Ratatouille Tart

Are you scrambling to use up all of the summer veggies you possibly can like I am? After all, in the words of Eddard Stark, “Winter is Coming!” If you are, ratatouille is a great dish to make; you can take out several of those veggies in your fridge in one fell swoop. I have……

Strawberry-Rhubarb Crumble

This Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble is the perfect fruity dessert for summer with a wonderful balance of sweet and tart flavors! The crumble topping adds an irresistible crunch, and the whole thing can be prepared ahead of time, refrigerated, and baked when you are ready to serve. [amd-recipeseo-recipe:7] Yum, strawberries. I am so excited for this……

Pizza Margherita

I made this pizza a while back when I had a severe pizza craving, but didn’t want to give in to the grease of Domino’s. I’m not saying that this pizza is particularly healthy or diet food, with all of that mozzarella… but it’s better for you than delivery, tastes better, and is ridiculously easy……

Peanut Butter Kiss Cookies

Post 11 of 12 in my 12 Days of Christmas Recipes Series – Peanut Butter Kiss Cookies Oh hey look, another day that I pass over the “healthy” or “low-fat” option in my blog post categories. I know, it’s shocking! I seriously think that I’ll be posting nothing but salads in January. Not by choice,……

Christmas Sugar Cookies

Post 10 of 12 in my 12 Days of Christmas Recipes Series – Christmas Sugar Cookies I know that I have posted a recipe for sugar cookies before, but that was forever ago. A lifetime. Back when this blog was a “youngin.” A whole 5 months ago! *sniffs* Seems like just yesterday… Anyway, I’ve been……

Chocolate Crinkle Cookies

Post 8 of 12 in my 12 Days of Christmas Recipes Series – Chocolate Crinkle Cookies These cookies are similar to brownies with a slightly crisp “shell” and chewy inside. The crackled presentation is remarkably easy to obtain, and the outer layer of powdered sugar gives just enough extra sweetness. To make approximately 20 cookies,……

Almond Orange Biscotti

  Post 7 of 12 in my 12 Days of Christmas Recipes Series – Almond Orange Biscotti This recipe marks my first attempt at making biscotti, and I think it turned out pretty well if I do say so myself! Each stick of biscotti turned out slightly larger than I intended, but I did manage……

Chocolate Mint Chip Cookies

Post 5 of 12 in my 12 Days of Christmas Recipes Series – Chocolate Mint Chip Cookies These cookies are the essence of Andes Mints in cookie form, according to my husband. You could use chocolate chips instead if you aren’t a fan of Andes mints, or white chocolate chips, or walnuts, or… you get……

Chewy Spicy Ginger Cookies

Post 4 of 12 in my 12 Days of Christmas Recipes Series – Chewy Spicy Ginger Cookies Yes, two adjectives ARE necessary in order to express the title of these cookies, in case you’re wondering. These cookies, I have to say, turned out magnificently. I love a spicy ginger cookie, and with three types of……

Cinnamon Palmiers

Post 2 of 12 in my 12 Days of Christmas Recipes Series – Cinnamon Palmiers The first palmier cookie I ever ate was at a Chinese restaurant. Weird, huh? I’m not quite sure why palmiers seem to be a dessert buffet staple at Chinese restaurants, since the cookie is actually of French origin. I’m not……
