The “12 Days of Baking” of 2016
‘Twas the night before Christmas… And the “12 Days of Baking” series that is yearly awaited for has come to an end. For some reason, this year’s series was much different that the two before it. This year I end it with a heavy heart. I’m not going to get all emotional now. But since…
Day 12 of “12 Days of Baking”: Honey Rosemary Roasted Chestnuts
What better to devour on a crisp Autumn day than a fresh batch of roasted chestnuts drizzled with a sweet rosemary butter? As a kid going to school, this time of the year was the most hard to get through. The growing darkness drains the energy from my body and mind. For me, this is the…

However, what these cookies lack in “cute factor”, they make up for…

I want to put out recipes that are new, and fresh, not like everything that’s bombarding the interweb during this month. As always, the answer is…

Christmas is almost around the corner, and I am sure this weekend you will be busy with last minute baking, and shopping. It’s going to be madness out there if you are out shopping, but in the kitchen, you can control the madness if you choose a few great recipes to make, for example, this…
