SLAINTE an idea
After the year we have just lived through, I can't think of a more fitting toast than SLAINTE! To your health, to your safety, to your well being.
NATIONAL COOKIE DAY
National Cookie Day is December 4th and a perfect opportunity to bake up some of your favorite recipes and try some new ones.
HALLOWEEN an idea
For this party, the theme was PIZZA AND PUMPKINS! The evening was designed to embrace both our inner-child and culinary creativity.
SOUS VIDE COOKING an idea
Sous vide, (pronounced "sue veed"), refers to a cooking method whereby food is sealed and cooked in a temperature controlled water bath.
GRADUATING an idea
After a long year (plus) of living in quarantine, gathering for celebrations is finally a more doable proposition–just in time for our nephews high school graduation!
GALENTINE an idea
Galentine's Day is February 13th, the day before VALentine's Day. It is a day to celebrate with your GALentines. It also just happens to be one of my favorite peeps birthday, so I couldn't let this day slip by without a celebration
SWEET NOTINGS an idea
Love letters are personal, intimate and timeless. They are a piece of the soul and they share the many colors and textures of the heart. They are truth and passion infused with vulnerability, idiosyncrasy and…. well….love.
BURNING an idea
Since this is a season for celebrations, let's talk about setting fire to food. This technique is called "flambe" and it is dramatic and fun.
COOKIE EXCHANGE an idea
Two ideas that seem to be very unlikely companions are the Pandemic and a holiday cookie exchange. Not to be denied, Eleanor Andersen and I came up with a plan.
THANKSGIVING TO GO an idea
As with most all things this year, the Pandemic has really thrown a "monkey wrench" into the works. The idea of gathering in a large group for hours of feasting and fun is probably not the most advisable of holiday strategies. So, as the saying goes, "necessity is the mother of invention" and it's time to pivot and change the plan.
