Isn’t that a nice word? Vindication. Loyal readers may remember last year and my insane candy-making experiences. Specifically, Anna’s Almond Roca. My beloved almond toffee gave me headache after headache last year, leading to a complete reliance on chocolate to round out my goodie platters. You can read about the […]

Not much
I still don’t have much to post about. Yesterday I did successfully make a truffle variation, but I’m not quite ready to share the method I used yet- it may need some tweaking. However, I can say that this year I bought some chocolate molds- and it makes a fantastic […]
Things that make you go…
Hmmm. I have to confess. I don’t have much to blog about today. I’ve been in such a streak with blogging, updating almost every day. And I’ve spent the last two days putting up Christmas decorations, and haven’t been cooking or creating. I’m officially sick of leftovers- although in the […]
Revisiting India
Back in September, Andy and I- along with some guests- sampled some Indian cuisine. It was amazing, to say the least. Andy had been leery about Indian food up to that point, and let me just say that he is now hooked. His parents have been visiting us this week, […]
A Little Re-Cap
Hey all. Thanksgiving was fantastic. A wonderful day and a wonderful dinner was had by all. And even though the food was (ahem) quite good, it really was the company that made the day special. So thanks all for coming! I wasn’t going to post food pictures this morning because […]
Happy Thankgiving!

A Last Minute Addition.
The other day Abigail was getting excited about Thanksgiving. Most of all, she’s excited about her Grandparents from Buffalo visiting, but then she started talking about the food, and she got really excited about pumpkin pie. Uh-Oh. Right there my internal alarm started going off. My decadent streuseled pumpkin pie […]
Turkey and Gravy
Before I get to my recipe today, I have just a few things to share. The first being that my second article is up today on Kids Cuisine, so check that out if you need some ideas on getting your kids involved in Thanksgiving. If you’ll scroll down there, you […]
Quick Post
A quick post this morning before I head out to finish my Thanksgiving grocery shopping. I’ll apologize now for the potential sporadic posts this week… but I will try and continue with my posting this week. This morning I wanted to share another salad that I have determined must be […]
The Other Pie
In addition to the pumpkin pie I already mentioned, I will also be making a Cherry-Red Raspberry Pie, and a Cranberry-Pecan Pie. I love pecan pie. Love it. It’s so rich though that after a slice or two, I’ve had enough. I’ve experimented over the years with trying to cut […]
Something Exciting!
Earlier in the week I mentioned that I had some news to share this week. Today I am proud to share that I have become a writer for a site called Kids Cuisine. Kids Cuisine is part of The Well Fed Network, and I am thrilled to be a part […]
The Obligatory Pumpkin Pie
Thanksgiving just isn’t Thanksgiving without a slice of pumpkin pie. When I close my eyes and think on Thanksgiving dinner, there are three musts. Turkey, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie. Those items are not optional to me. Today I want to share the recipe I use for pumpkin pie. Hands […]
