	Holiday Fruit Preserves by Sara Schewe Did you know there are only five states in the US that grow cranberries? Besides my homestate, Wisconsin, cranberries are grown in Massachusetts, New Jersey, Washington, and Oregon. Because cranberries are native to Wisconsin, I’m able to get local cranberries every year.For the holidays last year, I wanted to try something new in my…	3 votes 1285 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
	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
	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
	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
	Easy Pantry Lasagna by Sara Schewe I generally don’t keep much food in my pantry, simply because I don’t have much storage space. But I always have on hand a few cans of assorted tomatoes, a few onions, garlic, and a box of no boil lasagna noodles. If you’ve never used the no boil noodles, try them! Assembling the lasagna used to be a bit of a chore, what with dealing…	2 votes 1488 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
	Small Batch Cupcakes by Sara Schewe Cupcakes are a favorite sweet treat of mine, but I’ve often shied away from making them because all of my recipes yield at least a dozen little cakes, if not more. I’d find myself purchasing the bakery cupcakes from the grocery store and cringing when I looked at the ingredient list (partially hydrogenated shortening, anyone?). I also…	2 votes 1152 views
	Tomato & Goat Cheese Tarts by Sara Schewe When I first received my copy of Back to Basics, I knew that someday I would make the goat cheese tart. I mean, it has some of my favorite components: puff pastry, goat cheese, caramelized onions, parmesan, thyme…add a glass of wine, and life is perfect.I originally made this recipe last year for the Barefoot Bloggers, which I was…	1 vote 895 views
