Oh, peanut butter. I never realized how much I relied on this super food until I moved to England, where it’s a more recent phenomenon, and very hard to find in its “American” version. I remember having to buy imported Skippy, a brand I’d never bought when I lived in the States. I also remember …

You’re looking at that tree, and you’re thinking, “Gee, Amber, that doesn’t look like any kind of luck.” When Hurricane Irene took the East Coast (forgive me) by storm last August, we really thought we’d made it through the worst of it unscathed. The storm’s beginnings were on Friday, and the island of Manhattan was …
Today we’re doing something a little differently here on B&B, simply because I LOVE Leap Day. A whole extra 24 hours? All year long we wish for more time. Well, people, THIS is it! If you follow along here regularly, you know that I am a Keurig K-Cup ambassador, and the official recipe developer for …
Puxatawney Phil may have predicted six more weeks of Winter, but down here in South Texas, it’s been bordering on shorts weather for a few weeks. Just yesterday my sister, niece and I went for a burrito, and actually considered sitting outside to eat them! For someone who has spent the last six years in …
I may be in the minority here, but I love hot chocolate any time of year. There’s just something so alluring about that drinkable chocolate goodness.. I can’t help myself! I think maybe my Keurig may have something to do with this. Ever since we first got our Keurig, I’ve been a huge fan of …
As I’ve gotten older (I’m not going to say grown up, because, well, I haven’t), I’ve come to appreciate the beauty of being one of the first people up on a holiday morning. The quiet before the storm on Thanksgiving, or being one of the first people to see the wonder and joy on my …
Butter. I love butter. I’ve made my own, I’ve bought every kind known to man in at least two different countries, and for my money, I always go back to Kerrygold. No one’s asked me to say that, and it’s not going to help my case for this recipe contest I’m attempting to win – …
Today marks the 3rd recipe I’ve created for Green Mountain Coffee’s blog, Green Mountain Cafe. As I sit here sipping my first cup of Pumpkin Spice (for the day, not the year – shoot, I’ve been drinking this stuff since it hit shelves August 15th!), I can’t help thinking how excited I am for you …
For the past four years, I’ve been harboring a not-so-secret addiction: my Keurig. If you know me in person, or follow me on Twitter at all, you already know my deep and unabashed love for all things Keurig and Green Mountain Coffee. I’ve talked about them so much and so often that at a recent …
Photo courtesy of Cheese.. Please! Last year, our good friend John mentioned to me that he’d noticed a “cheese and British stuff” shop would be opening in his town of Cranford, not far from where we live. John was our contractor, and while he worked on our kitchen, he and I would talk all day …
