Sugar cookies are synonymous with holiday baking. They take a bit more time to roll, cut and shape and frost, but the end result is so worth it. I've baked many sugar cookie recipes, but this one is still our favorite-- hands down. They bake crispy on the outside, with a slightly soft chew in the middle. Sometimes, I frost them with a buttercream, and other times I use this simple cookie glaze
Filet Mignon Steak Oscar with Duchess Potatoes Surf and Turf
This recipe is a twist on Veal Oscar, using a tender filet Mignon. I've made a quick Béarnaise Sauce to serve with the steak and crab legs. As a side dish, I made Duchess Potatoes. What a special way to say "I love you" for a memorable dinner at home. Valentine's Day is just a week away, and it holds a special place in my heart, because my husband chose that day to propose to me. We were
Easy Thai Coconut Curry Halibut with Fresh Sauteed Spinach
Thai food is one of my favorite foods, and I love many of the ingredients like lime, lemongrass and coconut milk. This recipe for Halibut was perfect as a quick weeknight dinner. Halibut is a mild fish, but you can substitute for any kind of mild white fish (such as cod). I also love adding fresh lemongrass, because I adore that bright lemony flavor it infuses into Thai food. We are fortunate
How to Make Evelskiver (Aebelskiver) Mini Corn Dogs
Ever heard of Ebelskivers? They're a Danish round pancake, that is stuffed with jam, but there are savory fillings as well. Ebelskiver pans are pretty easy to find and they're actually fun to make. The corn mix is made from scratch, and super fast and easy to make. I adapted the recipe by cutting up hot dogs and filling each round well with the batter and hot dog. Dipped in mustard, they were a

The Best Classic Lemon Bars
Lemon Bars are a classic cookie recipe, that was originally developed by Betty Crocker recipes in the 1960's. The first time that I ate one, I was smitten. A buttery shortbread crust, with a gooey lemony filling, topped by a dusting of powdered sugar. So bright. Both sweet and tart. So addictive! When our lemon tree provides its annual bounty, these are first on my list. Sometime, in the
How to Make Sourdough Bread Rolls
Living just two hours away from San Francisco, I have learned to love true sourdough bread. Whenever we visit Fisherman's Wharf, I buy at least one loaf of their famous sourdough French bread. It's that "tang" to the bread that I've grown to love. These rolls were made from my sourdough starter, that I have lovingly fed for several years. I added an additional ingredient that makes that
How to Make Italian Pasta alla Norcina
Pasta Alla Norcina is a pasta dish that made with Orecchiette ("Little ears") and flavorful pork sauce, with a light cream sauce. The small round orecchiette pasta becomes a tiny bowl, that holds the sauce-- and we love the slight chewy texture. This creamy comfort dish originated in the Italian village of Norcia, located in the southeastern part of the Umbrian region of Italy.
