Happy New Year to everyone! It is hard to believe 2013 has already arrived, but as we move into this new year, it is always fun to check back on the year we just completed to see what the most popular recipes were for that year. The recipes are in order of popularity, and although there are some surprises, most recipes are ones I love myself so I understand why they are indeed popular. To see the entire recipe, simply click on the image as it revolves through the slide... Read the whole entry »
Each Christmas we try and make a special holiday drink for the adults to enjoy, and this year I decided a Pomegranate Margarita sounded good. We have been buying pomegranate juice in the big bottles lately, and I add a splash to every glass of water I drink and love the tangy goodness it adds to every glass. Since we are in Florida for the holidays, a nice tropical drink hits the spot, and the tangy flavor of pomegranate was perfect in this margarita. Although this was a great Christmas drink,...

Salted caramel seems... Read the whole entry »
My family will be arriving in just a few days for the holidays, and with a house full, I try and have lots of treats on hand. The grandkids all love muffins and quick breads, so I’ve baked some of each that are now carefully wrapped and stored in my freezer waiting for everyone to arrive. One new recipe I made this year that I really enjoyed, was this gingerbread loaf. It has a rich, deep flavor that tastes just like the gingerbread cookies I love so much, and I added a cinnamon glaze and... Read the whole entry »
I’ve always been a huge fan of gingerbread, and love the scent of gingerbread cookies baking in my oven. Although I did make a batch of my usual buttery gingerbread cookies to decorate this year, I also decided to add these spicy ginger cookies this year and really love how they turned out. They have a crisp exterior due to the fact you roll them in turbinado sugar, though the interior is much softer. The flavor is reminiscent of traditional gingerbread, and these cookies are delicious... Read the whole entry »
