Get ready to make yummy noises. This is, hands down, one of my very favorite sandwiches. The flaky, buttery croissant, the slightly spicy cream cheese spread, the maple-glazed turkey, a slight crunch from the spring greens and pecans… all topped off with whole cranberry sauce and a little sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper. I…
With the days getting shorter, us food phtographers/food bloggers have less and less time in the evening to take photos of what we cooked for dinner. More often than not, I save some of the meal so I can photograph it the next day. Once in awhile I think “hey, I’ll just stop being a…
Today I woke up feeling a little bit oogie and didn’t really want to get out of bed. Ho hum. I got up anyway, took a couple ibuprofen (maybe I need to buy a new pillow)…made a pot of tea… took a leisurely bath… and used some lavender scented moisturizing oil (that I usually scent…
It’s so great when a recipe just comes together the way you want it to. These little tea sandwiches turned out perfect. Just the right amount of everything to equal a great tea treat. These were good with my iced Grand Keemun, but I imagine they would be wonderful with just about any good quality…
Good morning! I’m headed out to the kitchen to start making our potato salad, sandwiches and a pie for our picnic today. We may end up enjoying it on the screened-in porch if it rains, but I’m determined to have a picnic, even if it’s not under the shade of a big tree on a…
What a wonderful weekend we enjoyed. Lots of great company, good food, and sunshine. I hope you all enjoyed your time with family and friends! Jeff bought a huge ham, so we have quite a bit of leftovers. I put some aside in freezer bags for our favorite Ham & Cheese Casserole, some for Monte…
This easy spiced ham is a real hit on Easter as well as Christmas and other holiday get-togethers. Back in 2012 when I posted this recipe, we were preparing for Christmas. I’m working on a few Christmas projects, cooking a cozy pot of chicken soup with sage dumplings, baking bread and doing some editing today…
Hello Lovelies! As I mentioned in my Apple Butter Oat Muffin post, I am having so much fun playing with all of this Demarle Silpat cooking/ baking stuff. I made these savory muffins to go with soup a couple nights ago and they turned out just as beautiful as the sweet muffins. The flavors remind…
I invented another sandwich! It’s exactly what I was going for. A grilled, cheesy panini with the flavors of autumn in every bite. The harvest apple jam and buttery, rustic bread are reminiscent of apple pie… thus the name. serves 2 4 slices rustic sourdough bread 8 slices maple glazed, roasted turkey breast, sliced thin…
I like to save all of the bones, giblets, wings, and necks from my turkeys and chickens so I can make homemade soups and stews. This is a frugal way to go and very flavorful. I decided to take a few pictures of the easy process so I could share it with you. This year…
