Unfortunately, some Sundays I don’t have the time to make a bunch of snacks and sit around to watch football all day. Booooo! I hate those Sundays when real life gets in the way. It’s been super crazy and busy around the Big Flavors household, and this weekend is just jam-packed with other things [...]
This coffee cake is how I comforted myself with the whole “fall back an hour on Sunday” business. I mean, really, can we get over this “Fall Back, Spring Forward” garbage? Yeh, I know it’s nice to gain that one extra hour of sleep on November 4th. I’ll even admit that I [...]
For me, it’s usually a stressful kind of day when a pizza cravings hit. There’s just something about a crispy pizza crust and gobs of melted cheese that instantly lifts my spirits and puts the day back on track. (Actually, pizza and chocolate both have the same effect. But this post is about pizza so [...]
I know there are a lot of people out there who wish they could always have a home cooked meal, but feel they just don’t have the time to cook. Instead, they resort to ordering take-out or running through the drive-thru on their way home from work. I get it. I mean, [...]

Isn’t it crazy how the weather so closely relates to the foods we crave and cook? I’m not just talking about the ingredients that are in season, although they definitely play a major role in the food that we choose to eat. I’m talking about what we crave internally. During the summer it’s all [...]
Would you like to know something I loathe? It’s when muffins or cupcakes are too small. And, no, I’m not talking about mini muffins because those are mini for a purpose. They hold their own little place in the land of dessert. I’m talking about muffins that are supposed to be actual full-size muffins [...]
So, even though we get a ton of seasonal vegetables through our weekly CSA share, Mr. Big Flavors still thought it was appropriate to buy even more fresh produce at the local farmers market. Needless to say our refrigerator is currently overflowing with seasonal ingredients. He came home with eggplant, broccoli, both a purple and orange head [...]
Can you feel it? It’s Fall. It’s here. Gone are the days of the 9 PM sunsets and mornings wearing short sleeve shirts and flipflops. Turn off the air conditioners and pull out the jackets. Because the cooler weather is here to stay. Can you smell it? I can’t pinpoint where that [...]
