Irish Hot Toddy
So, I realize that I have mentioned many times already how long this winter has been, but now it has finally gotten to me…it gave me a wonderful cold complete with frogger like voice and a cough that doesn’t want to go away. I don’t know how you are with colds, but I generally try…
Truffle Oil Pizza with Olives & Gruyere
This is a homemade fun adventure of a dinner. From making the dough to sauteing the mushrooms to taking that first warm, savory bite, the only thing missing is your own wood burning pizza oven…unless you have one. As we all know, and it’s not the first time I’ve mentioned it this year, but it…
Greek Sandwich Wrap
As much as I love the detailed meal with a marinated tenderloin or slow roasted bird, I sometimes can truly appreciate a meal that is simple, takes virtually no time and is just as yummy as those times you spend the afternoon in the kitchen preparing a meal for friends and family. Irregardless of how…
Experiment with Fondant
The desire to play with fondant had been growing and the thought of decorating a beautiful or fun or funky cake was almost too exciting to stop thinking about. My usual perusal through foodie websites and flipping through shows like Cake Boss and Extreme Challenge on TV only encouraged this desire. As everyone knows, I…
A Steak Dinner for Two

Rosemary Glazed Carrots
There is nothing too fancy to write here except that these are yummy and a quick and easy side dish to prepare. It goes well with simple, elegant dinners…such as the Grilled Steak and Arugula Salad. Rosemary Glazed Carrots Ingredients: 1 Cup of baby carrots 4 Tbls salted butter 3 Tbls brown sugar 1/4 tsp…
Triple Chocolate Biscotti
Ok…admission here… I have been on a bit of a Biscotti kick lately. It’s crunchy, sweet, yummy and goes perfect with that morning coffee, or afternoon coffee or late night coffee. Plus, there is something about it that seems like a little bit of an extravagant treat on any otherwise normal day. I can totally…
Green & Gold Cupcakes
Work pot lucks always brings out the creativity in me. I know that there are show stopping items that are quick and always are a big hit — like Katie’s Taco Dip (not me Katie, another Katie)…and I will be putting that on here some day. But this particular Sunday was the Superbowl and I…
Yogurt Cardamon Cake
In a pinch, this cake is a go to quick and incredibly moist and tasty dessert. The recipe began with the Yogurt Cake, which can be thrown together in under 5 minutes and baked in another 40 minutes. This cake has been made more than once and is a hit with kids. To shake things…
