Snickercrinkle Cookies

March 16, 2012 by Faith 29 Comments

A combination of snickerdoodles and molasses crinkles, these Snickercrinkle Cookies have the texture of molasses crinkles (flat cookies that are crispy outside, but soft and chewy inside), and the flavor of snickerdoodles (buttery, cinnamon-y, and slightly tangy because of the cream of tartar). Last holiday season I went to a cookie exchange. Before going, I knew that all the classic favorites would be there (like peanut butter kisses, frosted cut-out cookies, hello dollies, Russian tea cakes, jam thumbprints, and all kinds of fudge), but I wanted to bring something different. I searched online, in numerous cookbooks, and even in my mom’s recipe box, but I didn’t […]...

Maple Pecan Shortbread

January 30, 2012 by Faith 24 Comments

Maple Pecan Shortbread cookies are rich and buttery, with the complex sweetness of maple and nutty crunch from pecans. These little lovelies are another recipe that was inspired by Tim Hortons. They sell boxes of maple shortbread with some kind of nut (I can’t remember if it’s walnuts or pecans); the cookies are good, but the idea has the potential to be great, which is why I wanted to try my hand at a homemade version....

Molasses Crinkles Cookies (Chewy Molasses Cookies)

September 23, 2011 by Faith 30 Comments

Richly spiced with ginger, cinnamon, and cloves these chewy Molasses Crinkles Cookies are perfect for fall baking. And they’re a lovely addition to a holiday cookie platter! I once slept for 23 hours straight. It was crazy…I woke up and had lost almost a whole day of my life! A solid 6 hours is typically all my body needs to feel refreshed, but on that occasion there were special circumstances....

Butterscotch Oatmeal Cookies (aka Oatmeal Scotchies)

Butterscotch Oatmeal Cookies on White Plate on Orange Fabric

Butterscotch Oatmeal Cookies (also called Oatmeal Scotchies and Oatmeal Scotch Chippers) are a delicious pairing of sweet butterscotch chips, nutty walnuts, and hearty oats! Another summer gone, and gosh, it went fast! I remember as a kid, summers seemed to be never-ending. I’d spend hours each day riding my bike, swimming, or exploring, only surfacing to eat and sleep....

Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

May 12, 2011 by Faith 34 Comments

Classic chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies with walnuts and warm spices are the perfect afternoon snack with a glass of milk! Anyone out there have a picky kid to contend with? Even though I don’t have kids of my own yet, my niece is at my house all the time. (I love it because I get to spend time with her, and she loves it because we hang out and watch classics like The Little Mermaid and make yummy snacks like Oatmeal Raisin Cookies. ;) )...

Parsnip Cake Recipe with Maple Buttercream

January 3, 2011 by Faith 52 Comments

Top View of Parsnip Cake

Parsnip lends an earthy sweetness similar to roasted chestnuts to this maple-sweetened, cinnamon-spiced Parsnip Cake Recipe with Maple Buttercream. I think I remember Ina Garten once saying that dessert is the most memorable part of dinner. She’s so right, dessert is the real deal breaker. Dessert is the course that takes an ordinary dinner and makes it wonderful or a good dinner and makes it outstanding....

Ingredient Substitutions

May 25, 2010 by Faith 35 Comments

I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve been inspired to try a new recipe only to realize that I’m missing a key ingredient (or worse yet, when I’ve already started cooking and mid-meal I realize I don’t have everything I need).  Of course, a trip to the market would fix that, but if you can utilize other ingredients that you already have on hand, it’s even better.  Some substitutions that I make are to use what I have on hand, but I make other substitutions to healthy things up a little.  Next time you’re in the kitchen and you realize you don’t have an […]...

In honor of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month, I'm s In honor of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month, I'm sharing this Red Lentil Soup. I first posted the recipe on my blog years ago (it's been over a decade now!) after I learned how to make it while living in the Middle East. My Syrian ex-mother-in-law is an absolutely incredible cook. Not only does she enjoy feeding the people she loves, but cooking is truly an art form to her. She graciously took me into her kitchen and taught me so many traditional recipes like this one. 💛

Not long ago, I re-photographed the dish and updated the post on my blog. You can find it on @anediblemosaic --> https://www.anediblemosaic.com/ramadan-red-lentil-soup/

And if you're interested, you can also check out that post to read more about my experience with Ramadan, and what foods are traditional. 🌙

Ramadan Kareem to all who celebrate. 😘

I finally got to cross off a huge item on my to-do I finally got to cross off a huge item on my to-do list! Do you remember my other blog Healthy Sweet Eats? Until today, the last time I posted there was February 2020! I even had content ready, recipes developed and photographed, and I have absolutely no excuse for myself lol. 😱🙈😅

More than just wanting to get back into posting regularly there, I wanted to give that space a fresh new look! I'm pretty thrilled that today it's done (with just a couple very minor decorative tweaks I still want to make). 💗

Not only does Healthy Sweet Eats have a fresh new face, but today I shared my recipe for #sugarfree Berry Sorbet 🍓🫐🍒, which uses frozen berries and comes together in just 5 minutes for the most delicious dose of antioxidants I've ever had.

Take a peek at the redesign and let me know what you think! 😘 Find this recipe on my other blog Healthy Sweet Eats (the direct link is in my link tree in my profile) --> https://www.healthysweeteats.com/sugar-free-berry-sorbet-recipe/

This year I made a new charoset recipe for tonight This year I made a new charoset recipe for tonight’s #seder! In addition to apple, nuts, and cinnamon, it’s heavy on the apricot and I think it’s my favorite version yet. 🥰 And by that I mean it’s good enough to enjoy year-round and not just save for #passover. I will definitely be sharing the recipe on my blog soon. 😘 #chagsemeach #pesach #pesach2021 #dayenu #foodstyling #foodphotography
This really isn't the prettiest dish. 🙈 But it' This really isn't the prettiest dish. 🙈 But it's nourishing and uncomplicated, mostly cabbage and ground beef and a few other veggies along with a couple spices. It's #paleo and easy to make #lowcarb and #ketofriendly. And it doesn't need a lot of time; just 10 minutes of prep time and 20 minutes to cook. The best part is, it's so much more delicious than you might think! What it lacks in looks, it definitely makes up for in other ways. 🥰 Find my Unstuffed Cabbage Rolls recipe on @anediblemosaic --> https://www.anediblemosaic.com/unstuffed-cabbage-rolls-recipe/

These are supposed to be French Crullers, but as y These are supposed to be French Crullers, but as you can see they look nothing like they're supposed to! 🙈😁 I'd call the recipe a flop in that sense, except for 2 things: 1) they still taste great (swipe through to the last photo showing their pillow-y interior), and 2) I made them on a Zoom call together with my dear friend Evelyene (@cultureatz). Eve and I virtually met around the time we both started blogging (she lives in Montreal), which was over a decade ago (it's crazy to think how fast time flies!).

When we first met in real life last year before the pandemic hit, it was an instant connection. It was lots of laughs, local exploration, good food, great conversation, and she even brought me bagels from her hometown! She's a kindred soul. 🥰❤️ Since then we've stayed connected and have spent a few afternoons cooking together. We've made Russian dumplings called Pelmeni and we had a holiday cake-off where I made a Gingerbread Roll Cake and Eve made a Pumpkin Roll Cake.

She and I used the same recipe for French Crullers and it didn't work as expected for either of us (just wait until you see how Evelyne's turned out, they're completely different from mine!), but still I'd call it a success.

I think this delicious disaster deserves to be commemorated, so I wanted to style and photograph them. Even though the prop styling is minimal, it's an eclectic grouping:

1) Background: Scrap marble at a floor tile store in Jacksonville, Florida. The lady was awesome, she told me to look around and take any scrap tile I could use.
2) Cake stand (swipe through to see it better): I got this at my favorite ceramics store in Paris, France called @astierdevillatte in May 2015.
3) Espresso cups: Seller @madhouseceramics on @etsy.
4) Small spoons: Seller Ann Cutting from ceramicpix on @etsy.
5) Espresso: My favorite espresso @lavazzausa.
