Pssst.. wanna know a secret? I love cake. Like.. I really, really, really love cake. Having sampled a countless number of them (I have worked in the wedding industry for over 7 years, you know) in my lifetime, I admit to being a bit of a snob about texture and flavor. To me, a… read more »
On Saturday, We had a Brown(e) meet-up at the International Biscuit Festival in downtown Knoxville. Situated alongside the weekly Farmer’s Market on Market Square, it was an explosion of local businesses.. anything from fresh produce, jams & jellies, flours and mixes, honey, and of course… biscuits. A plethora of businesses piled onto Market St (temporarily… read more »

The other day I posed a question: what is the difference between a cupcake and a muffin? This is one of those muffins that can tow the line. There’s no oil, nuts, or dried fruit in the batter. Heck, they are even full of chocolate chips! The texture is a bit fluffier than a hearty… read more »
