What I like about bread pudding, in addition to being torn between eating it and rubbing it all over my husband, is this: I don’t have to be exact with my measurements. I can slap it together. While I drink. It doesn’t get any better than that for a busy mom who likes to cook.
Say Hello to My Little Friend: the Dutch Oven

Our Entertaining Lives
I love planning parties, but always feel an urge to leave once the food is cooked and the guests start to arrive. I have the heart and soul of a caterer. I like big parties because I can get lost in them. I like to plan the meal, cook the meal, present the meal, and then disappear.
