The Cold, Hard Truth
Okay, okay, okay. Time to fess up. I always suspect I’m pregnant when my cooking and baking falters. The perfect chocolate chip cookie recipe? Totally flops. The cookies come out thin, greasy, and crispy instead of soft and chewy. So, here’s my confession. I’ve been trying–ever so trying–to start baking again now that the morning […]
Summer Fruit Johnnycake Cobbler
While I had those freshly picked red currants, I looked around for recipes to try using them and the other summer fruit I had on hand. I found several recipes I liked. I came across a wonderful recipe for Johnnycake Cobbler in my Baking With Julia cookbook. (Have you bought it yet? You should….) I […]
Aprium Sherbet
This might have to be revisited at another point. I really loved the flavors in this sherbet. It wasn’t too sweet. The flavor of the fruit really comes through. I did add a little almond extract and a little teeny, tiny bit of vanilla. Next time–no vanilla. The almond was a good addition. I even […]

Fizzy Limonada Suiça
I married a man who was born in Brasil. He introduced me to Limonada Suiça. And that is one of the reasons I love him dearly. Maybe you’ve had this drink at a Brasilian Churrascaria. If you haven’t, find one fast, you won’t regret it. To make traditional Limonada Suiça, I usually throw some whole […]
