There was something in the air on Sunday…you know what it was? That’s right …it was snow! I am torn on the subject right now. I love snow because it makes everything seem soft and beautiful all wrapped up in a white blanket, but sometimes after Christmas is over, it’s more like, ‘Stop snowing! I…

Bourbon Pumpkin Cheesecake
Some times I get lost in a sea of postings and recipes and ideas for cooking online. It can be over whelming between the ‘this looks good,’ or ‘I like the idea of this recipe,’ or sometimes ‘this looks really cool, but I’m not sure I want to eat that.’ Then there are times when…
Holiday Challenge – Week 2 – Mini Chocolate Pies
For the longest time I able to avoid Pinterest. Partially because I didn’t totally understand it right away and partially because I wasn’t sure that I wanted to have access to one more thing that would consume some more of my time. Well, about eight months ago I gave in, and I have to say,…
The Holiday Challenge – Week 1 – Home Made Whiskey Caramels
The holiday season is upon all of us and like the last few years, our house already screams Christmas. Both trees are up with lights on, but not fully decorated yet. The Christmas Village is rockin’ it’s light house, fire pit, carolers, B&B, Wine Shop and more. And the rest of the boxes and totes…
Mosaic Apple Tart
The simplest ingredients come together in something quite extravagant with this dessert. This tart will satisfy those who love desserts that aren’t too sweet with just the right amount of freshness. It is a bit of a labor of love to get the apples sliced the same size (thank god for the mandolin) and the proper…
Home Made Apple Pie

Although, I’m fairly confident in the kitchen, when it comes to something like Apple Pie, where it is well known to everyone and evokes such fond memories, I get a little nervous to create something new. You hear how everyone‘s grandma or aunt or mom makes the BEST apple…
Lemon Cut Out Cookies with Royal Icing
My mom starting something last fall which I believe/hope may become a tradition between the households. When she came to visit, she brought treats in a large Tupperware container. The next time she came to visit, I tried giving that container (emptied of goodies and washed) back to her, but she would not accept. She…
Rock & Roll Chocolate Cake
If there ever is a time you are in search of a good Chocolate Cake Recipe, you can stop looking because this is it. By far, the best chocolate cake/make it from scratch/stay moist for days cake I have ever had. I think it is the addition of coffee and since you have heard of my love…

Fondue for Fruit
Chocolate fondue is not just for dipping anymore! Alright, that was just me trying to be cute. But really, what could be easier than cutting up fruit, heating up some chocolate and combining the two in to a half healthy, sweet and creamy, undeniably chocolaty bite?! The answer…not much. There isn’t too much else that…
