Okay who made pumpkin anything this Thanksgiving weekend?! Yes me too, I made a pumpkin cake with cream cheese icing. Moist and delicious just like a carrot cake but with pumpkin. But this recipe isn’t about the cake (I didn’t take pictures so can’t blog about it, but it was a hit so will definitely [...]
There are so many variations on the corn fritter. Some are thick and others thin, deep fried, pan fried and even baked (I know - really?!). This is a thin variation that comes out crispy and delicious right from the pan. Best served hot, but if you have to, room temperature works as well. The [...]
This was an experiment – it could have gone either way, but if it went that way – you wouldn’t be reading this. Oh it was a pleasant surprise! A delightful soft cookie with flavor combinations that really aren’t that unusual when you think about it. I’m sure if you have been to Italy you [...]
Think of this as an alternative to a traditional pizza crust. It uses chickpea flour which makes it gluten free (and is high in protein, iron and fiber – closing google), so everyone in the family can enjoy it – please don’t tell me you are allergic to chickpeas!

Oh this is a must try recipe – unless there are nut allergies in your household. My wife and daughter had this cake – or something like it, at a tea shop a while ago. They raved about it to me which I always take to meaning I should make it. I scoured the internet [...]
I know it’s as natural as the seasons changing or night following day but it is never easy to let someone go when you love them - even if it is their time. My father passed away a few weeks back, he was 98 and I miss him very much. I often joked in my [...]
I know, it's been a while, lots going on that kept me busy. But I will make it up to you with this recipe. I call this the All-in Cookie. It is packed with a variety of flavors from dried fruit such as cranberries, currants, raisins and sour cherries all reconstituted in a bit of [...]
This is a tasty grown up cookie. It has all the elements of a child’s cookie – but it has the unmistakable quality of an adult cookie. The espresso in this coffee is wonderfully pronounced. This is originally from a Dorie Greenspan cookie which – as you know, is one of my favorite Pastry Chef’s. [...]

The food was simply delicious – folks were raving about the Beef Spoons, Chicken Skewers, Curried Maple Butternut Squash Soup, Beef Tenderloin and not forgetting the delicious Taiwan Rice and awesome Birthday Cake. There was so [...]
