The Angel’s Kiss. I’ve been wanting to make this cocktail for awhile. But since “kiss” is in the name I thought the drink deserved to be saved for the holiday that’s all about kissing. The fact that it’s made of chocolate, cream and cherries, makes it the perfect dessert cocktail for Valentine’s Day, don’t you… Continue reading Angel’s Kiss Cocktail

Maraschino Whoopie Pies
It’s Valentine’s Day next week and that means your mailbox is probably going to be full of red envelopes, heart-shaped cards, chocolate and flowers. While I like chocolate any time of the day or night 365 days a year, next Tuesday is the day when chocolate sales seem to go through the roof. And why… Continue reading Maraschino Whoopie Pies
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
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
Corny Cupcakes for the 4th
I hate going to the doctor’s office. Not because I don’t like seeing the doctor, but because I hate waiting to see the doctor. See, whenever I have an appointment, I try to get there at least a few minutes early, that way if they’re ready for me when I’m actually scheduled, I’ll be there… Continue reading Corny Cupcakes for the 4th
Pink Squirrel Cocktail
In case I haven’t mentioned it before, I’m a huge fan of the 30’s, 40’s, 50’s and early-60’s. I have several pieces of furniture from that era, at least 1/4 of my wardrobe dates from that time period and about half my ipod is made up of swing music. It’s why I dubbed Kitchy Cooking,… Continue reading Pink Squirrel Cocktail
Strawberry Meringue Cake and an Anniversary
(sung to the tune of Happy Birthday.) Happy anniversary to me, happy anniversary to me, happy anniversary to me…Happy anniversary to meeeeee. I can’t believe it’s already been a year since I started Kitchy Cooking. Actually it’s been a little over a year. My first post was written for Passover and since Passover was at… Continue reading Strawberry Meringue Cake and an Anniversary
Eggnog
I haven’t done a drink recipe on here, yet. But it’s the holidays and this is the time of year that two of my favorite alcoholic concoctions are flowing pretty freely. Since there are a few weeks left of holiday parties and get togethers or even if you’re just looking for something to make for… Continue reading Eggnog
