How to make creme fraiche at home

April 19, 2012

I used to think crème fraiche was all special because you can’t find it in some grocery stores and the price just screams fancy to me. Then I learned how to make it at home and realized that it’s all a big hoax. Making crème fraiche is just as easy as making a bowl of [...]

Easter Eggs

April 8, 2012

This Easter, I’m not doing the usual egg hunt thing. I’m not roasting a lamb. I’m not holding secret conversations with an imaginary bunny about what he needs to put in my basket. Honestly, if my husband weren’t on spring break, and I didn’t have to work, I wouldn’t even know that it was a [...]

Coconut ganache-filled chocolate cupcakes

April 5, 2012

Come Easter time, are you a coconut egg or a peanut butter egg kind of person? For some reason, in adulthood (as some choose to call it), I’m gone full coconut. Peanut butter was a thing of my youth…and last Friday. I’m sure a homemade Mounds bar is somewhere in my future, but today I [...]

Irish Affogato with Chocolate Bailey’s Whipped Cream

March 16, 2012

What is the greatest thing about St. Patrick’s Day falling on a Saturday? You can begin the day as God intended–with an Irish coffee. Usually I find myself finishing the night with an Irish coffee, which doesn’t make much sense at all (never mind that I’ve probably consumed enough alcohol to obliterate any effects of [...]

Colcannon Pi(e) with Bacon and Chives

March 14, 2012

The first thing my math teacher husband said to me this morning was “Happy Pi Day.” He even said it earlier than he’s been known to say “Merry Christmas” or “Happy Birthday,” but who’s keeping track? Today is a math holiday, and there will be games played in class. (At least I hope he’s that [...]

Cookies and Cream Semifreddo (aka Mandatory Oreo 100th Anniversary Post)

March 6, 2012

Although I’ve missed several holidays, food recognition days, and other special occasions throughout the life of this blog, I feel that it would be remiss not to post on this truly monumental anniversary–100 years of Oreos. Really, where would our world be today without Oreos? Would women be voting? Would man have walked on the [...]

Cranberry Sherbet for my Valentine

February 14, 2012

My husband and I are like Jack Sprat and his wife. He eats hardly any fat, and I eat very little lean. He thinks dried fruit makes everything better. I prefer cream. He finishes my sentences. I finish his dinner. Somehow we make it work. So this Valentine’s Day, instead of chocolates or a fine [...]

Pretzels with Joy the Baker: PA meets LA

January 30, 2012

Hailing from Pennsylvania, I love me a good pretzel. It’s almost required. From the moment they sign your birth certificate, you are destined to eat more pretzels than out-of-staters would think humanly possible. Oh, it’s possible. For humans of all kinds, but mostly for the hearty folk of PA. So when I saw that the [...]

Dirty Snow Pie

January 23, 2012

I’m a little confused about whether it’s the official National Pie Day or whether that happens on March 14. Although my husband, the math teacher, is firmly in favor of March 14, I say, why can’t it be both? So in honor of this great day in history, as well as the 5 inches of [...]
