One part opportunity, one part spontaneity, whip vigorously
I hope everyone had a good holiday! On Christmas eve we started the evening with crostinis! All the crostinis had a base of whipped ricotta cheese and then a different topping. From left to right we have tomatoes and pesto, strawberries with balsamic vinegar, pomegranate with honey, lemon zest with sea salt, smoked salmon with dill,…
Last night was pierogi night at the Tagles (ahh still getting used to the sister’s new name). Re-saturating dried mushrooms for the mushroom borscht. Too much pre-cooking wine for this one… Follow me on Twitter @Pilots_Daughter
As of 6:03 pm ET today, winter is here. With winter solstice comes the longest day of the year so I thought it was fitting to share a winter dessert: red wine poached pear tart. This recipe comes from the infamous David Lebovitz. The recipe was easy to follow and the flavors were amazing. Only…
I have been posting a lot lately about travel and events I have been to but not so much about baking. While looking through summer photos I realized I forgot to post my peach cinnamon rolls I made back in July. Yes peaches are basically out of season but these were so tasty I have…

Happy St. Patty’s Day! I hope everyone wore green today, had some corned beef, and drank a Guinness. Denver celebrated St. Patty’s day this weekend so my friends and I set out on the town for some good ole Irish drinking on Saturday. On actual St. Patty’s Day though I celebrated with Irish food. Well…

This post is about my best friends 27th birthday! For Allegra’s birthday dinner I was in charge of the appetizer and dessert. Her sister was making a curry for dinner so I made a new app, firecracker shrimp, that I have never tried before. It was seriously easy and so good. This is the perfect…
