I have been wanting to make biscotti for awhile and this was the perfect excuse to not only make the biscotti, but also use it as part of a gift (especially for a coffee or hot tea drinker). I gave it to one of my cousins along with a gift card, and she said it…

Old Fashioned Caramel Cake
This recipe is my grandmother’s and I have been too intimidated to try it for as long as I have been actively baking. I decided that this Christmas was time to do it! The part I wasn’t too sure on was browning the sugar. I was so afraid of burning it, then I really didn’t…

I made this last week and totally forgot to post it! Any leftover vegetables can be used, but since I had some spinach that was on the verge of wilting and mushroom stems left from this recipe, I decided to use those items. This was quick to prepare and easy for me to cut into…
Sausage & Cannellini Bean Stew
The east coast has gotten hit hard by winter storms this past weekend. Even though we didn’t see any snow where I live in Georgia, it was still cold. It’s the perfect season for some soup, which I haven’t made in awhile. This recipe came up in my Google reader, and I thought it sounded…
