Cinnamon Chip Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Cinnamon Chip Oatmeal Raisin Cookies by Jennifer Holman

Have you ever heard of cinnamon chips? I had heard of them but had yet to ever see them in a grocery store until a few days ago. My local Kroger had a big baking display for the holidays and they had all kinds of chips on sale, including cinnamon chips. I wasn't sure what I was going to make with them but I figured I should pick up…

Chicken Enchilada Soup

Chicken Enchilada Soup by Jennifer Holman

It’s cold and gloomy here which is perfect soup weather. Especially when that soup has a little heat of its own from some spicy jalapeno peppers. I'm not really ready for winter weather yet -- I held out as long as I could before having to turn the heat on but with temperatures getting down in the 30s and 40s, this week was the end.…

Kahlua Fudge Brownies

Kahlua Fudge Brownies by Jennifer Holman

These brownies are very rich and dense, definitely more fudge-like than cake-like. The addition of a half cup of Kahlua makes them an adult treat but you can replace the Kahlua with coffee if you prefer a non-alcoholic version. While the majority of the alcohol evaporates during baking, it's hard to determine exactly how much will…

A Fall Favorite: Pumpkin Cupcakes

A Fall Favorite: Pumpkin Cupcakes by Jennifer Holman

As I've mentioned before pumpkin desserts are some of my favorites. I didn't use to think so, I was never a fan of pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving, I always picked apple. But in the past couple of years, I have really developed a taste for pumpkin. I realized that maybe it was just the traditional pumpkin pie I wasn't a big fan of;…

Apple and Brie Melts

Apple and Brie Melts by Jennifer Holman

Last week I received this All-Clad griddle that I won over A Cozy Kitchen so naturally I had to try it out. I knew I wanted to make a grilled cheese sandwich but I didnt want to just make a regular grilled cheese. Then I saw a caramelized apple grilled cheese on Beantown Baker which looked awesome and I knew what I would do.…

Crock Pot Apple Butter

Crock Pot Apple Butter by Jennifer Holman

***Updated October 2010: I added cider to the recipe per a co-worker's suggestion and added a picture of my own -- you learn a little with a little more blogging experience, like remembering to take pictures when you want to blog something. I also increased the cinnamon and added a little nutmeg this time around.***Such an easy…

Champagne Cupcakes

Champagne Cupcakes by Jennifer Holman

These champagne cupcakes make a great treat for an adult party - be it an elegant party or a bachelorette party. You'll want to use a sweet champagne rather than dry, pink champagne would work too. You can play with the flavors by adding fillings or different icings. Add orange curd filling or orange-flavored buttercream for mimosa…
