Election Cake

Kaitlin — Mon, 04 Nov 2024 10:00:46 +0000

I had no clue that Election Cake used to be a thing until I saw an article recently about this lost tradition! Recipes for Election Cake are found back to the late 18th century, but apparently the tradition has fallen off in recent years. This yeasted spiced bundt fruitcake was traditionally prepared prior to Election Day... Read More »

Italian Fig Cookies (Cuccidati)

Kaitlin — Mon, 18 Mar 2019 09:00:02 +0000

Tomorrow, March 19th, is the Feast of St. Joseph, an important feast day in Italy or more specifically, Sicily. St. Joseph is particularly important to Sicilians, because he is credited with preventing a famine in Sicily during the Middle Ages through prayer. Each year, a large feast is prepared in his honor. Desserts typically include... Read More »

Pressure Cooker Coq Au Vin

Kaitlin — Mon, 18 Feb 2019 11:00:50 +0000

When I first began learning to cook, Coq Au Vin was one of the first recipes I attempted to make. And boy, did I fail miserably. So I’ve stayed away from the recipe since — I haven’t tried to make it in over a decade! I figured it was time to finally try making it... Read More »

Grilled Camembert Cheese Plate

Kaitlin — Mon, 08 Aug 2016 12:00:48 +0000

Note: I was sent a jar of Maille Rosemary Honey Mustard to try. Opinions are my own. I’m kind of obsessed with my new Coyote Outdoor Grill. I’ve basically made a game out of finding things I can grill that are a bit outside of the box. (To see some of my other recipes I’ve... Read More »

Lower Calorie Sangria

Kaitlin — Mon, 17 Jun 2013 11:00:10 +0000

Last year, I gave my dad sangria for Father’s Day. He loves sangria, so I thought I’d make it a yearly thing. This time around though, I was also trying to sneak something by him. Instead of using sugar in the sangria, I used Monk Fruit In The Raw, a natural substitute. My father is... Read More »

Applejack Spiked Hot Cider

Kaitlin — Thu, 25 Oct 2012 11:00:00 +0000

Well, we are apparently forecasted to get hit with yet another nor’easter on Halloween. I remember as a kid, some houses would serve us hot cider to keep us warm while trick-or-treating. Those (along with the houses with candied apples and tons of Reeces) were my favorite. Now that I no longer go house to... Read More »

Champagne-Browned Butter Chicken

Kaitlin — Thu, 11 Oct 2012 11:00:00 +0000

My CSA share this week came with the most beautiful carrots. I am not the biggest fan of carrots but I don’t mind them mixed into a dish. These were too pretty to not use! Cooking Light had a recipe in its latest issue that sounded really intriguing: Champagne-Browned Butter Chicken. The dish is pretty... Read More »

Sangria

Kaitlin — Sun, 19 Jun 2011 19:20:00 +0000

For Father’s Day, I wanted to make my dad a somewhat traditional sangria. He is a man who has nothing and wants nothing (which is probably a result of having two daughters and a wife who want everything), but he does love a good sangria. I hope he likes it! Ingredients: 1 bottle of Rioja... Read More »
