Let’s face it, sometimes the most exciting part of the meal are the hors d’oeuvres. Chefs have to be both more meticulous and creative, because they only have a bite or two to make the flavors shine. More often than not, chef take advantage of this challenge and […]
A classic Southern banana pudding made with alternating layers of vanilla wafers, bananas, and made-from-scratch custard flavored with vanilla and bourbon.
I love having easy recipes up my sleeve for when we run out of a traditionally store-bought item, like bread. My favorite homemade bread recipe is certainly not as quick as picking it up from the store, but is easy to make, delicious, and much […]
Happy November! (And Happy Halloween yesterday!) In honor of all the kids who trick-or-treated last night, and even the dedicated parents I saw who dressed up, too, I decided to post a treat – Maple Pecan Pumpkin Biscotti, aka autumn sweetness in your mouth! These are […]
So…I was getting a little creative with some over-ripe bananas I had on hand. Naturally, I thought of banana bread, but it just didn’t seem right to go with a classic banana bread seeing as it is the prime season for spices galore! With that in mind, […]
Well, it is Valentine’s time again! I know so many people have mixed emotions about this holiday, but we should all look on the bright side – it is a perfect reason to have your cake and eat it, too! This dark chocolate cake is […]
