May 25, 2021

Written by Beth Williams

When was the last time you had a fabulous punch? Many years ago, my mom, Mama Gabe, did a reception for my cousin’s senior piano recital. (The man has mad skills.) Anyway, she made this punch. TO DIE FOR! This is no three-ingredient wonder, not that there’s anything wrong with those. It takes effort but, oh my goodness, is it worth it! In addition, not only can you use this recipe as a traditional punch but you can enjoy it two other ways! Bonus! Continue reading

A Norwegian's Take on Chocolate Croissants

I am all about taking the mystery and intimidation out of all things home so I decided that if I can make Kringle, which is a large Danish pastry with layers and layers of butter, I could make croissants, a French pastry with layers and layers of butter.

Thai Soup On A Chilly Day

Jan 25, 2021

A couple of years ago I was in a local restaurant, Garlic Thai and Sushi Bar, and discovered Massaman Curry. It's key ingredient was peanut butter, which I adore. It was full of flavor but not too spicy. I was hooked! So as per my usual when I find something I really like, I try to find a recipe to make it at home. Continue reading

So when I was a little bit desperate for a quick dinner idea a few months ago, they all came to the rescue.
