Herb Cheese Crisps

May 21, 2020 Carrie
Herb Cheese Crisps  - baked and crispy!

Herb Cheese Crisps are a super simple appetizer made with only 3 ingredients - Parmesan cheese, cheddar cheese and fresh from the garden herbs. You can throw in a hot pepper slice for fun too. The crisps come together in about 30 minutes. Serve them hot or at room temperature. We love Herb Cheese Crisps right out of the oven with a glass of wine after a sweet long day in the garden.

Cranberry Orange Olive Oil Cake

Cranberry Orange Olive Oil Cake

Cranberry Orange Olive Oil Cake. What’s better than combining the in season flavors of fresh cranberries and mandarin orange in moist spice cake? Not much, especially if it comes together easily. I can’t get enough of cinnamon, clove, ginger and nutmeg during the holidays, especially in a cake.

No Crust Cranberry Pie is a simple recipe using fresh cranberries and orange zest for an easy last minute dessert. I promise it doesn’t taste last minute. It is a pie made without the fuss of dealing with a crust. Close your eyes on the first bite and you will think you spent the time making crust and filling. Another bonus, no soggy crust woes here!

Pumpkin Pie Spice Blend

November 23, 2019 Carrie
Pumpkin Pie Spice Blend.

Yes, you can buy Pumpkin Pie Spice but you can also make it in about 5 minutes. This recipe is more like a PSA. You know the situation. You start cooking your holiday meal and the recipe calls for Pumpkin Pie Spice. Maybe you didn’t pick it up at your one hundredth trip to the store or maybe you just want to save yourself some dollars and use the spices you already have on hand.

Banana Bread with Extras - chocolate chunks, pecans, coconut and a bourbon glaze.

A moist banana bread loaded with yummy extras. Coconut, chocolate chunks in the loaf and topped with pecans and a bourbon glaze. Sounds like a lot of effort but not. It comes together super fast. This is a perfect option for a brunch or served with ice cream for dessert.
