We can all agree that chocolate is necessary for any holiday sweets spread, yeah?
Perhaps you have had the classic chocolate crinkle cookie. They are really popular around this house. They are fudgy and sweet, but not tooooooo sweet and best of all, kids love to help make them. They can roll the dough into […]

Here is a recipe that is near and dear to my heart. Mom and I would make these every year and although I wasn’t a fan of eating them as a kid, I LOVED making them. And being in the kitchen with my mom working on holiday cookies was pretty sweet. On many levels.
So, here […]
The next in the line of cookie recipes is a really super tasty one. I love shortbread of all kinds–especially chocolate chip, but this one is right up there and it also makes a beautiful presentation in a cookie tin.
Enjoy!
Well, Thanksgiving is past. I hope everyone had a wonderful time preparing and sharing a delicious meal with family and friends this year.
This is definitely a food-focused time of year. We all tend to eat more than we should of the kinds of food that aren’t what you would call Healthy or Light. It’s just […]

What has made this dessert even more memorable is the times we […]

Here is a seasonal recipe I love. Of course, you could eat pumpkiny treats any time of the year. But, who does? I mean, really? Pumpkin pie in May? Just doesn’t seem right. It’s kind of like the unspoken rule in our house about not playing Loreena McKennitt music before Halloween. It’s not holiday music, […]
It’s fall!
I love fall food. I love the change of seasons and getting to wear sweaters again. Of course, as I type this, it’s 80 degrees here in my corner of New England. Not exactly hot apple cider weather. But that’s okay. It will be soon and I can still feel the change inside […]

Isn’t there some nursery rhyme about a kid who pulls a plum out of his pie or something?
This tart may make you want to do that. It’s juicy innards are enough to make you dive in before it’s cool enough to eat. But, your patience will pay off, I promise.
This is one of those […]
