	Apple Tartlets by Sara Schewe Apple TartletsAfter my annual trip to the apple orchard, I’m always looking for new ideas on how to utilize those apples. There’s always an apple pie, which disappeared this year before I had a chance to photograph it, but luckily I managed to snap a few pictures of these tarts before they were eaten.Apple TartletsCut the butter into…	2 votes 952 views
	Grandma’s Molasses Roll-Out Cookies by Sara Schewe Grandma’s Molasses Roll-Out CookiesThese cookies are a holiday staple in my family, though I always wish to have them more often. I generally refrain, however, from baking them more than once a year, so they retain their holiday magic.They are so darn tasty that my aunt had to hide them in the trunk of her car to keep them out of her…	3 votes 1 review 1 comment 1627 views
	Pumpkin Whoopie Pies by Sara Schewe October is by far my favorite month of the year. The leaves are changing, the air is crisp, and turning on the oven brings a welcome warmth to the home. We are experiencing below normal temperatures (it feels more like late November than mid-October), yet the meteorologists insist winter will be warmer than usual where I live.I’ll…	2 votes 1218 views
	Coffee Crunch Bars by Sara Schewe After the holidays, I spent some time perusing old food magazines, especially the winter issues. I found this recipe from Molly Wizenberg’s column in Bon Appetit, and the bars sound fun and tasty, and I was ready to try something different.I almost had all of the ingredients, but because I only had light brown sugar, I added just a…	1 vote 826 views
	Chocolate Mousse by Sara Schewe When I was in sixth grade, everyone in the class had to bring in some sort of dish from various countries in the world. I have no idea how I scored France, though I suspect there was some begging involved. As a former French teacher, my mom had an arsenal of French recipes, and this was the one we chose. When I brought the mousse into…	2 votes 1183 views
	Happy Valentine’s Day! by Sara Schewe I seem to be making a habit of baking red velvet cupcakes for Valentine’s Day. Last year, I used this recipe from Throwdown. The cakes were tasty, but I wanted to try something new this year, so I turned to a recipe I saw last year on Pinch My Salt.I had a few chocolate chips left in a pack, as well as a container of heavy cream in…	1 vote 840 views
	Gougéres by Sara Schewe I first started playing with choux dough back in college. At the time, my idea of cooking involved a bag of frozen mixed vegetables and a sauce packet. My roommates and I would cut up chicken, then stir-fry the chicken, add the veggies, add the sauce, and let it simmer for a bit. Whomever wasn’t involved with the stir-fry would take…	1 vote 800 views
	Soupe Savoyarde by Sara Schewe For my next installment of French country cooking, I wanted something fairly simple, yet seasonal. This winter vegetable soup seemed perfect.I had to trek to a couple of grocery stores to find celery root, though around here that’s not all that surprising. This soup is perfect for a cold winter’s night, and it will warm you up night…	1 vote 757 views
	Pear Tatin by Sara Schewe Does dessert get any better than caramel and puff pastry?I made this dessert almost a year ago after watching an episode of The F Word (Gordon Ramsay’s show). This was pre-DSLR and natural lighting (there’s not a whole lot of natural light to be had around here in the middle of winter), so the pictures won’t be the prettiest, but you…	2 votes 1382 views
	Peanut Butter Crispy Bars by Sara Schewe Peanut Butter Crispy BarsHere’s a recipe from the archives. By my estimates, most of you weren’t yet reading when I first posted this recipe, but it’s so decadent and rich, that I just had to share it, what with the holidays coming up and all.When I say these are rich, I’m not exaggerating. You’ll probably want to cut them into small,…	2 votes 998 views
