This recipe comes from my grandmother, my mom’s mom, who probably got it from somewhere many many years ago. I just remember it as her chocolate sauce as part of her Ice Cream Pie. She had two desserts that I begged her to make all of the time – one was a simple no-bake chocolate…
Easter Tradition: Hot Cross Buns
A wealth of superstitions and legends surround the history of this sweet bread typically eaten around Easter and Christmas, but one thing is for sure – they are extremely tasty. I don’t care where they came from or how they will bring me goodwill in the coming year, I just care that I did not discover…
Earl Grey Pistachio Shortbread Cookies
What’s better than a cup of earl grey tea on a lazy Sunday morning? Not much. But maybe a cup of earl grey tea with a side of shortbread cookies. Earl Grey tea is a tea blend with a unique flavor and aroma that comes from the addition of oil extracted from the rind of…
Low-fat Carrot Cupcakes with Low-fat Cream Cheese Icing

Oh, the silent majesty of a winter’s morn…
Name that Christmas movie… Anyway, normally on Christmas morning, we get up around 6:00 am, have about 30 minutes of “Christmas” together before we have to run off to our first family event of the day. This year, however, we managed to get the entire morning to ourselves. Oh what to do…what to do. We…
