We “traveled” to Italy last week for our family’s weekly #worldwidewednesday dinner and I was sort of on my own, Nate did make a delicious appetizer sandwich with prosciutto, mozzarella, arugula, tomatoes and balsamic vinegar. But Abbi was not going to be able to make anything so I picked Italy. I knew I could pull it off, Italian food does not have to be difficult, … Continue reading Italian Lemon Ricotta Cake
A thought came to me earlier this week about all the cookies I have made for our #worldwidewednesday meals and was curious how many there have been and how many I would and have made again because they were so good. Thinking how would a cookie around the world cookbook go? Could I do such a thing? Would people be excited for such a thing? … Continue reading Lime Cookies
I made this recipe a couple of weeks ago and I really loved the taste and that it made 2 loaves. We ate one and the other went into the freezer for a later date. I had everything on hand minus the buttermilk, sometimes I will buy buttermilk, if I have a plan in mind ahead of time. This week I didn’t plan ahead so … Continue reading Lemon Pound Cake
I made this pie last week for our #worldwidewednesday and HAVE to share it. It was SO good and I would totally make it again and again and again. But only if I had company over or was bringing it somewhere. It is too good to have on hand. A small slice is all you need and the whip cream definitely helps with richness of … Continue reading Kentucky Bourbon Pie
Current situation sitting on the patio playing all my word games on my phone, 1st load of laundry out on the line and it is SO peaceful out here. The guy that mows the field came early this morning, so he and his loud mower have gone. The only water feature I have (irrigation LOL) is running now so when the kids are here later … Continue reading Palmiers
I vividly remember the day that I fell in love with the combination of Cranberry’s, White Chocolate and Pistachios. I bet my daughter can say the same thing since we were both watching the Great British Baking Show and the contestants were making biscotti and one of them made theirs using these three ingredients. Neither of us had ever made biscotti before but it looked … Continue reading Cranberry-Pistachio Cookie Bar
I hope you check this simple sweet dessert out. It is really good, so much so I made this Tuesday and Yesterday! The name was confusing to me too so I looked it up. There are some conflicting stories so I am not entirely sure what to share with you but it tastes great and I think you should check it out. It it currently … Continue reading Huguenot torte – sticky apple pecan blondie
I will be making this again this year, I am hoping to get to it before the end of the day but I haven’t started moving yet and still have to go to the store. I think having a lazy Sunday on a day where I usually prep for things is not serving me very well this morning. If you are looking for something actually … Continue reading Mocha Yule Log aka Buche de Noel
We have had some really good food over the last year during our world wide Wednesday meals. Though a few months ago my daughter asked if we could change it to Tuesday’s. I don’t like it; she doesn’t like it but that’s when we are doing our family dinner; on a Tuesday. No matter the night, the fact that we can pull off a family … Continue reading Malva Pudding – A moist rich cake you will love
I hope you have a nice Thanksgiving with family and friends or however you spent your day. I kind of feel like I failed a bit; at least with the prep the day before process. I should have only left the dinner rolls and the turkey for Thursday. My morning kinda got away from me. I thought I had it under control but we were … Continue reading Apple Galette – Rustic Tart
