After much anticipation and teasers, Ben & Jerry’s just announced the release of their new line of non-dairy ice cream.

Earlier this summer, Ben & Jerry’s announced that they were working on a new non-dairy line of ice cream. This was definitely exciting news for many! They recently released an update stating that their product will also be vegan. No eggs, dairy or honey and certified by Vegan Action. No news on the flavors yet,...
When I saw the menu for this month’s Kitchen Play, sponsored by Calphalon, there was one particular dish that caught my attention – the Pumpkin French Toast Casserole prepared by Buns in My Oven.

In my previous post, I mentioned that I received a gift pack from General Mills through MyBlogSpark which included a box of Progresso Lemon Pepper Panko for me to review and a copy of Michael Chiarello’s Bottega cookbook.
