Ketchup. This yummy versatile condiment can top anything and make it tastier, in my opinion. It’s a perfect complement to your fries, burgers, or hotdogs. And for some, it goes well over scrambled eggs, savory french toast, salads, or even used as a dipping sauce for some veggies. Personally, I enjoy a deconstructed burger with my mustard and ketchup over my salad, hold the bun. And what’s even better is that with a handful of ingredients, you can have homemade ketchup ready in just 20 minutes!

Up to this point, I have never actually done anything near Mt. Rainier! And I moved to the PNW in 2007. I have always admired it’s grandness and beauty from afar.

First Attempt at Angel Food Cake

by 1 Comment

Come along as I venture into my first attempt at Angel Food Cake, revel in my triumphs, laugh at my errors, and laugh even more at the end result!

Everyone enjoys a light and fluffy angel food cake topped with whipped cream and strawberries. The angel food cake alone is light and sweet and slightly caramelized on the outside. It’s a dessert that heralds in the start of summer and all things berries. And I wanted to contribute with my first ever angel food cake to ring in summer!

It seems that everyone I know has tried an angel food cake recipe at least once in their lifetime. Personally, I never had. The thought of whipped egg whites had always intimidated me.

So come along with me on my first journey into this whipped egg white adventure!
