Biscotti di Natale al Cioccolato.

I trust all my readers (and followers) had a wonderful holiday. I certainly did. I’m not done celebrating, though, more gifts (and food- god help me) are coming next week when I have my belated holiday celebrations with extended family & Jay’s family. However I got my “main” gifts- and in addition to two beautiful [...]

My cookies are exotic (get your mind out of the gutter).

A couple of months ago, my dear friend Lyns sent me a bottle of Rose Water in a package of liners, etc. Ever since I got it, I’ve been trying to decide what to make with it (it came with a recipe for Vanilla Rose Rice Pudding, which I will make someday, I just wanted [...]

Because everyone needs MORE cheese this time of year.

I hope you all had a lovely Thanksgiving yesterday. My holiday isn’t quite over yet, as I’m celebrating part two tomorrow.
And as if broccoli gratin &  lasagna (in addition to turkeys, stuffing, potatoes, etc) weren’t enough for my 2 Thanksgivings this year, I decided to make cheddar dill scones as well. I’ve been tossing the [...]

Aprons & Apple Cider donuts.

Before I go ANY further with this post, I have to show you all a gift I received from my friend Yoyo (You remember her? She runs topstitch.org and has an Artfire store? Hayley Williams from Paramore got some of her handmade stuff at a meet & greet? She’s totally awesome and has her own [...]

Woof, woof.

So I mentioned awhile back the Just For Fun Dog Show I was donating homemade dog treats to, and Yoyo donated some handmade dog blankets to. Well it was supposed to be on September 12th, but it was postponed due to the rain, so it was actually on September 13th in Cedar Creek Park and [...]

Biscuit doughnuts.

What? Yes, donuts made of biscuits. In the words of Homer Simpson: “Mmm… donuts.” Does it matter what kind? No. Glazed, chocolate, Boston Cream, cinnamon, powdered sugar, who cares. Everything is better with doughnuts. Or donuts if you prefer to spell it that way.
One of my favorite ladies in the world and one of my [...]

Catch-a yourself some focaccia.

I have to say it here, once and for all: I do NOT like Lidia Bastianich. I don’t know her of course, but she irritates me just by watching her show. Her recipes are wonderful, I’m sure, but the lady grates on my last nerve. This is the first I’ve made of her recipes, although [...]

The perfect pizza.

I decided the other day for Meatless Monday that I’d try out a new pizza dough recipe. I don’t eat that much meat, really, during an average week, and when I do, it’s chicken. I’ve pretty much cut out red meat for the most part, yes, I still cave in for a good, thick, juicy [...]

Get sconed. Or, chocolate chip scones, part deux.

I’m a huge advocate of getting sconed.
Getting sconed basically means realizing the wondrousness of scones, and then eating said scones until your stomach pops or you want to throw up. Last year I made really good chocolate chip scones, and told all about my love for scones with chippery of chocolate. Even though that recipe [...]

Bom-bom-bom, bom-bom-boloni…

During the duration of the making and eating of these fried balls of yum I came to the conclusion that ‘bomboloni’ is an incredibly fun thing to say. I also came to the conclusion that bomboloni is mother-effing scrumptious.
“What the hell is bomboloni?” you may ask. Well, you uneducated fool, bomboloni is a fried dough [...]

Daring Bakers’ Challenge: Apple Strudel.

The May Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Linda of make life sweeter! and Courtney of Coco Cooks. They chose Apple Strudel from the recipe book Kaffeehaus: Exquisite Desserts from the Classic Cafés of Vienna, Budapest and Prague by Rick Rodgers.

I don’t like apple strudel, to be quite honest. I like apples, but this goes back [...]
