Refreshing Blood Orange Sherbet
This blood orange sherbet is easy to make and incredibly refreshing to eat. I’ve lost count of how many sherbet recipes I’ve adapted from the original Cooks’ Illustrated sherbet recipe. It’s such a great recipe. I hope you enjoyed Friday’s Cantaloupe recipe from Amanda. My husband was drooling over it. I actually made this sherbet back […]
Root Beer Cookies
A long, long time ago when I was a little girl, my mother’s good friend brought us a plate of Root Beer Cookies. Clearly it was a memorable day because since then I have personally made these cookies probably a hundred times. They are one of my family’s favorite cookies now that I have […]
Pizza with Goat Cheese, Caramelized Onions, Leeks, and Fresh Herbs
Remember when I posted a recipe last summer for a Leek-Goat Cheese Tart? My new favorite pizza is a take on it. I went a step further and caramelized the onions and leeks. OH MY. We’ve eaten this quite a few times over the last few weeks. I simply cannot get enough. We also grated […]
Cantaloupe Sherbet by Guest Amanda Waddell
I love connecting with readers. Amanda left a comment a few weeks ago about adapting a recipe for sherbet using cantaloupe. I asked her if she’d share her lovely picture and recipe with you. Yay! She agreed. Thanks, Amanda! This sherbet, adapted from Lindsey’s Strawberry Sherbet recipe, practically screams summer. Delicately flavored, it turned out […]
Mini Pavlovas with Yogurt Cream and Mixed Fruit
My trek to cooking club didn’t pan out last night. My sweet little red-headed baby has been coming down with a cold and yesterday it finally hit full force. She was coughing so hard she threw up on me three times. Poor thing. I know how miserable she is because she caught that cold from […]
Banana Cream Pie
Pie is not my favorite dessert. I like it, I just don’t love it the way I love creme brulee or ice cream. Or cheesecake. Or chocolate chip cookies. Pie is pretty near the bottom of the list–one step above panettone. That being said, I actually do love banana cream pie. It surpasses my love/hate […]
Spring-Summer Menu #12: Baked Tilapia, Rice Pilaf, and Roasted Asparagus
It’s time for me to resurrect the popular Spring-Summer Menu series I started last year. (For past menus click here.) I picked up a few pounds of pencil-thin asparagus this week at the grocery store. Tonight we just roasted it with a little olive oil. (On Saturday I’m making a Spring Vegetable Risotto with the […]
TWD: Coconut Butter Thins
I was looking at my archives a few days ago and realized that almost all of the cookies I’ve posted about on here have been for Tuesdays With Dorie. Dorie’s cookie recipes are so good. And I haven’t had to do much thinking–just look in her Baking book for all my cookie needs. Coconut Butter […]
Faux-caccia Bread
Don’t you love the name of this post? My husband coined it last night as I was complaining that what I made was essentially thick, herbed pizza dough. See? It doesn’t look like what you’d normally call focaccia. Ah, well. Live and learn. But, it was very good, I’ll tell you. The kids and I […]
Oatmeal Molasses Bread
So I saw this funny thing somewhere on Twitter a few days ago. It was a website for a cookie diet. (Let me see if I can find it…ah, here it is. Click here.) I’ve been on that diet for a long time. It doesn’t work. Cookies for every meal does not help you lose […]
