Another week, another soup! My favorite! This one is a good refrigerator dump – empty whatever you have in your fridge into the pot and you have one amazing soup! This one shines using the colors of Christmas, and is light enough to eat anytime of year. I used fresh cherry tomatoes today, but usually […]
Sugar cookies are easy to make. Cut-out sugar cookies are harder because you don’t want them to spread and need them to maintain their shape. But you also don’t want to eat a cookie that’s hard as a rock. There are lots of methods that help a cookie keep its shape, like precutting it and […]
If you search my archives, you’ll find that I love spinach. Fresh, frozen, creamed – you name it, I’ve made it. While frozen spinach is the easiest way to make creamed spinach (imho), using fresh spinach is a pretty close second. The addition of the egg yolks give this a slightly yellow tint, but that’s […]
I had some leftover ricotta after making a number of recipes this week, so I decided to use it to make these amazing lemon ricotta pancakes. They are zesty from the lemon and fluffy from the ricotta and the combination of the two make one amazing breakfast. I like to eat them with fresh fruit, […]
