I found this recipe online after searching for a great recipe for waffles. This recipe is originally from Aretha Frankenstein’s restaurant in Chattanooga, TN. The key differences are the large amount of cornstarch and letting the batter sit 30 minutes. I like that you don’t need to oil the waffle iron. They are really light and crispy! Serves 2 to…

Latte Art 2.0 – Learning the Heart
This was made from a single shot of espresso on my second successful day of making hearts. I learned the little wreath trick from all the you tube videos I watched. I think I have mastered the fern leaf to my satisfaction and now have moved on to the heart! I switched to pour overs in the summer because…
Pasta with Sausage, Tomatoes and Mushrooms
I bought this super long pasta that looked interesting. I searched for a recipe for a sauce to go with it. The sauce was good but nothing out of the ordinary. The pictures give a pretty good idea of what is going on here. I still prefer a bolognese type sauce with more carrots, celery and onion in the mix.…
Mint and Lime Mojitos
By New Years Eve we were pretty worn out from all the holiday fun and didn’t end up going to Mary’s New Years Party at her Times Square office. So we stayed in our apartment made delicious sandwiches on baguettes, Italian Wedding cookies with Whiskey Vanilla frosting and Mint and Lime Mojitos. (Roger and I binged watched a bunch…
Huevos Rancheros
Roger and I had brunch at a place in the village called Macondo and had the best Huevos Rancheros I have ever had! It was in a little ceramic pot with eggs cooked and drenched both a red and green sauce. There was a tortilla and some beans in there, too. Unfortunately, we went again and ordered the same thing…
Chocolate Dipped Honeycomb Candy
This candy is tricky to get right but delicious when it works out. This candy can also be crushed and covered over a german chocolate cake with whipped cream. My Grandma Grace used to make the cake and we couldn’t find the candy in the stores where she bought it so we use this now. She used a coffee flavored…
Amazingly Good Christmas Egg Nog
This turned out perfect this year! I tweaked it from last year and love it. Maybe one change for next year. Don’t be afraid to really stir in the whipped egg whites at the end. I was afraid if I stirred them in too much it would deflate. But there was so much that if you didn’t ladle correctly through…
Seven Layer Magic Cookie Bars
These yummy bar cookies are so quick to make I hardly had time to take pictures of the process. Also they are so good to eat I never got any more pictures of the cute little yummy squares of these. Now they are gone. But they were so good! The recipe has been around for years. I remember Patti making…
Raspberry Swirl Cookies
I found this recipe on Food.com while browsing for cookies and these looked nice. They were a pretty addition to the cookie party. Didn’t blow anyone away but kept the variety interesting. Not too hard to make and can roll up, freeze or refrigerate to bake later. INGREDIENTS 1⁄2 cup butter, softened (not margarine) 1 cup sugar 1 large egg…
Raspberry Almond Thumbprint Cookies
I guess I never took pictures of these close up! These were really pretty too! I found the recipe on Sally’s Baking Addiction and used one of her beautiful pictures. Mine turned out almost as pretty but equally delicious. Well, I can’t really say since I haven’t tasted hers but mine were really yummy! Here is a picture of our…
