Want an easy recipe for Tiramisu?
I promised I would make it, photo it and showcase it on my blog: a little, lovely, Italianesque dessert fondly known as tiramisu. This recipe is borrowed from Barefoot Contessa, in her cookbook Family Style.

I am not trying to be boring, because this dessert is far from that: it is just that it is late in the day on Friday and my brain is on fumes. Or has been
Tongue Twister: A Bowlful of Blissful Brownies
I promised Myriam over at Once Upon a Tart… [more]
that I would share a brownie recipe this month (for her browniebabe of the month event). I must say, I don’t have a mile high stack of brownie recipes; though at the end of this month I bet she will! I rarely make brownies, though I am not sure why. Perhaps it is because they seem basic and unassuming; though theyI heart cookies. I heart you!
I really think food speaks volumes both about us and our lives, and the people in our lives.When a friend is sick: you bring food. When you are sick: you eat homemade chicken soup. When you are really sick: you are sad you cannot eat food. When you are sad: you eat comfort food. When you are comfortable: you make new food. When you are new: you eat familiar food.… [more]
coveted, frosted sugar cookies
I have hidden, sneaked, stuffed and murmured this recipe. I have not shared it. In fact, to this day I recall being asked for it and conveniently ‘forgetting’ the request. It is so good, such a shoo-in for hitting hero-like status—that one does not want to share the spotlight.
I made this recipe this Christmas for Santa, along with my kids who were decorating fiends, because the existing cookies we… [more]
Citrus Juice, Citrus Zest
I don’t just love using oranges and lemons and limes. I love using ALL of them (okay, maybe sans the pith). It is sheer pride and all smiles when I use both the rind and the juice from one of my citrus friends. I feel so responsible, so deliberate in my optimization of the fruit; sure that using zest minimizes my contribution to overall waste. Every bit helps right?

Snowball Cookies
I have powdery, sugary, pecan embedded glorious butter ball cookies sitting on my windowsill. They look like a row of snowballs, blissfully unaware that they are resting, warm and moist, on the inside. Snowball cookies are a perfect treat for this time of year. Meant to melt in mouths, this sweet cookie delivers more than the snow that melted in my mouth as a child. I used to pour maple… [more]

, and come up with foodie gifts like eggnog pound cake. I made 6 mini loaves with this recipe, then wrapped, ribboned and labeled them to spread around the eggnog love. You can freeze a few extra loaves and if you are [tip-of-the-hat] well organized, use extra pound cake forFirst Birthday Tart
True! My niece didn’t have a birthday cake or even a cupcake for her first birthday. My family took the risk of assigning dessert-making to me, so my niece ended up with a pumpkin banana tart with piles of whipping cream (inspired by and nod to Barefoot Contessa, Family Style… [more]
). The celebration actually engulfed 3 birthdays in the family: my son and 2 of my nieces. And the tartBlackberry Brambles
Like a kid in a candy store. The saying applies to me at a farmer’s market, in the cookbook aisle, and recently standing among piles upon tangles of blackberry brambles. I didn’t even know what I was going to do with so many blackberries, I just knew that I experienced regular pangs of delight as I horded my steadily swelling pile of syrupy berries.
