Oh my goodness! We are already in December! I sure I hope I can get all "12 Treats for Christmas" 2021 done in time. Regardless, I will post as I make them, so please enjoy. This is our second Covid-state Christmas – let’s hope it’s our last Covid-state Christmas! I think this recipe is a [...]
I have been eyeing this recipe for the longest time. The flavors intrigue me and that’s sometimes what draws me to a recipe. It looked gorgeous in the magazine and I had bookmarked it to try for a future blog. So this is my Coffee, Black Sesame and Kinako Cookie recipe. There are plenty of [...]
I haven’t made a cookie for you in a while and in hindsight, I'm glad I didn’t because you will love this one. It comes together beautifully well, intensely chocolatey, and as always – room for add-ins and swaps. This Chocolate Toffee Nut Cookie adapted slightly from the Epicurious site, is my new favorite cookie. [...]
Happy Juneteenth! What a wonderful day to celebrate! The abolishing of slavery in the United States. I must admit that one good thing that came out of this pandemic for me, was having the time to read more and become more aware of what is happening not just in my back yard but around the [...]
They're everywhere I tell you!!! I’m talking about those luscious, plump and rosy morsels of goodness - strawberries of course!

You will definitely need to put a lock on that cookie jar after you make these, either that or wear your stretchy pants! Some of my favorite flavors are in this cookie – pecans, coffee, vanilla and of course a finishing salt for the final touch. These are salted Toffee, Pecan biscuits. An adapted recipe [...]
Not another sugar cookie, nope not this time, this is a Blood Orange Sugar Crinkle cookie! And before you say "tomayto/tomahto", this cookie is like looking at a sunny day that not only brightens your spirits but make you look forward to all the safe activities in the sun! They are delicious soft and chewy [...]
An easy to do recipe – my favorite kind, 7 ingredients and an amazingly delicious cake - no mixer required! This is a brown butter cake and the first bite you take, will transport you to one of those lovely intimate restaurants you find on the back streets in Rome. It is a rustic cake [...]
Yes my favorite citrus is back (it’s been back for a while really)! But, the season is almost gone so if you haven’t picked up any blood oranges yet, I suggest you do that right now. Tighten up the drawstring on those buffet pants and get to the store. Go on, I’ll wait… You back, okay!! [...]
Happy St. Patrick’s Day everyone! A great reason to have a drink and toast your Irish heritage – I know I’ll be having a sip or two! I was searching through my recipe archives and new posts recently for something Irish. I’ve done other Irish themed recipes on this site – Soda Bread, Corned Beef, [...]
