Pat-in-the-Pan Shortbread Crust
I hate–not abhor–making rolled pie crust. Not because I don’t love the flakiness of the final product, because I do. I hate the process. Ugh. Not a talent I possess. My mom’s Dutch Apple Pie recipe uses a pat-in-the-pan crust that is very good. So, why not for other pies? (I’d been wondering for years.) […]
Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff
I have to preface this recipe by saying that it was one that I sort of, maybe, kinda made up along the way. And to be down right honest…..that’s how I cook most of the time. Glad I finally got that out in the open. That’s why there are more dessert recipes than anything else […]
Have You Tried: Celeriac?
You may have never heard of celeriac, or it may be one of your favorite vegetables. In any case, this knobby, ugly root is probably one of the most delicious vegetables you will ever eat. Underneath the tough skin is a smooth, creamy flesh with a flavor reminiscent of parsley and celery. More popular in […]
Celeriac Potato Au Gratin
When I first tried Celeriac a few years ago, I was smitten. I love the flavor. I loved the texture. I just loved it. I was at a restaurant somewhere in the Flatiron District in Manhattan at a little chic restaurant. I ordered a yummy steak and it came with a perfect square of Celeriac […]
Valentine’s Menu
Some friends and I were discussing what to make for a special Valentine’s dinner. Why not start now? Really it’s only ten away! And what is better than staying in for a beautiful dinner and snuggling up on the couch for a movie with your sweetheart? At least that’s my idea of a great Valentine’s […]
How To Make Homemade Caramels
I originally posted this back in November of 2006, but I figured if you are a new reader, you may not have seen it, and it’s that time of year again! Every year my mom would make homemade caramels. If I was lucky, she would let me stir it while it cooked. I loved the […]
Banoffee Pie
My dear friend, Jenni, posted about Banoffee Pie awhile back. I’ve been thinking about it and hearing about it off and on ever since. I knew I needed to try it. And since it was a Sunday night when I first made this, I decided it was time to resurrect Sunday Night Desserts. And then […]
Slow Cooker Cassoulet
Cassoulet…..maybe you’ve heard of it, maybe you haven’t. I saw a cooking show all about Cassoulet awhile back and I knew I had to try it. My first real taste of it was a few weeks ago at Buffet de la Gare where my husband and I ate to celebrate our anniversary. Their version (see […]
My Wedding Cake
This was my wedding cake that I made five years ago today. My baking skills have come a long way since that day. I was an adventurous 21-year-old and I thought, “Why not? How hard can it be?” All it took was a little research and patience, and voilà! (It actually took weeks of planning.) […]
Phyllo Cups with Brie, Preserves, and Pecans
I first made these when I catered a wedding reception two years ago. The groom’s mother had tasted something similar at a farmer’s market and asked me to recreate it. This is what I came up with. Time and time again, it has become a favorite of many. Brie is one of the key players […]
