Meringue Swirl Cookies

December 25, 2016

This morning I just finished cleaning up after hosting my Fiancé’s (yes, we’re newly engaged!) family for Christmas- it was lovely. And the cleaning up doesn’t bother me at all (granted, I had help which was appreciated!). The sense of accomplishment and enjoyment from feeding others definitely outweigh the constraints of ...

16 Holiday Cookies You Haven’t Tried Yet

November 8, 2016

The holiday season wouldn’t be the same without cookies. This applies to whatever holiday you celebrate! I always try to make the classics- shortbread, gingerbread, biscotti, rolled cookies and many others- but somehow, I always seem to make them all at once. Is it just me, or does everybody try to make 6 dozen cookies in one evening? I ...

First off, let me make this clear. The dog in these photos, Saxo, is not mine. But he has been living with me for the past three months. He actually belongs to my parents-in-law, and for the short version of the story, we’ve been taking care of him! And, because he isn’t mine, I get to spoil him. I take him on long walks in the ...

Ground Cherry and Pistachio Hand Pies

October 14, 2016

Ground cherries are completely under-appreciated. You would probably recognize them for their natural paper-encasing, beautifully tuliped to protect the fruit inside. Peel back that papery shell and you will find a golden round bulb that tastes a bit like a pineapple but with the texture of a tomato. Are you curious yet? I love snacking on ...
