Christmas Goodies and The Food52 Cookbook Winners

Lazy Mary’s Lemon Tart [Gluten-Free]: Food52 Cookbook Review & Giveaway
Our third and final recipe from The Food52 Cookbook review was a sweet surprise considering there is and entire lemon in the mix. Yes, that’s right, no zesting or juicing required—remove the seeds, trim the ends, and you are ready to go. Lemon lovers that we are, we used regular lemon in place of the [...]
Embroidering a Cake with Sprinkles [via Clockwork Lemon]: Feature Fridays
In my kitchen, picking thyme leaves is considered tedious, though worthwhile. Sorting sprinkles? Now, that takes the cake in the realm of tedious cooking tasks (pardon the pun). I imagine Stephanie at Clockwork Lemon knows like few others the reward of cooking labor when she completes a work of art like this. Yes, an embroidered [...]
Pumpkin Whoopie Pies with Cream Cheese Caramel Filling [via Hoosier Homemade]: Feature Fridays
Yes, we are still on a pumpkin kick, sure to last until sometime close to Christmas. I must confess I am not a big fan of whoopie pies … So why feature this post? Because when I saw this photo on Pintrest by Hoosier Homemade it made me think of my friend, Rebecca, who LOVES [...]
Labor Day Eats: Feature Fridays
Labor Day became a federal holiday 117 years ago, marked by parades and parties recognizing trade and labor organizations. Today, families enjoy one last vacation before school starts, NFL and college football seasons begin, and backyard parties abound. If entertaining or creating a dish for a potluck is on the agenda for this three-day weekend, [...]
Key Lime Cheesecake: Freshly Squeezed

For his birthday a few months ago, it was New York-Style Blueberry Cheesecake, and for Thanksgiving he wants Pumpkin Cheesecake … are you noticing a theme here? He always appreciates my efforts, so it is easy to oblige. When it is a special occasion, [...]
Peanut Butter Pie ~ Tell Someone You Love Them: Feature Fridays
Fridays usually bring features of lighthearted food notes, but this week something meaningful warrants attention. In recent weeks, the food community gathered around Jennifer Perillo after the sudden loss of her husband, Mikey. I do not know Jennifer personally, but I do know loss and grief intimately and my heart breaks for her and their [...]
Grilled Peach & Vanilla Bean Crisp
It is the last week of the Fine Cooking Grill-lympics Challenge and it’s wild card week. This Grilled Peach & Vanilla Bean Crisp was inspired by this challenge and the fact that August is peach season here in the Rockies. Beyond grilling, my goal was to create a dessert without refined sugar and gluten-free, so [...]
Zucchini Ginger Cupcakes: Test Kitchen Tuesday
Perusing stacks of old cooking magazines, I picked up the July 2006 issue of Gourmet noticing Zucchini Ginger Cupcakes was dog-eared, perfect for Test Kitchen Tuesday. Ginger and orange are well-matched, the zucchini is sure to keep the crumb moist, these are a must-try. My plan is to convert it to a gluten-free recipe I [...]
Cheesecake Strawberries with Chocolate Accents
My first introduction to the concept of filling a strawberry with the flavors of cheesecake was featuring a post by Nutmeg Nanny many Fridays ago. When I finally got serious about making these little gems for a bridal shower, there were tweaks to the recipe I could not resist—lemon zest is a must in cheesecake—and [...]
