New Year’s Eve Countdown Cocktail

Ring in the New Year with 12 grapes at midnight—each bite a wish for a prosperous month ahead. New Year’s Eve Countdown Cocktail I fondly recall a New Year’s Eve years ago when, alongside some international friends, we embraced a tradition: swiftly eating twelve grapes at midnight.

Chinese-Five Spice Oatmeal Cookies

It’s the last one.  I swear. But I had to get it in.  Had too. I love this cookie, because it’s oatmeal and it uses one of my favorite spices, Chinese-five spice.  This Chinese-Five Spice Oatmeal Cookie tasted exactly like I wanted it to.  The spice flavor mixed together with the oatmeal pushes this one over the top. I don’t like raisins so this…

Bourbon-Walnut Sweet Potato Mash

Oh you are going to need to drink some cheap Bourbon to get over the ugliness photographed here.  Yes.  It looks like a pile of…well…mashy-mush. And yes, it is so very yucky looking. But hey, don’t judge a book by its cover. Ever. I now know cheap Bourbon and sweet potatoes are a perfect foodie marriage. And as ugly and bad as it looks,…

Chocolate Souffle Cookies

Everytime I have ever attempted to make a soufflé it falls the minute I open the oven.  It always looks so beautiful in there, all puffed up in its glory.   But then reality sets in once the pesky door is opened.  Maybe someday I’ll figure out the secret to a puffed up soufflé but until then these Chocolate Soufflé Cookies will…
