With all the egg whites we have been using lately we have found ourselves with an abundance of rich orange yolks. Waste in our household is not an option, besides there are a plethora of baked goods (as well as savory dishes) that incorporate egg yolks. Crème Brulée...

With Halloween finished and Thanksgiving peering around the corner, the aroma of apple cider is in the air, fresh cranberries and pomegranates are popping on the shelves in grocery stores. In fact some places are already putting out Christmas decorations. A mammoth...

My husband, DF, is apart of a wonderful mammoth Italian family. When we announced our engagement (of course there was a huge party) my grandmother-in-law kindly with seriousness informed me I would need to learn the family sauce recipe. I thought marinara sauce how...

During the Fall/Winter seasons it is our family’s tradition to prepare stocks and a special Italian sauce (to be given in a later post). Since both take at least 8 hours we try to prepare at least one type of stock and sauce on the same day. I remember when...

I am going to take a moment to show you what I woke up to this morning, and due to the drastic drop in the barometric pressure I have a migraine. Thank goodness chocolate has caffeine and caffeine helps migraines…guess what I am snacking on… While dipping...

I mentioned in the last post this week has had a rocky start, to say the least, I wish I could report that it has leveled a bit, however today was pretty chaotic as well, a snow storm has decided to visit us, every appointment we had today ran 15 minutes late, and DF...

DF has had dinner work nights all week, he designed a web program and app. He was the cover story for Investment Advisor, 10/2011 issue; though Sydney and I are bursting with pride we have not had many family dinners (between traveling and dinner engagements). When...

Last night we decided to bring takeout home, which is not a common practice, I ended up with food poisoning so intense I was culred-up into a ball on our bedroom floor from 11:45 to 4:00 am. DF had been working in his study; when he finished and decided to call it an...

One of the mine and Sydney’s favorite Fall/Winter drinks is hot apple cider; I buy it by the gallons. This past Saturday I awoke to snow and the temperature had fallen 25 degrees (quite common for Colorado). I bought 4 gallons of apple cider, yes, I went a tad...

Ever since Sydney was young (about 2 years old) Monday night has been our family’s Shrimp Fajita Night. My husband, DF, is a workaholic, but I have always insisted we have dinner as a family. Anyone with young children knows how hard it can be to have their...

Rum Caramel Cups have to be the most sought after dessert in our household; Sydney knows if she doesn’t count her half and hide them in the refrigerator DF will eat the entire batch. We generally have them throughout the year, but during the holidays, especially...

Sydney and I had been working with more than 360 grams/a dozen egg whites, it would have been a shame to waste the all those yolks. I generally save them for another day, but these eggs happened to be freshly laid that day. I suggested we whip up some banana pudding;...

When we left off Sydney and I had created a satire for the baking sugar cookies; I promise my singing is finished. Time to talk about the processes of decorating sugar cookies. Once the cookies have completely cooled, we can begin to to outline the cookie. The outline...

In the kitchen, baker always working on something, till I talked to Sydney and she said “bake this way.” She said “you haven’t tasted anything till you taste my sugar cookies.” Than your sure to be changing your dough. So I tried her...

I must admit this week has been a comedy of errors, Sydney had surgery (first time under anesthesia), my husband was/ and still is on a business trip, I completely forgot to send Lis of Daring Bakers my article for food talk, and Sydney might need to go back to the...

I absolutely love when a favorite recipe can be transformed into a completely different dessert. I was in a conundrum trying to create a special treat for Sydney, she is having her top wisdom teeth removed. Anyone over 18 years of age, who has ever had to endure the...

Croissants are buttery, flaky, and distinctive; almost everyone is familiar with the croissant as a staple of French cuisine. The croissant brings to mind a flaky, buttery pastry often served with coffee, or perhaps filled with almond, cheese or chocolate for...
