Oh this is so worth the effort! Quite simply this is Cantucci or Almond Biscotti. I know, you've made biscotti before. But this recipe has an ingredient which I've never had in biscotti. The finished cookies had a great taste and I thought this would make an ideal addition to the Christmas table. This is [...]
This is a lovely cookie that is good at anytime, but especially good now. Cranberries evoke memories of celebrations, good food and of course - desserts! I picked this as another of the treats. It is probably one you might have made a variation off in the past, but I liked how it came together, how [...]
Oh my goodness! Where did the time go! My favorite time of the year is finally here. Not because of all the presents (okay, okay, maybe some presents) but, because I get to do all this wonderful baking and more importantly, I get to share the recipes with you. My theme this year - as always, [...]
Well, it looks like another year is coming to an end! Christmas is almost here. If you have planned on being with family and friends hopefully the snowy weather hasn't stopped you. If it has, think back on the last few Christmas days we had - or didn't have. You got this!! I hope you [...]
I know what you are thinking! Is there anything this guy won’t add cayenne to?! Well of course there are many things I won’t put cayenne to, but when a recipe inspires me, I have to make it! This is a twist on a NYT cooking recipe and is a nice addition to the sweet [...]
I seem to be more obsessed with warming spices and the tastes and memories they conjure up. Whether it’s a subtle way of acknowledging I’m growing older or not, I am embracing it with open arms. This is one of those cookies I’ve always wanted to make but never got around to. Whether it seemed [...]
Oh how fast the big day is approaching! Still, a thrill seeing all the delicious recipes out there and selecting which ones to share with you. When I saw this recipe I knew I had to try it! I’ve made amaretti before, blogged about it, big big fan of it. But this is different, not [...]
Oh I like this one, but keep it away from the kids (or not :) ). This is a quintessential adult cookie. The taste of whisky combined with maple syrup makes you feel like you are in a log cabin in the mountains, snow billowing outside, a roaring fire in the fireplace and a grown [...]
Wait what!? A latte that doesn’t involve pumpkin pie spice – the horror! Just kidding, although I bake with the flavor of pumpkin pie spice, I really don’t want it near my coffee! To me, coffee should taste like coffee! That said, this is another one of those recipes from the NYTimes that caught my [...]
No, it’s not some new hideous dance move for weddings, but it can be served at weddings on a sweet table! This is a delightful cookie, Greek origins – although I think the name pretty much shows its roots! This is a wonderful treat for the 2022 Christmas collection – Melomakarona! I wanted to make [...]
