To keep the dried fruit from being too sticky, I like to toss the trail mix with a small amount of sugar. Over half of the sugar falls to the bottom. So, this whole batch of trail mix needs less than 1/2 of a tablespoon of sugar.

Pistachio Crumbles up front… Snickerdoodles in the back The Snickerdoodle is a lovely all-purpose cookie. It’s a mildly sweet sugar cookie type base rolled in cinnamon sugar. Even though Christmas is a time for flashier (fancy & time-consuming to make) cookies, somehow a batch of these always find their way […]
Oven Roasting Coffee The air-popper method (Click Here) that we’ve been using is the best for method for a uniform roast. But, for large batches or times when you want to play with a more rustic roast, the oven makes an interesting alternative. This batch was […]
Juicers are fine. But, you lose all of that healthy fiber. If you enjoy some pulp in your juice, a powerful blender will do the job even better. But, you do need a blender with sharp blades and a strong motor. Carrot Apple Juice makes 2 glasses
Happy New Year! What’s a great way to doctor up out of season berries? Whip them into a salad. Sweet or savory, marinate firm, tart berries in a citrusy spirit, with a squeeze of lemon or just a sprinkle of sugar to bring out their flavor. It’s shockingly […]
These light, buttery and crumbly cookies are loaded with pistachio flavor. I’m a little surprised that the green color is so faint given the vividly bright green pistachios that I used. But, I still prefer this natural color to that of food coloring. Pistachio Crumble Cookies makes 3 […]

There’s more than a little bit of molasses in this recipe. A lot more. It dominates the taste with ease. And, that large dose of molasses adds a density to this gingerbread that gives it an Old English feeling. I’m on the fence. I think I like it.

Chocolate and caramel… two of my favorite things. And, yes, don’t say it. I know… I know. This recipe includes sweetened condensed milk AND corn syrup. Shocking! But, you’re only going to eat a square or two, right? You might consider this a lesson in self control.
I love these cookies. All of that great pumpkin & spice flavor is dished up in bite-sized packages. If you have a powerful food processor, you can incorporate the entire pumpkin (flesh & skin) into this recipe. Simply puree the roasted pumpkin until very smooth. Pumpkin […] |
