Telling food stories, one kitchen at a time
The secret to my recipe for Guinness Chocolate Cake with Bailey’s Buttercream is to reduce the stout first to give you a deeply malted and moist crumb. The frosting adds just enough excitement without stealing the show and the end result is a cake you can’t resist eating… even for breakfast!
Toasted Pistachio Orange Biscotti is well-balanced with citrus notes. Toasty, a-little-bit-salty pistachios really steal the show. This recipe pairs well with a large pot of coffee.
Dear Readers and Friends, I thought I had written this post in advance as I am on vacation. So here I am in Lake Tahoe with 15 other friends-skiers-snowboarders on Day 3 of 4 of shredding the slopes. And I am dead-tired. But I’m writing about Fisherman’s Pie because my bed is the couch. Which means I am last to bed, first to wake. But it leaves me a few minutes here and there to blog while we are all watching movie after movie after movie after movie into the wee hours of the night. While sitting on my bed.. But I can use some of this time to write about Fisherman’s Pie.

My newest recipe obsession: Smoked Salmon, Dill, and Horseradish Tartlets for their perfectly baked crusts with salty, smoky, herby, and slightly spicy eggy filling.
Pork Tenderloin in Spiked Cider Cream Sauce is an easy weeknight dinner recipe. You’ll want to spoon the herbacious and malty sauce over everything
Irish Apple Crumb Cake with Honey Whipped Cream is a recipe match made in heaven. Eat it for breakfast or dessert… I ate it for both!
Irish Cream Cupcakes with Pistachio Swiss Meringue are a beautiful spring treat. This classy recipe is perfect for Saint Patrick’s Day or Easter or any other “just because” occasion. Impress everyone and watch them fight over the first and last cupcake crumbs.

Bedtime last night was 9:30 pm and I was so proud of myself for getting in there on time and falling asleep almost immediately as my head hit the pillow, giving thanks that I would get a full eight hours of sleep on a weeknight. [Insert pat on the back. Go Danielle!!]
