Cupcakes are the perfect size for a lot of things.  I’ve prepared meatloaf cupcakes in the past and they were a huge hit.  It made sense to try something in the breakfast realm.  Ingenious but easy and full of possibilities.  I added salsa to one of the cups, and avocado with grated cheese to another.

Authentic British Scones

by Karen on June 21, 2012

There is nothing like a good British Cream Scone.   I just used cream cheese instead of clotted cream or Devonshire Cream which is English, and a dollup of homemade strawberry jam.   You can add raisins if you want, I didn’t.  Some other time.   So light and fluffy with a tendered golden outside.    Once you make [...]

Quiche is a cherished dinner at our home, so when it comes summer time I bring on the crab!  Oh this is a flawless recipe.  You can take the easy route with a pre-made crust.  Feeling adventurous, then make my savory pie crust with dill and thyme to enhance [...]

Couldn’t pass this one up.  I’m always looking for healthier options for my kids and myself.  But we all want something that tastes good.  I saw this article about the head chef at the White House, Sam Kass.  He makes these oat and fruit bars for the Obama kids.   Tasty little treats that you can make with so many variations.  Both my [...]

Recipe for Plum Torte

by Karen on September 26, 2011

Currently I’m working on my cousin’s (the bride)wedding.  Nautical theme, 250 guests, 25 custom boat centerpieces, and 225 custom sugar cookies.  Trust me I will post more about all the details in another post.  It’s daunting and I’m only creating a small fraction of the pieces for the big extravaganza.  But this is what I live for, yes [...]
