I hope everyone is starting their new year off right. I made only one resolution this year. That resolution is to use my vacation time. I'm not one to take days off. Not because I have some fetish for working all the time. There just doesn't seem to be the need. That's not an excuse. [...]
After all of the cooking I did for Thanksgiving, I wanted to slow down a bit. I need to anyway. I want to take a moment to talk about mental health and the holidays. Make sure to take care of yourself, first and foremost. I had too many things going on at once and had [...]
When it comes to pumpkin pie. My brother is a purist. Libby's pumpkin pie filling with a regular crust. I am not a purist. Making a regular crust gluten free is a pain. Since we are not having the regular turkey dinner at their place this year, I wanted to still make my brother his [...]
I still have one cup left of red wine. I've done two chocolate recipes, but now I want to see how far red wine will go. I'm taking a risk here. You don't see red wine in ginger or pumpkin recipes. At least for dessert. I have seen pumpkin braised in red wine and ginger [...]
Everyday I get more and more excited to move to the new house. I finished the painting of the last room. Flooring is in the process of being laid. After that, it's trim and adding in a few final touches. Then the big clean up. Tony added some electric to my makeup vanity in my [...]
The house is literally down to the home stretch. The amount of large projects is dwindling. I am finished with painting my bedroom in a color which I thought was going to be a warm gray. It ended up being taupe instead. When you are saving money on paint, there are bound to be a [...]
I decided to change things up on the dessert end this week. I will be making more ice cream, but I wanted to do something different. This week I started working some evenings on the house because we are getting close. The countertops are in the kitchen as well as a working sink and dishwasher. [...]
I've made pumpkin desserts and cranberry desserts. I have not made a dessert with both pumpkin AND cranberry. If they are both good on their own, maybe they would be great together. This is what I plan to make. I got the idea when I came across a recipe for Pumpkin and Cranberry Cake from [...]
I'm finally getting around to doing a pumpkin dessert recipe. It wouldn't be fall without at least one. I love pumpkin pie as much as the rest of you, but I save that for Thanksgiving. I also know there are more sweets made with pumpkin than just pie. I found a really interesting recipe from [...]
I will admit this week I chose this recipe because I wanted to do some beef stew and try some more things with my Instant Pot. I managed a solid second try with making almond milk yogurt. Still working on perfecting this. Using whole milk was easy to make yogurt with. Non-dairy milk, not so [...]
