Full disclosure, this is not a recipe post. This is just an amazing dessert you can create with your leftover pie. It’s the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and I’m sure you have your Thanksgiving menu and your eating pants all ready to go. Truthfully I already have more winter holiday spirit than Thanksgiving spirit today, but…
Apple Cider Hot Toddy
Though I’m always eyeing vintage brandy snifter sets, I don’t actually love brandy. Love the glasses, don’t love the alcohol. Or so I thought. But recently I’ve had a few cocktails that have included brandy and I’ve loved them. Enter calvados. For those not familiar with it, calvados is an apple brandy made in…
Salt Roasted Pears With Caramel Sauce
I’m sure it’s clear by now that I am a huge fan of snow and cold weather. So it should come as no surprise that I’m loving the recent winter weather. But I do kind of feel like I missed out on fall. October was so warm and now it’s suddenly 27 degrees and I’m…
Espresso Cocktail
Today’s Sunday cocktail is a perfect brunch cocktail. People seem to be down on brunch these days, and I can’t really understand why. We spend our weekdays running around, somehow finding time to do the things we have to do and trying to squeeze in time for the things we want to do. In that…
oven baked pancake
One of the many reasons I love living in New England is the plethora of weekend trip options. Just drive an hour and a half and you could be in the mountains, on the beach, in the countryside, or in a city. We took advantage of that fact back in October and had a fun weekend…
Amaretto Sour
This throwback to a late 90’s/early 2000’s favorite is so much better than the amaretto sours of my early 20’s. Back in the day, I was a huge fan of drinks like Midori sours, mudslides, and of course, amaretto sours. Back then, I had no idea that you could make sour mix at home, or…
Samosa Pie
I already raved about my love of fall last week, but I just can’t stop. Fall brings so many wonderful things, and near the top of that list is the return of baking season. From mid-October to sometime in April, our oven is pretty much always on. All summer I live in anticipation of the time…
Tarragon Vodka Gimlet Cocktail
Cocktail Sunday’s are back! A vodka gimlet is probably not the first thing that comes to mind when you imagine a fall cocktail. You probably imagine something with bourbon or apples, right? I love more typical fall cocktails as well, but this tarragon vodka gimlet really hits the spot. This cocktail tastes bright and fresh,…
Cider-Caramelized Apple Bundt Cake
Yikes, it has been a long time since I last posted! Except for the lack of baking and cooking, we had a great summer. The weather was actually fairly pleasant and we had a fun trip to Italy, France, and Spain. We saw some beautiful places, ate a lot of delicious food, and enjoyed a…
BLACKBERRY GIN FIZZ COCKTAIL
Sorry for the unexpected delay in posting! We’ve been away for a few weekends and I haven’t been able to take pictures of the food I’ve been making. But I did manage to take some pictures of this lovely blackberry gin fizz cocktail. It’s a little more involved than a typical cocktail, but it’s really…
