Election Cake

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 »

Irish Plum Pudding

Kaitlin — Sat, 25 Dec 2021 10:00:41 +0000

In the 11 years I’ve been writing posts for this blog, I have never posted on Christmas Day! This year, I decided to finally rectify that and bring a recipe for a Christmas Pudding. Plum Pudding is quite a misnomer (at least to us Americans) – it does not include any plums, and pudding is... Read More »

Happy New Year! Our unseasonably warm weather seems to have left with 2015, and colder temperatures are here to stay for a while.

This cold weather just won’t let up, so my cravings for comfort foods keep on coming! This recipe for Braised Chicken Thighs with Wild Rice Pilaf comes from the March 2015 issue of Cooking Light.

Autumn Apple Salad with Cinnamon Honey Dijon Dressing

Kaitlin — Thu, 18 Sep 2014 12:00:07 +0000

It’s September which means apples are right in their prime season! Although apples are available year-round, most apples ripen in the August-October time frame. I’ve had a craving for apples ever since September began so I was so excited when I was contacted recently about trying an apple variety called SweeTango that I’ve never had... Read More »

Plum Sweet and Spicy Chicken

Kaitlin — Wed, 03 Apr 2013 11:00:18 +0000

Certain foods just seem to be ingrained in what we thing about certain cities, countries or regions. The South is known for its barbecue (which is different state to state), Italy is known for its pasta, Philadelphia is known for its cheesesteaks… you get the idea. I was recently sent a cookbook that plays off... Read More »

If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you might have picked up on my obsession with pumpkin and butternut squash. I attempt to limit my gourd intake to the September and October months, but every now and then I still need my fix outside of those months. Butternut squash seems to be more... Read More »

Every Easter, we have this adorable little bunny cake that shows up for dessert. I honestly don’t know what bakery we get it from, but it always makes me smile. So I thought I’d try to recreate it. Obviously, a bunny would be filled with carrots, so I decided to make a Bunny Carrot Cake... Read More »
