Y’all know I LOVE coffee cakes. What’s not to love about them? They’re sweet, tender and perfect morning, noon and night. I love to serve them on lazy weekends (that is, when I used to be lazy on weekends.:) I love to serve them with tea during the week. But I also love to serve [...]

The time is now to bake everything and anything with ginger in it. Not only is it the perfect holiday treat, but it’s also the perfect comfort food. Ginger has long been associated with healing qualities, and I’d like to think these sweet little muffins keep the cold and flu bug away. OK, maybe that’s [...]

These scrumptious little pillows of sugar-coated chocolate are perfect for the holidays. They are gorgeous  cookies with a fudge-like interior, very similar to a brownie. Their crinkled exterior is achieved by simply rolling chilled cookie dough balls in confectioners’ sugar before you put them in the oven. As they bake, the surface crackles and the [...]

Hope everyone has recovered from the Thanksgiving Holiday! I finally am…after my entire family was hit with the flu, not once, but twice, I have to say it has been a challenging few weeks around here. But all the while I was dreaming of getting back into the kitchen to do some hard core baking. [...]

Are you on the list to bring a treat for your kid’s Thanksgiving class party? If so, this treat is your answer. My Dairy, Egg and Nut Free Pumpkin Cupcakes with Dairy Free Cream Cheese Frosting is perfect, and I promise it’ll beat anything you’ll buy at your grocery store. I always love to bring [...]

Sorry for the song lyric reference (does anyone know Funkoar anyway?) but it was the only thing I could think of when starting this post. For the first time ever, I’m going to post our family’s favorite dinner recipe. I posted on my Facebook today that my children’s all-time favorite Bolognese sauce was simmering on [...]

Pumpkins are everywhere these days. It’s fall and usually that means it becomes the signature snack or treat in restaurants, bakeries and bake sales. In fact, tomorrow I’m baking two pumpkin cakes for our school’s Fall Frenzy Cake Walk, as well as my pumpkin cookies for the bake sale. But for the past week, I’ve [...]

My neighbor showed up at my doorstep with a bag of gorgeous apples freshly picked from the apple orchard. I had no choice; I had to make a warm, slightly gooey apple dessert that is perfect for weekend snacking and after- school treats. This Dairy, Egg and Nut Free Apple Cinnamon Crunch Bars are a [...]

In the spirit of Rosh Hashanah yesterday I had to make this cake. It is a must for any Jewish holiday. And even if you aren’t Jewish, you must make this cake now, in the fall, with all the apples out in full force at the markets. Many of you who read this blog on [...]
