Blood Orange and Almond Madeleines

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!! [...]

Healthy-ish Bars

I love cleaning out my pantry, but only when I uncover ingredients which force me to use them and turn them into something delicious (as opposed to tossing it out because it expired in 2019 – yikes!). These bars were inspired by two cans of condensed milk sitting in my cupboard which were dangerously close [...]
