Thanksgiving is now in the past but my kitchen is still full with the foods from yesterday’s dinner. I had a great sandwich today with turkey and cranberry sauce on rustic bread. Just absolutely delicious. I also had too much leftover pies-mincemeat,apple,and pumpkin with real homemade whipped cream. It seems that once I take a [...]

Just thought I would post some more chocolate cookie recipes now that the holidays and the cookie baking season are here. Does that season ever go away? I think not. Enjoy these recipes. The whoopie pies are an old family recipe (which means I probably have a lot of relatives out there), the mint bars [...]

Today is the first holiday of the season. It is a day of remembering and being thankful for what we have-and we all have lots to be thankful for. I was feeling a little sad this morning with most of my family being miles away. Then I saw a TV segment on GMA about a [...]

I have a couple favorite recipes that I usually make each year.  Fudge also makes a great gift for those [...]

“One not only drinks wine, one smells it, tastes it, sips it and – one talks about it.” King Edward VII English Monarch Another rainy November Saturday, what a perfect day for another visit to a winery for sampling. I ventured out with my friends Phyllis and Jane to Sharpe Hill Vineyard in Pomfret, Ct. [...]

It’s the time of year for rich treats, foods and beverages that most would try to avoid any other time of the year. (Once again, for the record, it’s okay to indulge if you don’t do it constantly. On days that I know I’ll be having a decadent dessert I try to limit starches and [...]
