Who loves French Toast – raise your hand! I don’t make it often, but French Toast is one of those breakfasts I vividly remember my dad making when I was a kid. My dad excels at breakfast-making more than any other meal, and I think it’s probably his favorite meal of the day too. When [...]

More often than not, I cannot leave well enough alone. Whether it’s where a vase sits in the living room, the recipe I can kick up a notch, or even the fonts on this blog – if I think about something for a little too long, I have to change it, make it better. A [...]

Lemon Crinkle Cookies

This isn’t so much the case in San Antonio right now (where it’s a balmy 68 degrees), but around this time in New Jersey, I start to go a little sunshine-deprivation crazy. I start to crave citrus, sunshine, and time outdoors – even though it’s usually in the 20s. That’s where these Lemon Crinkle Cookies [...]

James and I made our three and a half day trek from New Jersey to San Antonio, arriving just in time for the family’s Christmas Eve celebrations. I decided to take a little break and really enjoy my family. I’ve been having a blast [...]

Every year of my childhood, Nanny and Mom would set out to make several dozen of these little guys, and then into the freezer they would go. First to be eaten at Christmas, but we’d eat the leftovers all [...]

This is it, y’all. Crunch time. Normally I count myself in the few that has Christmas shopping done by October. This year? Not so much. In fact, I’ll fully admit that not four hours ago, I purchased the last of the gifts we’ll give this Christmas, and I really hope it reaches my brother-in-law in [...]

Christmas Tea Shortbread

Dec

Shortbread is one of those things I’m sort of a traditionalist about. I hesitate to even add vanilla extract, because I feel adding extra liquids to the perfect balance of flour, powdered sugar, salt, and butter would upset the natural order of things. So when it comes to adding flavor, I tend to look towards [...]
