Chocolate Caramel Corn I have a handful of issues when it comes to food. As in the type of issues where one could potentially find me in a dark corner of the closet, well, closet eating. I think my number one “issue” very well may be caramel corn. (does anyone else have a vice this…
One of my traditional Christmas Season Cookies is this Chocolate, Pistachio and Cranberry Biscotti. I have always loved biscotti, and it is a favorite with afternoon coffee in my house.
One of my favorite things about the Holidays is sharing with others. There are so many ways to do this, but my specialty is sharing through food. This White Chocolate Almond Bark and many other recipes are shared in my shutterfly edible gifts books. I have them here today to give away to you!

There has been a massive heat wave up here in Seattle. It has caused my huge fig tree to not only ripen several weeks early, but with monstrous figs. I managed to pick 22 pounds this morning! I had no choice but to get cooking (and canning), and brew up an enormous batch of fig…
