I generally like to make different Christmas cookies every year. It keeps it interesting for both me and the cookie eaters. However, sometimes a cookie comes along that people love so much, it needs to be made year after year. That is what has happened with this brown butter spritz cookie. You will need a cookie press in order to make these cookies. You can get them at any store that sells bakery supplies, kitchen supplies and even some craft stores like Michaels. It should c

There are so many wonderful things about summer foods. First, we get to enjoy so many fresh ingredients with all of the fruits and veggies that go straight from the farm to our homes. Or better yet, straight from the garden. Farmers markets are filled with delicious food that you just can't get the rest of the year. Those strong, fresh flavors mean that cooking can be simple.

The last couple of years I have been repeating a recipe for Brown Butter Spritz cookies because they are so popular. I

I can't believe it has been a month since my last post. Where has the time gone? Life and my business have gotten very busy, which is wonderful, but means fun tasks like my blog fall to the wayside. This is a cobbler that I made for a dinner party a couple of weeks ago. It is a combination of a bunch of recipes into something that I liked best. You can use any fruit you like with this recipe (within reason) so if you don't like blueberries try something else. Feel free to als

I'm always looking for new desserts to make for my clients and I recently came upon this one. I'm not a big cake eater but I gobbled this right up. In true fashion for any cook, I took a couple of different recipes and combined them to make something that I thought would be best. These are so cute, colorful and easy to serve to each person. They keep fairly well so that you can make then ahead of time. The recipe below makes 24 of them, that way if a guest or family member re
