With John Kessler’s cranberry salsa in mind, we deliberately bought two bags of cranberries this year. The first bag was used to make our traditional cranberry sauce. The second, we saved for the day after cranberry salsa. Now, we could have made this on Thanksgiving Day. But, we already had […]
The queen’s cookie… For breakfast with a cappuccino, for dessert with an espresso, or just eaten as a mid-day treat, these simple cookies satisfy without feeling overly decadent. Biscotti di Regina makes 45-50 1 cup butter, unsalted 2 cups 10X sugar 2 teaspoons vanilla […]
Christmas morning wouldn’t be complete without this gorgeous bread as a dining room table centerpiece. But, this lovely sweet bread is too good to make just once a year. Panettone 1/2 cup marsala or moscato 1 cup raisins 1/2 cup dried fruit (citron, apricots and/or candied […]
Frittata di Ricotta 1 red pepper, diced 1 green pepper, diced 1 onion, finely diced 4 cloves garlic, finely diced olive oil, as needed 1 lb spicy Italian sausage, sliced 24 oz whole milk ricotta 6-8 large eggs 1/4 cup Parmigiano Reggiano, finely grated 1 sprig basil, julienned […]
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.

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 […]
I confess. I’m not a huge fan of pumpkin pie. If I’m in the mood for an orange pie, I’ll pick sweet potato every time. When I’m cooking Thanksgiving dinner, pumpkin pie rarely makes the cut. I love pumpkin in and with pasta, pumpkin bread, pumpkin cookies, pumpkin cheesecake… you […]
My goal was to create a slightly healthier breakfast treat by substituting oatmeal for most of the flour. The oatmeal created a very dense and moist bar that we both enjoyed. For me, the flavor is identical to a traditional crisp gingerbread man cookie. Considering how fast they are disappearing, […] |
