Food For Thought
It has been awhile since my last post. Life got a little hectic and my writing took a back seat for longer than I had hoped. I thought I would start off with a historical post and what better way to get into the Fall spirit than with a pumpkin spice history crash course. Yes,... Continue Reading →
Since March 1st, I had been thinking about what Saint’s Patrick’s day treat I wanted to create. Did I want to make something green, something traditional, or something with booze, and it occurred to me to do an Irish coffee inspired dessert. We have Irish coffee at work and I was inspired.

I know lately I haven’t been posting regularly, and I apologize. I want to get back into the habit of writing and baking for the blog. I will be making historical posts again soon and adding small recipes to the blog’s Instagram account. This week, I made a friend for her birthday these Cabernet Sauvignon... Continue Reading →

I wanted to make my own jelly and decided to make a raspberry compote. Fruit compotes are less gelatinous and are great as a dessert... Continue Reading →
Recently, I ordered these Dungeons and Dragons cookie cutters1 and I couldn’t wait to use them. I was thinking of all the possible cookie recipes I could use and decided to try a beer infused cookie recipe. I’ve never used beer in my cookie recipes and thought it was best to look up a recipe...

I know that the return of pumpkin spice everything marks the return of Fall, but I love the air becoming slightly crisp, the warm spices returning to our baked goods, and hot drinks. Don’t get me wrong, pumpkin spice is nice, but over the years it has gotten a little out of hand. I wanted... Continue Reading →
I recently had lavender lemonade and was blown away by the flavor combination. I personally hate lemonade and do not find it to be refreshing at all, but I was curious about this particular beverage. I found it to be utterly delightful and surprisingly refreshing. I don’t know if it was the combination or higher... Continue Reading →
