The only biscotti cookie I've ever made is my mom's Twice Baked Walnut Cookies. Biscotti are fantastic and since I'm having a little tea/coffee get together tomorrow night, I thought a hard biscuity cookie would be a nice addition to my table. But, I wanted to try something new. I updated a typically bland cookie… Continue reading Spring Biscotti

Simple Egg Salad Sandwich
It is practically a requirement to eat egg salad sandwiches the day after Easter. Or for an entire week after Easter if you have lots of kids who collected gads of eggs. Funny story actually, at my parents yesterday there were LOADS of kids scurrying about collecting eggs (we have a big family). Candy filled,… Continue reading Simple Egg Salad Sandwich
Hot Cross Buns
Hot cross buns! Hot cross buns! One a' penny, two a' penny, Hot cross buns! If you have no daughters, Give them to your sons One a' penny, Two a' penny, Hot Cross Buns! That's right. The girls get them first! Lightly spiced, filled with flavor and pretty much the one exception to my raisins… Continue reading Hot Cross Buns
Perfect Hard-Boiled Eggs
It's Easter time and everyone is getting their eggs ready to be dyed, hidden, found and gobbled up. I've discovered a couple of things that help create absolutely perfectly hard-boiled eggs. You may be thinking "How hard can it be? Throw some eggs in some bubbling water, right?" Wrong! It's really a science. There are… Continue reading Perfect Hard-Boiled Eggs
No Hoo-Ha Carrot Cake
At various times in my life I have turned up my nose in disgust at carrot cakes. Seriously. Carrots? Those are a vegetable and I love them - they do not belong in cake. I compartmentalize my food. If I'm being "bad" and eating cake, I don't want to mix up that emotion with the… Continue reading No Hoo-Ha Carrot Cake
Classic Tapioca
My dad's absolute favorite dessert is tapioca. I remember once as a kid, my grandma made it for him and put it in a flower-pot. She covered the top with crushed Oreos and added gummy worms too. Why do I remember that so vividly? Probably because of my father's delight when he realized there was… Continue reading Classic Tapioca

Oh, I crack myself up...ok, enough with the egg jokes. The peanut butter mixture is very crumbly, add the milk until you can pick up… Continue reading Peanut Butter Easter Eggs
Dark Chocolate Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Frosting
Stop the presses. These cupcakes are divine. Simply amazing. I took a lick from the bowl after portioning out the batter and wanted to just eat all of it raw using my hands as shovels. The process for making brownies (melt butter and chocolate together slowly, then add to dry ingredients) is used here and… Continue reading Dark Chocolate Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Frosting
Zucchini “Crab” Cakes
I made these delightful "crab" cakes for my kids tonight so that my hubby and I could have Baked Salmon Cakes without worrying about my daughter's seafood allergy. Worked like a charm. Our dinner looked enough like theirs that there was no arguing or whining, and my 4 & 2-year-old chowed down on these cakes… Continue reading Zucchini “Crab” Cakes
Baked Salmon Cakes with Dijon Dill Dipping Sauce
I've been in the mood for salmon recently. It is incredibly troubling to me that my daughter is allergic to my most favorite seafood. As much as I love salmon, I'm not over the moon about the idea of having to cook two separate meals so Madison has something to eat while I enjoy moist,… Continue reading Baked Salmon Cakes with Dijon Dill Dipping Sauce
