When Mike and I lived in Kuwait last year, I picked up the habit of taking tea in the afternoon....
Cranberry-White Cheddar Cheese Ball with Fresh Rosemary {Crazy for Cranberry}
This is the second recipe in my Crazy for Cranberry series, and it’s a good way to tie some festive cranberry flavor into an appetizer that’s always a hit: the cheese ball!...
Deluxe Cake Batter Fudge
I don’t know about you, but I’m a little hard-pressed to find a dessert that’s suitable for Easter outside of carrot cake, lemon bars, or orange chiffon cake. And of course all the cutesy little bunny and egg-topped cupcakes and cookies. There’s nothing wrong with any of those things (in fact, I die over a good slice of carrot cake!), but I don’t know…I like to mix things up a little. If you’re the same way, this fudge will definitely keep things interesting....
Toasted Hazelnut Chocolate-Espresso Cookies
Mike and I have a friend here in Kuwait who doesn’t like to eat. I know what you’re thinking. Wait…what?! Explain please, because I just don’t understand. Yup, it’s true, he doesn’t like to eat, toddler-style. As in, I guess I’ll eat if I have to, but only when I really feel like it, and good luck getting me to try anything new. Sigh. The challenges I have to face, lol....
Cranberry-Chocolate-Almond Thumbprint Cookies
If you’re looking for a new treat for your holiday cookie platter, these Cranberry-Chocolate-Almond Thumbprint Cookies are perfect! Things are about to get cookie crazy around here. Ok, not really, but they should. And in a perfect world (read: where calories don’t at all for the entire months of November and December), cookie crazy would be my life right now....
Caramelized Brussels Sprouts with Dark Cherry Sauce + Hazelnut
With Thanksgiving less than a week away, if you’re anything like me, I bet you’ve been scouring the internet for new side dish ideas. Of course there are the ever-present sides on our holiday table, like butternut squash puree, some variant of stuffing (cornbread-based stuffing seems to be everyone’s favorite), and some form of bean casserole (usually green bean casserole, but for some reason that hasn’t been such a hit for the past couple of years). And Brussels sprouts, which is my dad’s contribution to our meal; my mom hates them and refuses to go near them, but since they’re a favorite of his, my dad takes on […]...
Gingersnap + White Chocolate Truffles {7 Days of Festive Holiday Treats}
If you had to choose only one flavor that embodies fall, what would it be? For me, it’s ginger, without a doubt. (I’m pretty sure this is because of these cookies, which I vividly remember my mom frequently making in autumns gone by.) Even when I don’t have homemade Molasses Crinkles on hand, I can usually find a box of store-bought gingersnaps in my cupboard (which are surprisingly delicious!)....
Nutty Biscotti {7 Days of Festive Holiday Treats}
Where you live, does it snow for Christmas? It used to snow here religiously every year. (Actually, I remember being a kid and trick-or-treating in the snow on Halloween some years!) Alas, we haven’t been guaranteed a white Christmas for the past four years or so. Which is a crying shame, really…there’s just something about a blanket of white that makes Christmas feel so special....
Cranberry Flax Cookies {7 Days of Festive Holiday Treats}
A plateful of these little beauties is just the sort of thing that makes an ordinary afternoon in December a little happier. Picture this…...
Coconut-Vanilla “Honey” Syrup {7 Days of Festive Holiday Treats}
Today’s recipe for my 7 Days of Festive Holiday Treats is something that is perfect for gifting. It’s quite unique – give a festively wrapped jar of this syrup to a friend, then watch them read the label and their eyes light up as they exclaim Oooh, what is this?! The fact that it is as easy to make is it is exotic-sounding will be our little secret though....
