Coconut Milk Scones (Vegan)

03 February 2012

When I was in college, I used to grab a cup of coffee and a scone in the morning before I head out to class.  I'd sit somewhere in the back of the lecture hall so the professor wouldn't see me and then I'd break off a piece of my scone and quietly eat it.  If I haven't finished it yet, ...

Coconut and Lime Macaroons (Vegan with Gluten-free Alternative)

23 January 2012

It's been a cold and rainy weekend and I'm not liking it too much. There was a little break of sunshine today but the clouds rolled back in by the end of the day. Tomorrow's forecast is even more rain.  This kind of weather just makes me want to stay in bed all day and dream about some ...

Golden Champagne Truffles

31 December 2011

Aren't these truffles absolutely gorgeous?  I thought I'd take some Champagne Truffles and dress them up for New Year's Eve.  I coated them with white chocolate and brushed them with some shimmery gold luster dust. They look almost too pretty to eat!  I got the idea to make these ...

Graham Cracker Gingerbread House with Marshmallow Icing

24 December 2011

I was picking up my son from school last week and he was admiring all the gingerbread houses that the 4th and 5th graders were carrying home. Son: "Wow! Mom, did they bake ALL those gingerbread houses at school today?" Me: "No honey, I think those are made out of graham crackers." Son: "Ooooooooh! ...

Holiday Candy Ideas

20 December 2011

My kitchen has turned into a mini chocolate factory. It's candy making time! For the past few days, I've been filling these boxes with all sorts of mouthwatering candies to give to my friends and family. Yes, it's been a little crazy in the kitchen and I'm sure my lack of sleep has contributed to ...

Red Wine Truffles with Dried Cherries

17 December 2011

I was trying to come up with a new truffle recipe this week and I remembered how much my grandmother Dolores loves Champagne Truffles.  I always send her a box every Christmas along with other sweet treats.  Last year, I actually made them for her 90th birthday celebration. This year, I ...

Cookie Exchange 2011 Roundup

11 December 2011

  Thank you, thank you, thank you everyone for sharing all your wonderful cookie recipes! To be honest, I was a little nervous about this.  This is the first time I've ever hosted a virtual cookie exchange and I wasn't sure if anyone was going to respond. My stomach was in knots for the ...

Not-So-Nutty Fruitcake Cookies (Vegan, Nut-free and Soy-free)

08 December 2011

I may have doomed these cookies for life by naming them after a much despised holiday treat.  And I know a lot of you will dismiss them just because of their namesake.  You might even think I'm nuts for picking such a horrible name for these delicious cookies, but I don't think so.  ...

Tutorial: Baby Elmo Birthday Cake and Cupcakes

03 December 2011

Photo Credit: Kristen Somera Guess what? My little boy turned two this summer and I still haven't written about his FIRST birthday cake.  How lame is that?  So what's my excuse?  Well, for one thing, I didn't get a chance to take any pictures during his party.  I was running ...
