Valentine’s Treats: Red Velvet Bonbons
I love Valentine’s Day. And I love making treats for Valentine’s Day. When I think of Valentine’s, my mind immediately turns to Chocolate Truffles. I adore truffles. For a few years, I’ve been trying to get up the courage to start working with chocolate. This year I decided to take the plunge and make my […]

Happy New Year!
I’m still struggling to recuperate from a long, fun, exhausting two weeks with my husband on vacation from work and two of my three kids sick with various ailments. Not to mention all the snow we had here in the Beehive State over the holidays. Each year I try to set a few goals for […]
Review: Pie Dough with Vodka
(Note: I didn’t take how-to photos because I made the dough late at night and baked it early in the morning–not enough light. And because there’s already a great how-to over at Smitten Kitchen.) I remember first hearing about the “Foolproof Pie Dough” with the secret ingredient–Vodka. It sounded crazy until I really thought about […]
Pumpkin Pecan Pie (Thanksgiving Twofer Pie)
This pie…there are almost no words adequate to describe how wonderful it is. Dorie Greenspan calls this pumpkin pecan pie a “Twofer” Pie. Basically it’s pumpkin pie and pecan pie rolled into one. And it is genius! The pie consists of a buttery crust, followed by a a layer of thick, rich pumpkin pie […]
TWD: Arborio Rice Pudding with Roasted Pears and Bourbon Caramel and Candied Pecans
(Isabelle of Les gourmandises d’Isa chose Dorie’s Arborio Rice Pudding. Please visit her blog for the recipe.) Better late than never, right? I did actually make this on Tuesday, but only got around to posting it today. Let me start by saying that I am not a fan of rice pudding. Never have been. I […]
Caramel Pumpkin Pie with Pecan Streusel
Caramel Pumpkin Pie with Pecan Streusel is a revelation. I didn’t think I liked pumpkin pie until I had this pie. It has a deep, dark caramel flavor, which by itself would be enough. By itself, you find yourself asking where this pie has been all of your life. But then you have a slice […]
TWD: Chocolate-Chocolate Cupcakes
(Please visit Iheartfood4thought for the recipe. Great choice, Clara!) Last Tuesday as I was reading Tartelette’s post about her Bittersweet Chocolate and Cardamom Cupcakes, I knew I was going to add cardamom to my Chocolate-Chocolate Cupcakes for TWD. I have fallen head over heels in love with cardamom this past year and could add a […]
Look For It: Rainbow Carrots
I love, love, love October and November. The colors, the weather, the holidays….the food. One of my favorite Fall side dishes is roasted veggies–particularly roasted carrots. (Don’t stem them or boil them, please.) Next time you are in the produce section, look for a bag of Rainbow Carrots. I used to find them all the […]
