All the decorations and lights are up. The presents are under the tree and shipped to the far out loved ones we can’t visit this season. The only thing left to plan are holiday meals. I don’t know what it is but I don’t ever have the desire to put as much effort and sweat…

Cranberry Sweet Bread with Orange Glaze (Jingle Bell Bread)
I promised I would share some of my favorite holiday dessert recipes with you all. I have a note book dedicated to my baking scribbles stained with vanilla and butter fingerprints from me making constant changes as I go. More sugar here, less flour there. Let’s talk cranberries. I love these little red tart suckers….
Red & Green Velvet Peppermint Chip Cookies
I contemplate daily the type of home cook I am. More so, what type of website and business I am presenting to the public. Is it one of theory or feeling? In cooking both exist. In creation both exist. You can’t have one without the other. The best idea for me is to not choose;…
Pumpkin Spice Donuts
Go nuts for these homemade donuts! Forgive the sugary frenzy of recipes I have been sharing as of lately. My intentions are to share as many of my favorite holiday treats before they arrive. See I have good intentions. My intentions are as tasty as they are good. The one thing that adds to the…
Taffy Apple Cookies
In the spirit of autumn, apple picking, and farm fairs I am pulling this trick out of the oven. Taffy Apple Cookies bring the goodness of orchards and baked goodness to your home. The caramel, fresh apples, and nuts perfectly capture the essence of a good and sweet taffy apple. They also will give that…
Biscuits & Berries
Coming to you live from my kitchen nook/office space with this warm, tart, and sweet baked good. It screams afternoon coffee, cottage fireplaces, and oversized sweaters. There are a lot of recipes out there that call for biscuits from scratch. While I am usually the first to argue everything is just better when it’s made…
Brunch Mac
Can we talk comfort? All this time and space we are given due to circumstances and comfort still escapes us. So we look for it in shapely glasses of wine, in music, in 5 minute coffee breaks, in people, in food. Im focusing on the oven baked comfort of mac and cheese this week. The…
Apple Pear Crumble
Hey all you cool cooks and kitchens! These past few weeks have been… I’m not sure there’s one word that suitably describes all the developments captured and imprinted on our minds and souls via the news, social media platforms, and other outlets. It seems a bit shallow and detaching for me to not mention the…
Cajun Instant Seafood Pot (with Guinness)
Usually I bake my seafood, throwing everything on a sheet pan and shoving it in the oven. In an effort to keep the house cool on a warm day I decided to use my glorious instant pot. This pot is a magnificent modern day machine. I tickled myself with the thought of a show prefaced…
Creamy Shrimp Orecchiette
This recipe is the chorus to my summer seafood song. As mentioned in my previous post I am dedicating this week to light seafood recipes that are match worthy for this season. It wouldn’t be right if shrimp didn’t make the cut. It probably will make it in several posts this week because of its…
