During this holiday season I make plenty of cocktails. Some are simple and some are a little more complicated. While some are cold, most of my cocktail choices during this chilly time of year are hot. After all, there’s nothing better on a snowy evening than Hot Chocolate with Baileys or a big steaming cup… Continue reading Hot Buttered Rum Cocktail

Sweet Potato Latkes
Tonight’s the third night of Hanukkah and if you’re anything like me that means it’s all about the potato pancakes. Yes, the entree is important but when it comes to the Festival of Lights the most important food really is the potato pancake. Now I’m a big fan of the classic Russet potato version, but… Continue reading Sweet Potato Latkes
Butterscotch cookies with eggnog buttercream frosting and an OXO giveaway
It’s the holidays and that means I’m doing a lot of cooking, and not just savory dishes, I’m baking plenty of sweet things as well. During this time of year I’m always baking cookies and bars of all shapes and sizes. While I usually stick to my favorites like Chocolate Mint Cookies or Chocoholic’s Brownies,… Continue reading Butterscotch cookies with eggnog buttercream frosting and an OXO giveaway
Black Forest Brownies
I’ve always been a huge fan of chocolate and cherries or any combination thereof. My favorite sweet? Chocolate covered cherries. They’re soooo good. There’s just nothing in the world that beats them, especially if it’s a deep, rich dark chocolate in which the cherry has been dipped. So, since I’m such a huge fan of… Continue reading Black Forest Brownies
Tom & Jerry Cocktail
I know it’s been awhile since my last classic cocktail post and for that I apologize. But I figured what better month to start them back up again than December, the month of holidays and parties galore. If you’re anything like me you have at least one part you’ll be attending (or throwing) and so… Continue reading Tom & Jerry Cocktail
Apple Spice Cake with Cranberry Glaze
It’s November and that means two things to me: Thanksgiving and cranberries. This is one of my favorite months because I can finally head to my local grocery store and stock up on those delicious berries that seem to be available for only a few short weeks. I stock up because this is when I… Continue reading Apple Spice Cake with Cranberry Glaze
Midnight Milky Way Pudding
Halloween is one of my favorite times of year. Yes, I’m (technically) too old to go trick or treating and get free candy, but thankfully I have A, who’s now two and a half and can do it for me. Then as his mom, I have the pleasure of going through his candy and weeding… Continue reading Midnight Milky Way Pudding
Minny’s Chocolate Pie
I have a confession to make. I hate to read. Okay let me clarify that, I hate to read books. Magazines, scripts, blog posts, all these I have no trouble with and actually quite enjoy. Don’t ask me why I’m repulsed by books, because I actually can’t tell you. Maybe it’s the thought of cracking… Continue reading Minny’s Chocolate Pie
Waldorf Cocktail
As you know my Nana died a couple weeks ago. It’s been tough, but every day’s a little better, partly because I’ve finally been able to get some sleep. But since I always do a classic cocktail on Fridays I wanted to do one to honor her. So I searched and searched for a cocktail… Continue reading Waldorf Cocktail
Apple Oven Cake
This month I thought I’d try a little experiment. I’m participating in Eating Rules’ October Unprocessed. It’s a pledge that for the month of October I’m going to try and only eat food that is unprocessed. (That’s what that cool-looking badge over there on the left is all about.) You’re probably wondering what that means.… Continue reading Apple Oven Cake
Cheesecake-Stuffed Peaches for Rosh Hashanah
This should have been a post about apples since Rosh Hashanah began last night and apples are the fruit of the holiday. This should have been a happy post about new beginnings, the book of life and all things sweet. This post should have been a lot of things… But now it’s not going to… Continue reading Cheesecake-Stuffed Peaches for Rosh Hashanah
