Chocolate-Orange Cookie Dough Truffles

January 11, 2010

Like a lot of people, I love cookie dough just as much, if not more than the cookies that result.  Eating cookie dough straight up, however, tends to get a bad rap.  Either you’re getting scolded for consuming raw eggs or you’re considered a glutton that you cannot wait for the cookies to bake to enjoy [...]

Lightened Tortilla and Butternut Squash Soup

January 5, 2010

When meandering around the blogosphere it’s hard to avoid the signs that it’s time to choose a New Year’s Resolution.  To many, this tradition can become clique or even, dreaded.  I personally love it because it’s a time to start anew and reach for your goals.  Each December I look forward to crafting my list, [...]

Fromage Friday: Bethmale Review

December 25, 2009

Merry Christmas everyone.  Even though the holidays are upon us I still wanted to share with you a great cheese.  This week’s cheese is Bethmale, a raw cow’s milk cheese from the Midi-Pyrenees, a mountainous region south of Toulouse, France  near the Spanish border.  It’s a semi-hard cheese with a lovely washed rind that surrounds [...]

Peanut Butter Blossoms

December 23, 2009

A few years back I went to a holiday cookie exchange with some girls from my college sorority. What was amusing about this particular cookie exchange was that the majority of the attendees brought one of two cookies: Chocolate-Oatmeal No-Bake Cookies and Peanut Butter Blossoms.  The No-Bake Cookies were new to me, but the [...]

Fromage Friday: Di Stefano Burrata Alla Panna Review

December 18, 2009

This week’s cheese is Di Stefano Burrata Alla Panna.  Burrata is a fresh Italian cheese made from mozzarella and cream.  Staring back at me from the Whole Foods cheese case, this cheese looked like a present wrapped in green ribbon, which seemed to resemble banana leaves.  It wasn’t what I came in for, but having [...]

Brown Sugar-Vanilla Bean Scones

December 17, 2009

I love having dinner with other food bloggers because you end up relating over things that may seem silly to non-bloggers.  One thing that often comes up is the fact that sometimes we just want to dig into our food and not stop to take a picture first.  Usually I show restraint and manage to [...]

Cream Wafers and Other Holiday Baking

My holiday baking has officially begun in earnest.  Last week I baked up some sweets for my holiday care package for Operation Baking Gals.  There was Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread baked in in jars and homemade plain and chocolate graham crackers that I dipped in dark and white chocolate respectively.
And this weekend I added to [...]
