Well another fantastic Thanksgiving has come and gone. This one was extra special, since it was our first one (and first holiday!) at the shore! On Wednesday morning I packed up the turkey and seemingly half of my kitchen and headed to the shore. I had to make a not so brief stop off at [...]

This is another fantastic recipe to add to your Thanksgiving Day this year. Notice I didn’t say “Thanksgiving Dinner Table” because this bread is so good, and so versatile, you can basically have it any time on Thanksgiving. Breakfast–check. Snack–check.

With a few glasses of wine in me, I boldly proclaimed, “you know, I can MAKE marshmallows!” Not that I had ever made marshmallows, but I had seen people on the internet do it, so I was [...]

No dinner party–even one with a spectacular pork loin as the main–is complete without a really fantastic dessert. Yeah, I know I don’t need much of an excuse to reach into my *fancy* dessert file, but I wanted to do something really special for new years. Remember my favorite recipe source this holiday season, Martha’s [...]
