Spring is always my favorite season, with more sunshine and pretty flowers, less wind and rain. It's also when we celebrate often, between two of our kids' birthdays, my birthday and Mr. Harris' birthday, Easter, Mother's Day - it's a busy time for us! It's also a time when we're looking … [Read more...]
Chai Spiced Sugar Cookies with Vanilla Bean Glaze
A few weeks ago I was on a roll with the cookie recipes. I made these delicious chewy chocolate cookies with coffee glaze as a part of a 25 days of cookies countdown. When I made those I also made these Chai Spiced Sugar Cookies with Vanilla Bean Glaze and I didn't know which one I would include in that cookie post. I ended up sharing the chocolate ones because they were ready first, which left me extra time to photograph these pretty babies. On a sidenote, I'm obviously into creating a glaze … [Read more...]

Cherry Pecan Thumbprint Cookies
In the past week or two I've been talking about cookies a lot. I can't help it. 'Tis the season and all, right? Here's the thing. Cookies are pretty easy to make as far as baked goods go. They're small, you can make quite a bit, and they're fairly inexpensive. Technically there's butter, sugar, flour, baking soda, powder or both, maybe some spices, some nuts or chips, sometimes some salt. Pretty much all of these are ingredients typically found in an average kitchen. That's precisely … [Read more...]
Black and Blue Sweet Rolls with Lemon Glaze
It's the time of year for fresh fruit and farmer's markets, and I love it! I know I have berries on the brain lately, but I just can't help it. When the weather warms, I just seem to prefer fresh fruit or tutti fruity desserts, Recently I received some pure Irish butter from Kerrygold as a part of the their loyalty program, and I knew exactly what I wanted to make with it. Dessert pastry with fresh berries, of course! What I love about Kerrygold's butter, aside from it's pure deliciousness, … [Read more...]

Not even realizing that other people may prefer the other flavors. What can I say; he's a creature of habit. It's no secret that soda can … [Read more...]
Strawberry Soda Mini-Cakes
I can admit that I'm a little confusing. I mean, for the past month I've been sharing all of these Fall recipes to prepare for the cooler months, and then now on the first day of Fall I share this very summery recipe. Hear me out though! I just realized I had this post sitting in my drafts since July, which was back when I had made it. I have this notebook that I scribble recipes in when I'm testing them out because in actuality I'm like all those other cooks who will just throw a little bit … [Read more...]
Pumpkin Spice Bread with Brown Sugar Glaze
Throughout the holiday season, I always enjoy my Pumpkin Spice Bread Muffins and so this year for Thanksgiving I decided to make a loaf instead of muffins.I mentioned in the muffin recipe post that I enjoy these so much with walnuts and raisins, so I decided to include those in the loaf as well. To dress it up a bit, I also decided to do a glaze over the bread loaf, and a brown sugar glaze seemed like the perfect way to go. It took an already delicious base to extraordinary.My husband couldn't … [Read more...]
