Carmelized Banana and Mascarpone Cream Tuiles
After being crippled with fear over last month’s Yule Log, I breathed a huge sigh of relief when I saw January’s Daring Bakers Challenge- sweet or savory tuiles. Then I promptly forgot about them…until this morning. A quick kitchen inventory … Continue reading
Like Knitting With Mittens
When my husband came down with bronchitis, I knew I was in for it. Sickness hit me like a freight train and knocked me flat on my back for close to a week. Finally on the road to recovery, I … Continue reading
Oh Baby! Caramel Thumbprint Cookies
One of my best friends, my sister-in-law, is not a huge fan of sweets. While I always need to end a meal with a treat, she was content to satisfy her sugar cravings with alcohol. However, now that she is … Continue reading

Failure Is Not An Option
I woke up this morning with vague plans- go to the farmers market, go for a walk, start my taxes…holy crap its Tuesday! And not just any Tuesday, Tuesdays With Dorie Tuesday…the Tuesday that Dorie Greenspan herself picked the recipe!! … Continue reading
When Life Gives You Lemons
I may not have a lot of money, or stuff, or natural athletic ability, but I’ve got lemons. Lots of lemons. When friends know you cook, you got inundated with free produce (see zucchini crisis of ’08). Thankfully, this month’s … Continue reading
