To kick off the new year we are lightening things up just a little. In an effort to help any who have resolved to cut a few pounds, we have cut out the fats for this treat. Don’t think that means less taste, though. This little serving of sorbet is bursting with flavor. Clementines are […]
Happy Friday! We are just a couple of days away from the New Year and up to our ears in holiday festivities and fun. This year has been especially fun. The boys seemed to enjoy Christmas more than ever. Our shopping was mostly done early and we were (for once) able to relax and really enjoy our time […]
The gifts are wrapped and the stockings are hung with care. We are ready for the big day and taking a little break today to share it with the kiddos. We didn’t want to leave you with no treats, though, so we compiled this collage of treats throughout 2011. You’ll find dishes to satisfy your […]
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 […]
This time of year is just begging for a hot cup of cocoa. The mere idea of it conjures up cozy conversation and hours of hanging out around the Christmas tree. Nearly any hot cocoa makes me happy. I spent most of my life liking what I knew. That was basic hot chocolate…not too thick, […]

The tartness of the jam goes […]
We are taking a little break this week to celebrate the holiday with our family. We hope you are enjoying yours, as well. We didn’t want to leave you with no treat to get you through, so we are offering up this holiday special… the chocolate-dipped citrus peel. As an added bonus we are […]
The chilly weather is making me very happy these days. Fall cleaning and preparation for the upcoming holiday season are underway. It’s time to polish up all those heirloom serving pieces and get the linens pressed. The stores are starting to fill with holiday goodness. One of my perennial favorites is eggnog. We don’t really […]
Are you ready for the holidays? I adore the holiday season. It is an absolute sensory overload for me. The sights, smells, and sounds are distinct and often tied to a memory that warms the heart. Of course, the tastes are high on my list of sensory experiences that make the holidays what they are. […]
I’ve got pumpkin fever. Nevermind that it is one of my favorite colors. Pumpkins are everywhere right now. I am dying to make some pumpkin cheesecake, whoopie pies, and more.
