One of my all time  favorite desserts is this Texas Sheet Cake I posted a couple of weeks ago.  Seriously YUMMY!  Well, I got wind of a recipe for a white Texas Sheet Cake and had to try it out.  My my my--this cake is DIVINE!  Moist and buttery with a hint of almond in the frosting.  It really was equally fantastic to the popular chocolate version.  I love that it is so easy to make, comes

Perfect Pumpkin Bread 3 Ways

I can feel Fall in the air, even here in Tennessee and I am so excited.  The warm humid air is giving way to light cool breezes , and let me tell you, that is thrilling after a long hot summer in the South.  Although I love our summers spent poolside, I am oh-so ready for Fall!    There is something about the change of seasons that is good for the soul, don't you think?   I may be hurrying it

Raspberry Butter

Raspberry Buitter

My sister brought to my attention that I have never posted my raspberry butter recipe.  I am glad she pointed that out, because it really is so good and should definitely be on The Sisters Cafe where we collect our favorite recipes! I once had this in the Carriage House restaurant in Salt Lake City and I thought I had died and gone to heaven.  Freshly

Elote: Grilled Mexican Street Corn

September 6, 2012 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + 16 Comments

Elote: Grilled Mexican Street Corn... is my new love!  Elote is a common street vendor food in Mexico, which I have sadly missed in my own forrays into Mexico. But you better believe I am going to have my eyes peeled for it the next time I am down south.  I asked some of my Mexican friends about it, and they all rolled their eyes up in ecstasy describing it!  Sweet grilled corn, slathered with

Waffles of Insane Greatness

Have I mentioned that we really LOVE waffles at my house?  They are at top of the list of favorite foods right up there with chocolate chip cookies.  I think it is because we love them so much that I get sucked in by claims of' the 'best recipe ever'  and I just can't help but try them out now and again. Oh and there are so many lovely varieties to match the season, the ingredients you have on

Did you know Julia Child's 100th birthday would have been yesterday? Such an amazing woman deserves to be remembered on her birthday, especially her 100th birthday.  So in honor of Julia, I whipped up Julia Child's Favorite Brownies recipe last night.  These brownies require some extra work, but in case you are waffling about whether they are worth the effort.... they are.  Definitely.  Julia's

Tribute to my sweet Mom

I developed my love of cooking at an early age “helping” my Mom bake cookies, make dinner, and knead bread. She had quite the well of patience! She is the one that taught me about measurements, leavening agents, egg-washes, the basic white sauce, and numerous other mysteries of the kitchen!  I cherish the memories I have of learning to cook at her side. Thank you Mom! You instilled in me a respect for work as well as a joy in creating delicious things. I love you! xoxo
