I had a snickerdoodle years ago- I’m talking like probably 40 yrs. ago and I was not a fan. With all the recipes floating about I thought I might try it again, and this time did not disappoint. I tried the viral “pan banging cookies” from the 100 cookies book by Sarah Kieffer. Not only... Read More
Blueberry Chai Spice Crunch Pie I know you’re probably thinking chai spice in a blueberry pie? Hear me out- it’s the magical blend of the spice’s cinnamon, ginger, clove, cardamom, black and white pepper that come together in just the perfect amounts that make this amazing blend. I use this spice blend in my chai... Read More
This is my all-time favorite Fall or Winter pie. I know, I know that sounds like a heady claim, but it really is. This recipe alone is a reason to hoard cranberries. I implore you to make it. Everyone who tastes it agrees with me. The sweet tart notes along with the spices and the... Read More
You’ll never know the importance of Lunar New Year unless you are Asian or married to one. Mine is obviously the second reason. It’s amazing though how accurate Chinese astrology animals match up with personality traits. I’m a rabbit and I can say that it does line up with the character of my spirit. My... Read More
I’ve been absent for a bit, due to my computer dying several weeks ago, and with several projects going on in the house, a bit of a bathroom renovation (I got a new walk in whirlpool tub- as I am physically disabled) and it was an insurance battle to get that done. (Thank you Jesus).... Read More
Just like the ‘You know who’ coffee shop without having to get dressed, because muffins taste way better in your robe and slippers. It’s a fact… So, are we tired of pumpkin treats yet? Nope. Can’t stop, won’t stop. At least for a while, or until Christmas, or my cravings start for everything peppermint candy... Read More
What’s a Lemonie you ask? A Lemonie is wonderful soft and somewhat dense lemon bar; but not in the sense one normally thinks of a lemon bar. Calling them a lemon brownie seems kind of misleading. Well imagine if a lemon bar and a shortbread cookie had a love child. The texture is meltingly yielding... Read More
These are so good with a warm cup of cider or cinnamon tea. Harney and Sons makes a hot cinnamon sunset tea that is perfect with these. They are a superb pair with a sniff of brandy too. They are crisp, packed with flavor and the recipe is super simple and comes together quickly. I... Read More
Last year I attempted to make a pumpkin cannoli but my filling was too loose even with straining my ricotta cheese it wasn’t as thick as I wanted, so I took to the web looking at recipes for classic cannoli’s to see why. I found several Italian peeps saying the trick was to make your... Read More
Next to scones, popovers are probably my next favorite breakfast treat. They are light and don’t leave you feeling so full that you have to dive back into bed for a nap. They are quick to whip up too. I like to rest my batter in the fridge for an hour to let the flour... Read More
People laugh at me when I say I make my own Birthday Cake, but it’s something I love doing, and have done for several years now. There’s a certain calmness knowing you don’t have to worry about if the decoration is perfect, or the flavor is not something someone else doesn’t quite like, because well;... Read More
I never knew what passionfruit was until pastry school. Ever since, I have been obsessed with the flavor and love it immensely. It’s something that is hard to describe; but I’ll try. It is tangy, sharp but a pleasant floral fruity taste. If you are a lemon or citrus lover you will like passionfruit. If... Read More
A lot of (obsessive) thought went into the creation of this beauty. I wanted to make sure all the components of a mojito cocktail came through. The mint, the lime, and the rum all had to be there but not with one overpowering the other flavor. I a took a gamble on coming up with... Read More
