Cranberry-Lemon Napoleons

Puff pastry, homemade cranberry sauce, and lemon pastry cream. What more can anyone ask for in life? (Okay, to be fair, I suppose chocolate lovers could throw in some ganache somewhere.) But really, these Napoleons are the stuff that sweet dreams are made of.

Raspberry Swirl Chocolate Chip Cookies

I hope that everyone had a safe, happy, stomach-filling, Thanksgiving! Ready for the holidays? I'm not. So far the spirit of the season has decided to make beeline away from me for now.

Tuesdays with Dorie: Cranberry Shortbread Cake

Now, finally at the age of early-thirty-something, I've matured enough to realize what all the fuss is about when it comes to cranberries. Thanks to this cake and the cranberry lime galette, I now crave, love, and worship the once too-bitter harbingers of holidays.

Almond Cream Éclairs

Making eclairs allowed me to practice making choux pastry, something I've not had the privilege of doing since the Daring Kitchen made croquembouche (my wrist, and 2 fingertips still bear the spun sugar and caramel scars.) Thanks again for that, pseudo Ove-glove. :P

Tuesdays with Dorie: Cranberry-Lime Galette

♫ Galette, the best a tart can get. ♫ Since joining Tuesdays with Dorie over a year ago, I have had my eye on this recipe. It's no secret that I love limes and all their relatives, but I've been waiting for something to turn me into a cranberry lover, and I think this recipe has done just that.

Nutella-Peanut Butter Pillows (revisited)

Since this is peanut butter lover's month, I wanted to take things full circle by returning to an old favourite. When I first started blogging, well over a year ago, this was one of my first recipes.

Chocolate-Peanut Butter Moon Pies

Hello, moon pies. Where have you been all my life (better yet, where have I been?) This late-blooming discovery can be traced back to the glorious plaid-uniformed days of grade school. My parent's version of a lunch box 'treat' was usually in the form of sliced carrots, peppers or, if I was lucky, a yogurt.

Cinnamon-Filled, Spiced Cupcakes

Today is a "comme si, comme sa," kind of a day. Right after my beloved camera died, I found another point and shoot on eBay. But, thanks to some mis-routing, it may not arrive until next week, or at this rate, next year (at least I know it's headed towards me.)

Tuesdays with Dorie: Peanuttiest Blondies

Happy Peanut Butter Lovers Month! (Is it bad that I know about this?)

These photos might be the last taken with my trusty, little Canon A430 camera. After two years, 200 blog posts, and far too many snaps than I can count, the camera began displaying the dreaded white horizontal lines, and blindly white out-put. Of course I'm in a bit of a panic. For food bloggers, not having a camera is like a musician giving a performance to an empty theater.
