Cardamom Pear Crisp

In this Cardamom Pear Crisp, bartlett pears are seasoned with cinnamon and cardamom and topped with a brown sugar oat crumble topping.

Authentic Hungarian Walnut Rolls

Authentic Hungarian Walnut Rolls

These traditional Hungarian Walnut Rolls are technically a Christmas cookie but I like to think of them as a Make-Any-Day-Better cookie. These Hungarian specialties are another one of my Husband’s favorite cookies from childhood. They utilize the same cream cheese dough as the Hungarian Apricot Kolaches but they taste remarkably different. When I first tasted them…

Soft, Chewy Gingerbread Boys – My Family Recipe

To me a Christmas without Christmas cookies was no Christmas at all, and the crux of the Christmas cookies was Gingerbread Boys {& Girls!}. They had to be soft and chewy; they had to be my mom’s family recipe; and they had to have raisins. To me these Gingerbread Boys were more than just a…

Apricot Kolaches – A Traditional Hungarian Christmas Cookie

I had other (healthier) plans for today’s post but these little, two-bite Hungarian Christmas Cookies (Kiffles / Kolaches) are just too good not to share immediately!

Double Chocolate Peppermint Kiss Cookies

When I think of Christmas foods, I think of one thing. [Well, okay, maybe two things, but Advent Calendars hardly count.] I think of Christmas cookies!!! No Christmas Cookie collection would be complete without the ubiquitous peppermint addition. This year I decided I really, really wanted chocolate with that peppermint. These Double Chocolate Peppermint Kiss…

Easy Foolproof Pumpkin Pie

December 8, 2013 by Lindsey 82 Comments

Easy Foolproof Pumpkin Pie

This is the backup pie. Not because it doesn’t shine on it’s own (it does), but because it is the pie that I never have to worry about; the pie that I know will be sensational just in case my other pies are a flop.  It is creamy with just the right amount of spice….

Molasses Spice Cookies

Molasses Spice Cookies

I only ate 5 cookies 6 of these cookies while photographing them. I consider this to be a gigantic feat because these little guys are straight up addicting. Crunchy on the outside and perfectly chewy within. They taste similar to gingerbread cookies but with a less cakey texture. They taste like Christmas and Winter and happy…
