It’s a brand new year and with that comes change and resolutions. So many resolutions involve eating healthier, losing weight, or exercising more. If your resolution sounds something like that, I suppose you can eat these virtually guilt-free since 3/4 of the ingredients are fat-free. Right? At least that’s what I keep telling myself. I [...]

Peppermint and chocolate together are one of my favorite flavor combinations. There’s just something about smooth, velvety chocolate paired with cool, refreshing peppermint that is oh so nice. Peppermint patties are one of my all-time favorite candies, so much so that I had to try to recreate them. (SO easy to do!) They are closely [...]

It’s no secret around here these days that I’ve made a complete 360 with regard to my feeling on yeast, doughs and all things in the bread family. Once a hater of anything that involved working with yeast, required me to knead or get my hands sticky with dough. I’m a convert which you all [...]

Recently I recalled a memory of being a child  and going into my grandmother’s pantry. She always had good little snacks but there was one thing that I always looked for. Inside were these little sandwich cookies with raspberry jam in the center. These weren’t traditional Linzer cookies. They were sprinkled with granulated sugar and [...]

Here’s a question for you. Eggnog … “Hooray!!” or “No Way!” Where do you stand? There seems to be a definitely line in the sand when in comes to this beverage. You either love it or you hate it. Unless you’re like me. I’m kind of on the fence. I am firmly stationed in the [...]
