker workshop a couple weeks ago, here is the recipe you have been waiting for. Our families love it and we bet yours will, too! [Read more…]
