Adventures in cooking and baking.
These panettone muffins take the flavors of panettone (an Italian celebration bread) to create a flavorful and easy muffin.
These muffins include the delicious flavors of panetton while taking only a couple of hours from start to finish (mostly for soaking the fruit), and with less than 30 minutes of hands-on time.
These red, white, and blue pinwheel cookies are a tasty treat to make all summer long. With just five ingredients, they are fun to make and the colors can be adapted for any season or holiday.
These slice-and-bake cookies are not just cute and colorful, they are also very tasty and will disappear from your serving platter in a flash.
This Oreo Icebox Cake is the dessert you'll want to make all summer long. It's an easy make-ahead dessert and you don't ever have to turn on your oven.
With just six ingredients and less than thirty minutes, you can make this no-bake dessert. The hardest part is waiting a few hours for the refrigerator to do its magic and tranform the ingredients into a magical cake.
These Maple Pecan Madeleines are wonderful little shell-shaped sponge cakes brimming with the flavor of maple syrup and the crunch of toasted pecans.
These little cookie cakes incorporate two of my favorites, madeleines and maple syrup (plus toasted pecans). I love the combination of flavors and had a hard time stopping myself from eating them warm from the oven.
These oatmeal burger buns are wonderful for burgers, sandwiches, and anything else you might want to eat between two slices of bread.
These oatmeal burger buns are super soft, moist, and flavorful. They are loaded with whole grains, including rolled oats and whole wheat, along with brown sugar. There's also a sourdough preferment for even more added flavor.
These roasted Yukon Gold potato wedges are super creamy on the inside and crusty on the outside.
These potatoes are the perfect side dish for a steak or fish (as in fish and chips). I also love them stuffed into a breakfast burrito or topped with cheddar cheese and bacon.
This garlic and cheese naan is so soft and fluffy. It's stuffed with garlicky cheese and then cooked in a hot cast iron pan. It might become your new favorite bread.
While you can't see it from the outside, there is a handful of shredded and melted cheese stuffed inside each one of these little flatbreads.
These parmesan and thyme crackers are buttery, cheesy, and ideal for a cocktail hour nibble. They pair so well with a glass of bubbly, dry white wine, or an apéritif.
Are you planning a dinner party? These would be wonderful. Imagine a shortbread cookie... only it's not a cookie, it's a perfectly crumbly savory herb butter cracker.
This lychee martini is light, sweet, and refreshing. It is infused with the flavor of the lychee, a tropical fruit originally native to Asia.
I first tried this lychee cocktail about fifteen years ago in a bar in Toronto. It was so tasty that the first thing I did when I got home was buy a bottle of the lychee liqueur to make this cocktail at home.
