Homemade Ginger Ale and a Bourbon Ginger Cocktail
Let’s get real here. I love a cocktail. An adult beverage, if you will. I try not to keep an excessive amount of alcohol stocked up in our kitchen, though. If it’s easily accessible, I’ll make a drink while cooking. … Continue reading
Spiced Apple Cranberry Pie
I’ve been enjoying the flavors of fall incredibly much. While for the past many years I’ve been intimidated by ingredients that I don’t often use, or recipes that require some actual form of skill (and less reliance on luck), I … Continue reading
Soft Pull Apart Rolls

It’s almost winter and I must admit: I like the dreary cold weather. Except that I know it’s only November and the seasons are hinting at a much colder winter. Will I still wear my slippers (flip flops, for all … Continue reading
