Okay, okay, the hiatus is over. I’m back. My first recipe post in 2-3 weeks, yikes. I’m in the mood for coffee these days, heaps and heaps of coffee. Busy work, longer work days, less daylight, chilly weather, they all inspire me to reach for that second (or third) cup’a’joe of the day. And what’s…

These cookies are a slight variation of the ones I posted here, but the sugar has been altered, creating better spread and crispier edges. In my opinion the perfect cookie (chocolate chip or otherwise) is crispy on the edges and slightly soft in the center. A cookie that is soft all the way to the edges disappoints…

My kind of Thanksgiving weekend. Today I share…

So, I’ve been in battle this week. A battle against red aphids on the chili pepper plants. I’ve tossed one plant and sprayed the other one with soapy suds in hopes that it’ll come through. It literally looks like someone’s taken a pair of scissors to the leaves in some spots and just chopped…

No long history or fun and exciting story here- Tiramisu is possibly the most well known Italian dessert (to North American’s anyways) and it’s only been around since the 1960’s.
