In my family, Christmas morning is merry and bright. It brings homemade eggnog lattes, carols humming softly in the background, and the cheery twinkle of lights on the tree.…
This easy-to-make Christmas Morning Scones recipe, aka Vanilla Bean, Nutmeg, and Rosemary-Scented Scones, captures the flavor and aroma of Christmas morning! Whatever you do, DO NOT make these scones. I made them, tasted them, and did a double take. (Oh my God, they are the best scones. Ever.) I may have had to sit down and I’m pretty sure my eyes rolled back in my head a little....
Christmas Morning Cornbread Loaf Cake is flavored with vanilla bean, nutmeg, and rosemary, and studded with cranberries; it doesn’t any more festive! I love hearing about holiday breakfast traditions. Some people do the bulk of the work the night before with something like a strata or bread pudding that just has to be baked in the morning. Others make a huge batch of pancakes or waffles and get the whole family involved. Or maybe it’s the classic failsafe, bacon, eggs, and toast....
Growing up, my family’s favorite cookbook was Betty Crocker’s Cookbook (my sister and I would get so excited when we saw my mom pull out that tattered red cookbook! We knew something delicious was not far away). Not just any Betty Crocker cookbook though, it was a 1981 edition, which of course is now considered vintage (funny how times change, isn’t it?). The thing about this cookbook is that it’s designed not only to hold recipes, but to actually teach the average modern day home cook how to cook....
Living in what basically amounts to the tundra in the winter, I have to take winter’s perks as they come. One of the things I look forward to most of all during these frigid months is the delicious citrus that is in season. (Of course it’s shipped here from somewhere else, but at least we get to enjoy it, lol.) This grapefruit salad is simply flavored but deliciously refreshing, and makes a perfect addition to Christmas Brunch....
Every family has at least one picky eater. It could be someone who doesn’t eat anything their mom didn’t make (Mike baby, you know that’s you), or someone who doesn’t eat meat, or someone who doesn’t like dishes containing any green food (D., I’m talking to you, lol! And yes, I still love you). You get the idea. I really can’t throw stones though, since at one point as a teenager I decided I didn’t like meat and went through about a six month vegetarian phase. But my mom wasn’t one to cater to my whims; every dinner she made a meal consisting of a protein (some […]...
Some days are better than others, especially this time of year. Some days you wake up and spring out of bed with a smile on your face, just knowing that it will be a good day. But then you get into your car and spend hours battling the barrage of angry shoppers, not only in stores but also on the roads and in parking lots. After following decorum and waiting patiently for a parking spot and then having your space stolen not once, not twice, but three times and then waiting in four different lines for over an hour each only to find out that two of the items […]...
