Last year I noted that my daughter knows me well; she gave me a subscription to Bon Appetit for Christmas. And she did not disappoint this year either as I received a copy of Martha Stewart’s “Cookies” cookbook from her. Before I got dressed on Christmas morning, I already had a batch of Martha’s Chewy [...]

Chocolate Crinkles
Chocolate crinkles are one of my favorite recipes for the holidays. They are like little tiny brownies covered in snow. Yum! These are seriously good with a big glass of milk. They are pretty for an assorted tray and also fill up a tin quite nicely as well. This recipe makes multiple dozens (mine made [...]

Eggnog Bread
The kids are home, the guests are in and we are in full-fledged baking mode around here. Flour is flying and the aprons are on (and being put to good use I might add). There’s something very comforting about a sweet bread. Whether it’s for breakfast or for an afternoon snack with hot tea, a [...]

Sugar Cookie Recipe
Here is a recipe combo that I have been making for years, my favorite sugar cookie recipe with a wonderful sugar cookie glaze. For all those years, I made these cookies but could not seem to find a nice glaze recipe – one that was easy, pretty and dried hard enough to allow the cookies [...]

Raspberry Ribbon Cookies
If you’re looking for a cookie recipe that will look gorgeous on a tray and will WOW! your friends (for both beauty and taste), this is your cookie. I don’t believe I have ever taken these cookies to a party and brought any home. I particularly love these because they all bake up on one [...]

Shortbread Cookies
Is there anything better than shortbread cookies and a cup of hot tea? I think not. I had a Christmas party to go to last night and wanted to take a treat for one of my fellow book group members. Each year we have a Christmas Party and exchange books. Unfortunately, this year one of [...]

Cooking for a Crowd | Meals You Can Make Ahead
When it comes to entertaining, are you the kind of person who welcomes it or the kind who panics? I must admit that I do both. I love having large get-togethers but often panic during the planning stages. Will there be enough food? How do I know how much to make? Will it be done [...]

Easy Appetizer Recipe
Here’s a cheeseball recipe that I thought I’d pass along. It has some unusual combinations – namely strawberry preserves. But we’re going to give it a try soon(see edit below). Let me know if you make it and what you think! Edited later – I made this for a party last night and it is [...]

Chicken or Turkey Pot Pie
Wondering what to do with that leftover turkey? There’s nothing better than a homemade chicken (or turkey) pot pie. Especially when you have leftover turkey that is already cooked! The kids were home from college for the Thanksgiving Holiday weekend and this is one dish that my oldest always requests. You can add whatever vegetables [...]
