I would like to introduce you to a sweet new food blog.  This one is a little different, it’s the first I’ve seen dedicated completely and totally to ice cream.  The blog is full of great stories and thoughts along with an insiders glimpse into the whole ice cream making process at Turkey Hill Dairy.  […]

Holiday Sweetness From Emeril


I’m not really a fan of Emeril Lagassse - I don’t love him or hate him.  I’m pretty much indifferent, but I do love the Food Network.  And, in my search for some new and unique holiday recipes I found one of Emeril’s in the FoodNetwork.com archives.  Miss Hilda’s Popcorn Cake caught my eye immediately.  […]

Cranking Out The Candy Canes


With Christmas now officially one month away I’m already on a sugar high from the seasonal candy.  I would imagine I’m not the only person feeling the buzz from eating all the festive candy that sparks my interest, especially considering how many candy canes the Spangler Candy Co. is making already.  The company, which also […]

Hershey Recalls Canadian Candies

Elvis Inspired Reese’s Cups


I seriously thought someone was trying to be funny when I read that Hershey has just introduced a limited edition Elvis Presley Reese’s Cup.  There is no mention of the limited edition Reese’s Cups on Hershey’s website, but I read about the Elvis inspired cups at JunkFoodBlog.  The blog gives no information on where the candy is sold, just that it […]

I'm a self-professed foodie, born and raised in Charlotte, North Carolina. And for as long as I can remember, I have loved to cook. I can remember being a young girl, too small to actually cook, but dying to help in the kitchen. To this day, I vividly remember spending hours in the kitchen acting out my own cooking show, or standing in a chair so I could reach the mixer while helping make our family's traditional holiday desserts.

When I'm not in the kitchen cooking or baking up a storm, I'm likely updating my blog <a href="http://culinarilyobsessed.blogspot.com/">Culinarily Obsessed</a>, which chronicles my struggles and successes in the kitchen
