Spring is finally in the air! I've been feeling like making a treat that reflects the sun and recent "warmer" weather we've been enjoying, and this recipe spoke to me! Macarons are light, crisp, slightly chewy, and sweet. I think ...

Some like white chocolate, and others simply don't. For many years, this particular recipe for the cupcakes, has been my go-to "white cake" recipe whenever I've done wedding cakes, etc. The flavor of the white chocolate is noticeabl...

Tea has become kind of a big deal in my home. I'm a die hard coffee drinker, but on occasion, I do enjoy a good cup of tea. My eldest son has become quite the tea aficionado in the last year or so, and is very enthralled with all things British, so he has sugar cubes with his tea daily. It may also be interesting to note that brown sugar cubes are a common European staple for tea time, and add a beautiful caramel flavor to the tea. As a bartender, I use these sweet cubes in some of the cocktails I make at work. So, sugar cubes aren'...

Well, the kids are officially back in school, and it appears that Fall has decided to come extra early this year in the U.P. of MI. Perfect soup weather in my opinion! My oldest son spent a week this past summer with his Aunt & Uncle in lower MI, and raved about a lentil soup he tried at a Middle Eastern restaurant in Hamtramck. (Yes, Hamtramck! It appears that although this city used to be the Polish capitol of MI, it has now been taken over by Middle Eastern population/ culture.) He did his best to describe to me what was in the soup, s...

There are plenty of cheesecake recipes out there for just about every flavor under the sun, but this one is truly special! First of all, it's hard to top the combination of chocolate and peanut butter...layered together in a delicious peanut butter cookie crust, and topped with a sinful dark chocolate ganache. Secondly, it's an absolutely gorgeous presentation to "wow" any family member, friend, or guest! Ok, so honestly, this was my attempt at a "zebra" style cheesecake. I wanted to see if it could be done with thi...

Spring is finally here! No more snow, (for now!), milder temps, and Easter is coming soon......I love this time of the year! Lollipops, (aka "suckers" as we also call them), are so colorful and fun for the kids. I like to actually make these for bake sales and fundraisers because they are a great "do ahead" item, and obviously last awhile. Plus, you can package them using fun ribbons for any occasion, and make an amazing display using your imagination as well for any party, celebration, or fundraiser! Plus, did I mention tha...

I have to say, whoever came up with the "Apple Roses" was pretty genius! I mean, how pretty, and so many variances as well. As much as I love the concept, I also like to put my own creative spin on things, so this is what I came up with! Sweet potatoes and pecans just plain go together, and sweet potatoes have a similar firm texture to apples. (That's why I've also seen variations of these in a more savory "potato" form as well.) You could virtually use any type of sweet potato or yam for this recipe, but I chose a ...
