This Blood Orange Spread recipe is adapted from “Sarabeths’s Good Morning Cookbook” by Sarabeth Levine. Sara made a Mandarin Orange Spread, but I choose to use Blood Oranges since they are in season right now, and they are delicious and so beautiful. I, like Sara, peeled every white string from the oranges before separating the…
Grandma Harriet’s Orange Roll
This is my Grandma Harriet’s Orange Roll recipe and I just have to share it. The way that Grandma wrote the recipe was mostly just the ingredients. I did my best to create the steps that she knew by heart. They are thinly rolled, filled with sugar, butter and orange zest. No powdered sugar topping…
Irish Scones
I have tried many scone recipes, some are easier than others and some are more time consuming. This recipe for Irish Scones is so easy and very delicious. This is my adaptation of the recipe from Kerrygold, it is from a flyer from the Culinary conference that I attended. I just love that you can…
Affogato Mocha
I was looking for an easy dessert with chocolate and ice cream. Affogato Mocha is a typical Italian way to enjoy ice cream. The ice cream is drowned in espresso and another liquid topping. I chose rum as my other liquid. It is simple and refreshing. Serves: 4 Prep Time: 15 minutes Bake Time: None…
Almond Cake
This Almond Cake recipe is from David Lebovitz. I have made it in the food processor, I have made it partly in the food processor and in a stand up mixture with the paddle attachment, depending on where I am making it. It stores beautifully and just gets better. David says you can freeze it…
Gingersnap Pudding Cake
Sweet warm spices, like cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and allspice give this and many other baked goods their unmistakable aroma. I toasted the ground spices in a frying pan for a more complex flavor. I had leftover gingersnaps so I put them to good use by making this Gingersnap Pudding Cake. I used a soufflé dish…
Lemon Mousse
I made this Lemon Mousse for friends after a PEI mussel meal (See Mussels with Chorizo recipe). I wanted something fresh and light. This was perfect! I have served it in individual martini glasses as well as a soufflé dish, both worked equally as well. In fact, we liked it so much that when…
Gingersnaps
I love these homemade Gingersnaps. I like them soft on the inside and crispy around the edges. I like them with a cup of tea, I love them with a glass of milk, I especially like them in a snowstorm. The last time I made them, I was testing recipes with a dear friend. She…
Baba au Rhum Cake
This Baba au Rhum Cake has become the birthday cake of choice. It takes a little time to make but the reaction on everyone’s face when they take that first bite is worth every minute! It is a yeast cake, that is soaked in a rum sauce, make sure you use every drop. I serve it…
Rustic Peach Galette
The first thing I remember learning how to make is pie dough. I love making pies, but, if you are pressed for time, the Rustic Peach Galette is a quick alternative to a pie. The galette tastes like a pie without the top crust, and I love the rustic look. You can change the filling…
