Chanukkah Sugar CookiesChanukkah Sugar CookiesAlthough I am someone who loves to bake all kinds of cookies, I rarely make decorated sugar cookies. In fact, before this week, the last time I made decorated sugar cookies was for my childbirth class reunion when my son was 6 weeks old. A crazy undertaking with a 6 week old baby, I know.

Pumpkin PieIn my mind, it wouldn’t be Thanksgiving without pie, often several. And one of those pies has to be pumpkin. Creamy and lightly spiced, it makes the perfect end to a turkey dinner, especially when topped with cinnamon ice cream. Over the years I have made different versions of pumpkin pie, but it is hard to objectively compare one… |

Heavenly Bakers: Baby Chocolate OblivionsAs someone who always loves a good flourless chocolate cake I was excited to try this week’s Heavenly Cake Baker recipe, Baby Chocolate Oblivions. The recipe called for the cakes to be baked in silicone cupcake pans, so I decided to use silicone rose pans about the same size and was thrilled with how they turned out. I ended up… |

Mexican Chocolate Ice CreamMexican Chocolate Ice CreamSometimes great recipes come about by accident. I was experimenting with making cinnamon ice cream using a mimiccreme base and the custard turned out tasting very egg-y with almost no cinnamon flavor. Never one to throw out food that could be salvaged I threw in pinch of this and a few ounces of that. The… |

SoHo GlobsSoHo GlobsIn my ongoing effort to bake more from recipes I have collected, rather than always seeking out new ones, I decided the time had finally come to make these cookies.
