A Great Blog to Check Out—A Cooking Life, by Chef Paige

Photo courtesy of Paige Vandegrift, check out the link to her post for more photos!

I’ve had the pleasure (Thanks a million, Kevin!) of being in Kansas this week, just as a little getaway without the family (because I believe every mom should get to do this).  I’m visiting friends that I’ve dearly missed since we moved last summer and one of the highlights of the trip has been taking another cooking class from the wonderful, Chef Paige.  Six friends and I were able to make it to the class (missed you, Ellen!) and it was a joy to be there with so many and to enjoy Paige and her expertise and delicious food once again.  How I’ve missed that!

Today happens to mark one year since Paige started a blog.  She posted a yummy looking cake today made with ground pistachios with a chocolate frosting on top.  It looks really good and perfect for St. Patrick’s Day, since it’s green from the pistachios.  Check out her post and her blog.  It is always a pleasure to read her posts, especially since I don’t live in Kansas anymore and don’t get to go to her classes.  She mentions in her post thanks to me for encouraging her to start her blog and whether I really feel like I did anything or not, I’m really glad she did and can’t wait to keep reading along.  Thanks, Paige.  I’ve learned more than you know from your classes, your blog, and you!

Gorgeous cake. Pistachios are my fave nuts, and they pair beautifully with chocolate.
