Ugly Holiday Sweater Cookies

When I get home from a trip I love to do a bit of cooking, and a lot of laundry (OK, I don't love doing laundry but there's always a huge pile after unpacking, isn't there?). It kind of grounds…

Icebox Cake

I prepared this unusual looking cake for a recent pot luck. It's now my new favorite fancy dessert! The recipe is super easy and involves assembly rather than any actual cooking. It needs to be made a day ahead which…

Rice Pudding

This yummy dessert recipe will have you 'accidentally' cooking too much white rice, every week! I did that last night and luckily had enough ingredients to pull together a delicious version of this old fashioned treat. For the very naughty…

Spaghetti with Avocado Sauce

This rich creamy avocado sauce makes the most incredible meal. There is nothing bad in it: fresh avocados, lemon juice, green onions, garlic, olive oil, and spaghetti. It's quick to prepare, and it's surprisingly good. Even though I've made this…
