Well, it’s official. We can legitimately start thinking about making cookies and candy for the holiday season. Heck, I have been in the candy-making mode for two weeks now. I don’t know (I have lost track) how many batches I have done but at least 12 batches of caramel and 8 or so of chocolate
Apple Galette
The countdown begins, for real now! Thanksgiving is on Thursday except we are doing ours on Wednesday this year which I’m looking forward too. An actual holiday where I have absolutely nothing to do but lay on my couch, watch football and eat leftovers! This year’s dessert is an Apple Galette. What the heck is a
Outrageous Caramel M&M’s Cookies
I hope that everyone had a great Mother’s Day! It’s always a favorite day of the year for me as it’s our tradition to have a nice brunch and then play in the garden. It was a spectacularly sunny day in Colorado and we made great progress cleaning out Mom’s gardens to get ready to
Raspberry Curd Love Pastries
A couple of weeks back I was chatting with one of my tennis gals, Leigh and we were discussing our businesses. Her company is Plum Creek Gourmet which produces yummy fruit and nut bar mixes and natural vanilla sugars. Her nut bar mixes are great because they are all natural and contain no preservatives. You
Tipsy Double Chocolate Cherry Cookies
I am Heather and I have had a baking obsession this holiday season. Mainly, I think it’s my new kitchen and especially my new oven but also, it’s dang cold outside and it’s really starting to feel like Christmas! Way too freaking cold to do anything outside for sure! It was -8 degrees on Friday
Chocolate Toffee Caramel
Tis the season that I become a candy cooking fool making yummy things for my clients, family, and friends. This was the perfect week for it as we finally got some wintertime weather and it was way too cold to do anything outside! On Wednesday, my friend Michelle sent me a message with a video
Apple Bread Pudding with Apple Brandy Sauce
Well, I wasn’t planning on cooking for Thanksgiving this year but our dinner for seven quickly soared to sixteen in the past day! Wow, this is going to be a fun day! Me and my parents, my brother and his family, my Aunt Nancy, old man Cotton, my friends Lauren and Paul and their kiddos
Fireball Whiskey Peach Bread Pudding
Hi All! I hope you are enjoying your Labor Day weekend. I’m still busy “laboring”… Actually after a super busy week showing houses to a great family, we found a wonderful home for them and wrote an offer last night. So now we are in the “sit and wait” period to hear back from the
Limoncello Cream Berry Cake
Well it’s been a hot one in Colorado this past week. It actually was 100 degrees on Tuesday. Holy cow! One hundred degrees in June. In my twenty six years here, I’m not sure that I have even seen it that HOT in June! I shutter to the thought of what this may bring us
Bronco Biscuits
This week in Denver is a week of anticipation. First of all, after a few weeks of incredible Spring like weather, wearing shorts on dog walks and playing tennis outside, we are going to get hit with a giant snow storm later today and going into Tuesday. The weatherman says 12-24 inches. That always makes
