Monthly Archives: January 2011 If you haven’t already noticed, I am a HUGE football fan and therefore incredibly excited for this weekend’s Super Bowl. In honor of the upcoming match up between the Green Bay Packers and Pittsburgh Steelers, I have decided to have a Souper Bowl. Like football, I also love soup. I thought this play on words…
 Happy National Blueberry Pancake Day! Yes, January 28th is National Blueberry Pancake Day! I am sure many of you were unaware of that fact ( I wasn’t until I looked up National Food Days). In honor of this, I decided there was only one way to celebrate….
 A few weeks ago, I talked about how pie is the new cupcake. I enjoy both pie and cupcakes, so I will continue to eat both of them. On the other hand, my mom prefers pie. She was never really impressed by the cupcake craze and has been telling me for a while that pie…
 As most people do, I set goals for my self at the beginning of the year. These may be new things that I want to try, something I want to achieve or a variety of other things. Over the last few days, I was able to cross two of these goals off of my list….
 In continuing with my beer bread adventure, I decided to step even further out of the box from the typical beer bread. Beer bread french toast was delicious, but I was curious to know if this beer,sugar, and flour combination would work with other flours? Would cornmeal work? Well there was only one way to…
 Last week I introduced my new obsession, beer bread. I showed you the recipe for your standard bread and a Cranberry Orange Witbier Bread. This combination was delicious, but I was curious what would happen if I went to the dark side of the beer. If I was dealing with the force then this might…
 This post is 365 days in the making. One year ago yesterday, I started Taylor Takes a Taste. Most people do a yearly recap around January 1st, so I realize I am a little late. Like companies who’s fiscal year begins and ends in June, the Taylor Takes a Taste year begins and ends on…
 Recently, I rediscovered one of the easiest, cheapest, and most delicious baked goods I have ever consumed. I bet you have the ingredients for it in your pantry right now. I am of course referring to the humble and often forgotten, BEER BREAD! Yes believe it or not there are many uses for beer other…
 For those of you living on the East Coast, you have undoubtedly noticed the second winter storm of the season passed through this week. Here in Charlotte, we received a few inches of snow and plenty of ice. Schools have been closed for the last three days with many businesses closed as well. This is…
 Cupcakes or Pie? I say both, but more on that later. First I am going to finish up what I ate while in Berkeley. Hint.. It involved both cupcakes and pie.
 I have been meaning to finish the posts from my Berkley trip earlier this year, and I am just not getting around to it. So here it goes. Previously I had shared with you my trip to Ici, the farmer’s market, Cafe Intermezzo, and Cha-Am. I will now bring you the three remaining places I…
 Well I am now on stage 5 (Depression and Sorrow) of the 7 stages of grief. After watching my badgers lose to TCU, lets just say it wasn’t the way I wanted to stat out the year. Unfortunately, I was hoping that my first post of the year would be with a much different tone,…
