Today is a special day for a couple of different reasons. For one, it’s Shrove Tuesday, meaning it’s a day for self-reflection, examination, and confession. Secondly, it’s my dear hub’s birthday, and boy, is he worth celebrating. This morning we enjoyed banana pancakes together because they’re his favorite, and because it’s Fat Tuesday, and I will […]
MoreI first spotted this recipe about a month ago when my December issue of Bon Appetite came in the mail. As a sucker for anything cooked with bourbon, I immediately dog-eared the page and made plans to return to the recipe as soon as possible. I had never made homemade caramels before, but knew I […]
MoreThe weather was unseasonably cool here last week. With highs only reaching 80 and nightly lows dropping into the 50’s, the weather had me craving winter squashes and toasty drinks. As much as I love the fall, and as happy as I was about the weather, I was feeling a bit cheated. It has been […]
MoreI’ve had a hard time writing this week. It’s not that I haven’t had things to write about, it’s that I haven’t been sure how to transition from my last post. My writing is typically pretty light and happy, but because of recent events, things have been a bit heavier here at The Daily Doss. […]

I wasn’t introduced to this delectable dessert until Jacob and I started dating. His mom got the recipe while in college and it has been a family favorite ever since. We eat […]
More//UPDATE// 1/8// With no school, no work, public transportation closed, and a ban on driving in effect, Jacob and I are enjoying our first blizzard warm and cozy at home. After a morning full of homework for the hubs, and cleaning for me, this snowy day at home left me hankering for a sweet snack. […]
MoreHomemade food gifts have always been one of my favorite things to give (and receive) during the holiday season. My mom recently mailed me a special issue of Taste of Home magazine that solely focused on food gifts (she knows me all too well). After skimming through pages of masterfully crafted recipes, I began to […]
MoreWell friends, as of last night I officially finished my month of pie. Tomorrow is a new month, and the Christmas season will officially begin. It’s time to move on from the flavors of the harvest and delight ourselves with all that winter has to offer. I saved the Maple-Walnut pie for last for a […]
MoreAs November comes to an end I reflect on all that I have to be thankful for. Which really, is a lot. I’ve realized this month how fortunate I really am. Too often I stress about the things that I don’t have, when really, I should be glad for the things that I do. […]
MoreSweet potatoes are a Thanksgiving classic. Mash ‘em with some sugar, pecans, and marshmallows and it’s unclear as to whether you have a side or dessert. Though sweet enough to earn a place among the pies, my turkey just isn’t complete if not accompanied by a huge dollop of sweet potato casserole. I’ve had sweet […]
