Deck-The-Halls-Biscotti-Final-2-URL

This year, in lieu of hitting the mall and going crazy with all things holiday shopping, I decided that I'd much rather make delicious treats and libations for friends and family.

Want to take it to the next level? Add some chocolate to biscotti and you have yourself quite the … [Read more...]

Another favorite shopping destination for me year round is Sur La Table and I'm blessed to have not one but two stores near me – both in King of Prussia, PA and in Marlton, NJ. Both have full kitchens for teaching classes (which I know, I know – I have YET to take one – I'm failing that part of my 2012 Culinary Goals) and, when I get in my DIY/Canning moods, I head to SLT to pick up supplies. Let me tell you – while I adore having both of my favorite cooking stores nearby, my wallet … [Read more...]

So, without further … [Read more...]
