This is my favorite pie crust recipe that I use for all of my pies, sweet and savory. This recipe can be done in either a food processor or a mixer equipped with cookie […]
What do you do when it’s hot outside? You make cinnamon rolls. That’s what I did with my little girls today. I kept seeing recipes for cinnamon rolls, and it made me decide to work on developing a new yummy, but basic recipe that was reasonably fast. I won’t claim that they are 1 hour
Years ago, (not in the 1800’s), I started to collect recipes out of old magazines. My little ones accidentally threw out all my pasted papers except for a few. This is one of the recipes I found – Make 1800’s Shortbread! This shortbread is the easiest recipe in the world to make, it melts in your mouth
We love lemon cookies, especially lemon shortbread Christmas cookies! These are great for an afternoon treat with coffee and conversation! This lemon shortbread cookie recipe is the best we’ve made. They give just a twang of lemon that melts in your mouth. You definitely need the icing to make them a perfect lemon taste, so don’t skip it!

October is my favorite month of the year. Chilis and soups go with October like peanut butter and jelly. I’ll pretend that we aren’t having a warm streak as I say that. I have made this white chicken chili twice in the last week and a half, it is so good! I love two things
This cookie of chocolate, caramel and shortbread is irresistible! Salted Chocolate Caramel Shortbread To make this even easier, I bought a 5lb block of caramel like a crazy lady. I’ll use it all this season, I’m sure. Our choice shop for so many speciality items is King Arthur Flour. Two ingredients in this recipe, Peter’s
Pumpkin Spice Whipped Cream. Made at home with sweetened whipping cream and spices. How could you not love something so simple as that? I love going to the grocery store at this time of year. So many yummy flavors of the season in foods and drinks. I noticed the pumpkin spiced whipped cream the other
Let me introduce something wonderful to you. Homemade spreadable butter. Isn’t that gorgeous? So light and creamy, it’s begging for a muffin. Or Banana bread? As much as we love butter, it’s hard to face a piece of toast in the morning with hard butter that won’t spread. Pancakes are worse. The more natural spreadable butters
Every now and then Josh and I will get Glazed Lemon Cake (Lemon Loaf) from Starbucks. We love glazed lemon cake, and while it’s good, I’m always thinking I can make this way better. So I did. Homemade always wins! It tends to taste like real food… and look so pretty too. It has one ingredient
