Time for this week's Good Eats Friday. When I was pregnant with my first daughter I ate poutine five days a week for nine months. Not.Even.Kidding. There was a chip truck right outside my work and that poutine called to me everyday and I went with the whole "if I'm getting fat, I'm going down happy" philosophy. Then 45 pounds later I had my bouncing baby girl and backed off the poutine. I still crave it though and this recipe from Nicole at Domesticated Mama makes me drool a little, …

I can never leave him. Sly like a fox that guy. Recipe for Tortillas 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour; more for kneading and rolling 1 tsp. table …
Raspberry Scones
I use the word "easy" in a lot of my recipes because I believe that cooking/baking should be just that. Most of us don't have the time for fussy.
