Norwegian Berlinerkranser (Berlin Wreaths) Cookies

Despite their name these pretty  butter cookie wreaths are among the most traditional of the Norwegian Christmas cookies.

Raspberry Almond Cookies

I made these lovely short bread cookies last Christmas after most of my traditional cookies had mostly disappeared.

Starbucks Gingerbread Loaf

I love the sweet breads they serve at Starbucks. The lemon bread and the pumpkin bread, but most of all the gingerbread loaf.

Lemony Zucchini Risotto

Earlier this fall my husband and I joined some friends for dinner at a fairly new and popular restaurant in town. The second I saw Lemon Zucchini Risotto on the menu I knew what I wanted to order.

Basic Mashed Potatoes

Mashed potatoes is frequently on the table  around here especially in the winter time.

Chicken Chili With Hominy

I love chili so much. It is one of my favorite things to eat during the cold weather season.

Apple Cinnamon Breakfast Bake

During the week breakfast is not a priority  around here. My husband leaves at the crack of dawn and my two teenage  girls are gone by 7 o'clock.
