What is life without a little sweet treat every now and then? I’m a firm believer when it comes to the saying “everything in moderation” and “balance is everything”. Here is my moto: If you’re going to have something dieters would consider a little “naughty” it might as well be worth it, but it doesn’t […]

I don’t know about you, but even though the holidays are over I’m busier than ever. It’s the first Monday of the new year and like many of you, I wanted to start it on the right Tory Burch ballet flat. What better way to detox from all of that champagne and whatever was eaten […]

If you haven’t already noticed I’m a huge fan of crostini, especially for cocktail parties. It’s colorful, easy to eat and there are so many different variations. A New Years Party doesn’t require intensive recipes or large meals, but a few hors d’oeurves will make sure your guests are able to ring in the New […]

I cannot believe that New Year’s Eve is only a few days away. I mean really, where did the time go? We just got done planning our Christmas parties, right? To me New Years Eve involves champagne, glitter/confetti and finger foods. But they have to be simple because NYE is one of those special days […]

It’s Christmas Eve and I just took homemade cinnamon rolls fresh out of the oven. Gooey, sweet and bursting with cinnamon flavor, these pastries are everything you could want, all rolled up into that perfect pinwheel shape. Topped with a thick layer of cream cheese frosting, they are so delectable… I bet Santa wouldn’t mind these […]

It’s cocktail time and thanks to my friends at Stonewall Kitchen I’m serving up some delicious snacks and cosmopolitans. There’s nothing more delicious than Stonewall Kitchen Red Pepper Jelly paired with creamy havarti cheese and their crisp Sea Salt Crackers. Oh yeah – and the Bar Snack Mix is pretty fab too. I can’t decide what […]

It wouldn’t be Christmas without making frosted sugar cookies. Although time consuming, the finished product is worth the time and mess! Every time I make these I am covered head to toe in frosting, and days later I am still finding sprinkles in my kitchen. I used to frost the cookies with a knife, but […]

The trees are decorated, the stockings are hung and now it’s time for one of my favorite parts of the holiday season, baking. Cranberry and orange are two of my favorite seasonal flavors, but they’re more often found in breads and cakes, not cookies. I took the same flavors from my favorite cranberry orange bread […]

Every Who down in Whoville liked Christmas a lot, But the Grinch, who lived just north of Whoville, did not. The Grinch hated Christmas — the whole Christmas season. Oh, please don’t ask why, no one quite knows the reason. It could be, perhaps, that his shoes were too tight. It could be his head […]
