Go then, eat thy bread with joy and drink thy wine with gladness. Eccl 9:7
There are two things I love about this recipe: 1) It can be made all in one pot so there are fewer dishes for all my fellow chocolate-craving, backache-ridden mommas-to-be. 2) If you get tired halfway through and decide to quit, you still have delicious…
When serving vegetarians, people regularly try to make up for the fact that they are missing meat. Often, I will be served absurd quantities of side dishes- oh you don’t want the chicken, here you must need twenty rolls instead. Sometimes, it comes in the form of…
It has been a very long time since I lasted posted, and (unsurprisingly) a lot has happened. My husband and I are expecting our first child in October! It is a very exciting time for us, and the first trimester was a roller coaster of…
The term fudge in the title here is key. These are chewy brownies, not cakey brownies. I don’t have any problems with boxed brownie mixes, I usually enjoy them. We didn’t have any boxed brownie mix around the house, but we did have the ingredients…

Several weeks ago, I found myself sitting across from my sister at an Alabama restaurant as she savoured every piping hot bite of a delicious French onion soup. Of course, it contained beef broth so I was stuck staring rudely. With every sip, I knew…
Pinwheels are a classic winter cookie like gingerbread men and thumbprints- they usher in the Christmas season! This recipe was truly a shot in the dark when William and I created it. We had some extra dough while making cucidati this season so we decided…
