I Love Tiramisu

tiramisu recipe

This month for Lazy Susan, we are celebrating things that we love.  There is nothing that I love more than tiramisu.  It is my favorite dessert in the world.  I never made it at home because most of the recipes that I found called for raw egg.  I know, the tiramisu that I was eating probably contained raw egg.  But I didn't know about it, therefore, it didn't bother me.  I am pleading ignorance.  I discovered this recipe from a friend, and it truly is what I want for my last meal on this … [Read more...]

milk chocolate pots de creme recipe

A few months ago, I teamed up with Land o' Lakes and a group of talented bloggers to create some new and different recipes using LAND O LAKES® Eggs.  They asked us to do it again, and I was happy to be a part of it.  As you can imagine, I go through a lot of eggs at my house.  I buy them almost every time I go to the grocery store, and when I buy LAND O LAKES® Eggs, I know that I am getting the freshest eggs possible.  For a recipe like this Milk Chocolate Pots de Creme, having fresh and … [Read more...]

vegan chocolate cherry cupcake recipe

We all know that I am not a vegan.  But that does not mean that I am not willing to try a recipe that is.  I saw this cupcake recipe, and it looked good, so why not?  I have to admit, it was one of the better cupcakes that I have made recently.  The cupcake is very tender, and the frosting was creamy and smooth.  I didn't tell anyone that these were vegan, and they had no idea.  When I make treats, I try to get rid of them as soon as I can.  It is easier to resist temptation when the … [Read more...]

I love when people share their holiday recipes and traditions with me.  When I lived in North Carolina, I met my best friend Kathryn.  In her family, they make and eat pierogi during the holidays.  She invited me over to make pierogi with her, and we spent the day laughing, cooking, and covered in flour.  We made potato, cheese, prune, there were pierogi everywhere.  Every time I see a pierogi, I think about her and that day in her kitchen.  Traditions like these, are the ones that make … [Read more...]

rich and creamy hot chocolate recipe

I am so far behind.  Usually by this time, I have put a good dent in my holiday shopping, my house is decorated, and my gingerbread house made and covered in candy.  Not this year.  We bought a tree this morning, and it is the first thing that we really have done to celebrate the holidays.  Life has been so busy.  In such a good way, I have been so fortunate to be doing some work that I am truly proud of, but it has been my main focus for the last week or so.  Now I am ready to focus on … [Read more...]
