	French 75 – An Elegant Champagne Cocktail for New Years Eve by Barbara Kiebel I wanted something a bit unique for New Years; something more than ‘just’ a glass of Champagne but not what has become my standard of adding Champagne to a liqueur either. I’ve done that a lot over this holiday season with the Cranberry liqueur I made. I love it but it was time for something new, something even more elegant.I believe…	1 vote 658 views
	Bacon and Caramelized Onion Tart and the Best of 2011 by Barbara Kiebel Hello and goodbye. That time of year when we look at the past 12 months and search for accomplishments and meaning and face toward the new year with both anticipation and maybe some trepidation. Did we accomplish all we wanted to; did we grow, provide, serve enough? Will we make changes to how we manage our lives and our time in the…	1 vote 558 views
	Cranberry and Croissant Bread Pudding with Champagne Zabaglione Sauce by Barbara Kiebel My grandparents are from all over; I’m a mixture of German, Scandinavian , English and Irish. So would someone please tell me why I love all things Italian? My theory is that a female in the family made a clandestine visit to Italy once, came home…	1 vote 660 views
	Grapefruit, Lime and Maraschino Martini by Barbara Kiebel The winter solstice this past year was December 21; when the sun reaches the most southerly declination. It marks the day of the year with the least hours of daylight; the official start of winter. Though we can certainly anticipate more winter weather in Colorado, for me the winter solstice also signals the beginning of the end; the…	1 vote 570 views
	Red Lentil Soup with Ham and Curry by Barbara Kiebel When I was growing up we never went out to dinner. With six kids I can imagine it would have been prohibitively expensive but more than that I can imagine my parents did not anticipate it as fun trying to corral all of us in a restaurant. Thankfully my mom was a good cook…though in retrospect I realize she really did the basics a lot.…	1 vote 710 views
	Cuba Libre – Not just a Cocktail but a Story of Bacardi, Coca Cola and Cuba by Barbara Kiebel This is a simple cocktail but it’s one of my favorites; simple to make and so refreshing it’s something I can drink year round. The truth is that long before I ever tried a Cuba Libre I was long hooked on Coca Cola with a slice of lime. Somewhere along…	1 vote 578 views
	Meyer Lemon Peasant Boule for #Baketogether by Barbara Kiebel After months of sweets and other indulgences, our wise #Baketogether leader Abby Dodge decided a simple bread would be something all of us might be craving. She was so right. When she said simple I couldn’t imagine any bread THIS simple. I’ve seen bread novices and talented aficionados alike claim the ease and never-ending…	1 vote 470 views
	A Classic Manhattan Served with Mushroom Paté by Barbara Kiebel I recently started working with The Daily Basics, an online lifestyle magazine where I’ll be their cocktail/appetizer contributor each month. Either a cocktail or appetizer will be shared here on Creative Culinary and the companion will be featured on their site. This month, I was inspired to make a Classic Manhattan, which became the…	1 vote 470 views
	Larimer Toffee Squares by Barbara Kiebel Larimer Square is a bustling street in downtown Denver, one of those chi chi one block streets that harken to days when cities had main streets and you could go there to find a gathering of merchants. It was in fact the first main street in Denver, born during the gold rush of the mid 1800′s when it was settled and named by General…	1 vote 420 views
	Scharffen Berger Chocolate Liqueur and a Valentine Martini by Barbara Kiebel I’ve done a lot of liqueurs lately haven’t I? Cranberry Liqueur and Coffee Liqueur for the holidays and in my case made to give to friends and family as holiday gifts. I’ve got Limoncello in my brewing facility (OK, garage) that will be ready for summer but for right now? How about Chocolate Liqueur made with Scharffen Berger…	1 vote 640 views
