I am always seeing recipes for different flavors and saving them, but when it comes down to it, my family loves this one and always wants this one, so this is it.

Rhubarb Sour
When I was growing up in Indiana, we had a bunch of rhubarb growing right outside our house. I need to try planting some here in North Carolina and see if it can grow. I love rhubarb but have a really hard time finding it here in the south for some reason. There is aContinue reading “Rhubarb Sour”
Pasta with Mushrooms, Brown Butter and Sage
Let’s be honest, this time of year gets a little bit insane. I love making holiday food and spending time with my kids, but things can get a bit hectic. This pasta with mushrooms, brown butter and sage is a super simple and is perfect for a night like tonight, when I am not upContinue reading “Pasta with Mushrooms, Brown Butter and Sage”
Chocolate Almond Spice Cookies
I saw this recipe on the Milk Street instagram account and I haven’t made cookies similar to this before so wanted to try them out. The recipe says they are based on Basler brunsli cookies, which are Swiss holiday cookies. I have never had those, so can’t compare to these, but I liked the ideaContinue reading “Chocolate Almond Spice Cookies”
Apple Cinnamon Crumb Muffins
Mini muffins are so much fun to make. They make the perfect sized snack and they fit so well into kids lunches. I use my mini muffin pan so often. Most variations store really well in the freezer too, so you can make a big batch and then pull them out of the freezer oneContinue reading “Apple Cinnamon Crumb Muffins”

Veggies with some char from the grill are one of the best ways toContinue reading “Chicken and Veggie Kabobs”
Kaiser Rolls
Kaiser rolls are a hard, crusty type of roll often used for sandwiches. I like to use them as burger buns too because they are very sturdy and can hold up to lots of toppings. You can’t have too many toppings on a burger in my opinion. If you want to make the classic spiralContinue reading “Kaiser Rolls”
Cherry Old Fashioned
The cherry old fashioned is a twist on a classic old fashioned using Heering cherry liqueur. We had a bottle of Heering I wanted to use, so this seemed like a great cocktail to make. It is a very simple mix of whiskey, Heering, and a touch of simple syrup. I had some orange syrupContinue reading “Cherry Old Fashioned”

I have made this homemade toffee as long as I can remember. It it crunchy and buttery and sweet and delicious. The toffee and chocolate are a perfect dessert combination. You only need 3 ingredients to make it (4 if you want nuts), and the process is super easy. This homemade toffee makes a greatContinue reading “Homemade Toffee”
