Chicken, Olive, Orange, and Rye Bread Tray Bake
Really Really Good. And So Easy! Tray bake, sheet pan meal, single pan dinner. Whatever you call them, if you cook, you probably have at least a couple of these easy meals on standby for when you’re short on time and energy, or just don’t feel like spending much time in the kitchen. I’ve been […]
Orange, Cranberry, and Cacao Nib Meltaways
Easy and Delicious Cookies Sound Good Right About Now, Don’t They? It is definitely the cookie time of year in my house. I don’t bake a lot of cookies, but come Christmas season, baking cookies becomes the norm. I bake my rugelach and a few other favorites every year, but I also love to try […]
Pear and Cranberry Slice
Who Doesn’t Love a Simple and Comforting Slice of Something Delicious? I’m fully aware that I’m very late to this particular game, but I’ve somehow managed to live this long without being aware of a dessert called a Slice. My good friend, Elizabeth Le Grice, mentioned that she had baked an Apple Slice. I asked […]
Plum Brown Butter Cobbler
Plums in a Cobbler? Oh, Yes! Fruit cobblers can be made so many different ways and most of those will be good. For instance, when I grew up my mother only made cobblers with pie crust and I will always love that type, while I find that a biscuit topped cobbler is only good straight […]
French Toast
What’s For Brunch? French Toast with a Secret Ingredient. Hello, friends! It’s been awhile. I optimistically hoped I’d be up and running a few weeks after moving, but it turned into a couple of months. I’m happy to say my kitchen renovation in my new house was completed 2 days before Christmas and I’m ready […]
Rice Pudding with Nectarines and Amaretto
Perfect for Summer – Ice Cold and Creamy Rice Pudding. This came about because I made a mistake. I really don’t know how it happened, but I ended up having 25 pounds of Homai Calrose medium grain sushi rice delivered in my last Costco order. I remember looking at it awhile ago, but have no […]
Lemon Basil Sheet Cake
A Vibrant Sheet Cake – Just in Time for Spring. My love of sheet cakes is fairly well known by now. First of all, when it comes to ease of preparation, they can’t be beat. They will also feed a crowd, if necessary. Finally, there is no last minute fussing around, you can even make […]
Muscadine Pie
One of the Best Pies I’ve Ever Tasted. Well, this is a first for me. I had never made a muscadine pie. Nor had I ever tasted one. I always buy muscadines when they show up in my market because I’m nuts about their flavor. I’ve sliced them in half and roasted them, as well […]
