delicious seasonal eats
As you know. there are SO many chocolate chip cookie recipes out there. And to those, I add what my family and I think is best gluten-free chocolate chip recipe ever. Now, I don’t say that lightly. I had almost given up all hope of making a truly delicious, chewy, marvelous gluten-free chocolate chip cookie recipe […]
I’ve been meaning to share this recipe for Spiced Candied Orange Peel with you since November. November. That was…two months ago! Can you believe it? The days are flying by. So, you might think this is a holiday recipe, and it is, my friends, but it is also a good anytime recipe. Citrus is plentiful […]
Sometimes there are foods that we love so much, but have never made at home. Gluten-Free Sticky Date Pudding with Toffee Sauce is one such food. Up until I married my husband, I would have never touched the stuff. Dates? I would totally wrinkle my nose and tell you that only my grandmother and […]
Thanks to Pamela’s for sponsoring this post. Cardamom is one of my favorite spices – a close second to cumin. During the holidays I amp up my use of cardamom because it not only feels appropriate, but necessary. :) These Chai Spiced Snowball Cookies are flavored with a good dose of both ground cardamom and […]
Cranberry Caramel Sundae. This is now a thing. A thing you will want in your life stat. The base is a very holiday-ish homemade ginger-cardamom ice cream and then there’s the cranberry caramel sauce. Can I be honest? I could skip the ice cream all together in favor of just the cranberry caramel. Every time […]
Patricia Wells is one of my favorite cookbook authors. Her book, Salad as a Meal, is one of my very favorites. Patricia teaches cooking classes where she lives in France.

Is there anything better than a basic French butter cookie? Yes. That is to say if you add a good dose of vanilla. These Double Vanilla Sables are those cookies. I call them “double vanilla” because the dough and the sanding sugar both have vanilla in them. The cookies have a rich, buttery flavor and […]
Folks, let me introduce you to what is quite possibly my favorite Thanksgiving dessert – Oatmeal Pecan Tart. Of course I always say that, don’t I? Every year we have try a new recipe and if it’s a huge hit, we add it to our yearly repertoire of traditional Thanksgiving fare. Back in 2006 I […]
You might be looking at this bowl of Pumpkin Butter Pecan Ice Cream and thinking I’ve just loaded it up with all of those scoops for the picture. And, honestly, you are right. However, I’m kind of willing to bet that between the two of us, my husband and I ate that much straight out […]
Lavender Panna Cotta with Honey Poached Pears is an autumn twist on a classic Italian dessert. About a month ago, I had a fabulous dinner with some fellow bloggers at Oasis Cafe in Salt Lake City. It was a wonderful dinner and great introduction to a restaurant I hope to patronize over and over. As […]
