We have dedicated each Treat of the Week this month to chocolate. The first week we gave you Chocolate Hazelnut Mille Crepe and last week, one of my all-time favorites… truffles. This week we lighten things up just a bit with a light and airy meringue base for our dessert. It makes the perfect backdrop […]
Valentine’s Day brings with it an overabundance of chocolates for you to consider… including chocolate truffles. Every candy maker on the planet fights for shelf space to showcase their red and pink dressed confections. Specialty chocolate shops manage lines of would-be lovers purchasing sweets for the sweet. Today’s treat of the week is going to […]

Don’t make this cake if you are simply following the original recipe which doesn’t highlight some of the pitfalls. And, for goodness sake, don’t […]
In the first grade, I lived above the hardware store at the corner of State and Main. It was the only intersection in our small town with a traffic light. The school was just a few blocks away and I walked every day. In the winter I would tap a stick on the sidewalk or along fences […]

There is very little fat involved and all those egg whites are loaded with protein. Still, I suppose moderation reigns supreme. Angel food cakes scare off some folks. If you haven’t made one before, […]
This week we are wrapping up summer break around our house and getting ready for back to school. The boys are excited and anxious. There are many new experiences ahead… and lots of studying. In an effort to keep the positive momentum going, we decided to throw a little ‘new year’ party. My wife and I imagined how […]

The author shares her love story with her husband from His and Her perspective. It is a terrific blog that I know you will enjoy. […]
