And Behind the Curtain Dessert Challenge!

Once again, the fine folks of Southside Christian Church have served as worthy taste testers for my latest recipe. In this case, I placed a couple of plastic containers full of these little gems in the narthex. I share my concoctions there for […]

And Behind the Curtain Dessert Challenge!

Can I tell you how good it is to eat again? After 2 weeks of the most ferocious sore throat I have ever endured, I am ready to experience the splendor and DELIGHT of eating again. And what a way to come back […]

Cherry Lime Truffle Cups

And Behind the Curtain Dessert Challenge!

It’s funny how inspiration comes in different forms. As a composer, I see inspiration all around me — in colors, textures, emotions and other elements of our everyday existence. For instance, I can hear a certain rhythm in the sound of children playing […]

Peel and Core a Pineapple

By Sherry K on January 29th, 2013

It’s Zippy Tip Tuesday!

Up until a couple of years ago, I only bought pineapple in cans.

Sure, I preferred fresh, but it just seemed like it was too much work. If I did buy fresh, it was already cored and peeled for me. But I’m […]

It’s Zippy Tip Tuesday!

It has occurred to me that with the Super Bowl coming up, there is probably going to be a lot of guacamole made in the next couple of weeks.

Stovetop Potpourri

By Sherry K on January 15th, 2013

It’s Zippy Tip Tuesday!

Do you find yourself using some pretty odiferous ingredients when you cook? One night of fish or onions or broccoli can leave the house stinking for days. My S.O.’s solution is to trek through the house spraying room freshener, but that stuff can be […]

Chocolate Crepes with Orange Creme

By Sherry K on January 10th, 2013

My S.O.’s brother and sister-in-law (E and L) came for an overnight visit last weekend.

They have 2 dogs also, so you can imagine that this place was a racetrack for a couple of days! We were thoroughly entertained while watching them all romp around the house. One of […]

How to Make Orange Supremes

By Sherry K on January 7th, 2013

It’s Zippy Tip Tuesday!

Ya know, it’s a funny thing.

Whenever I buy oranges and place them in a bowl on the counter, they just seem to remain on the counter. Now, that isn’t to say that we don’t enjoy eating oranges. We love them! But […]

It’s Zippy Tip Tuesday!

Sugared cranberries make a stunningly wonderful addition to a holiday table.

Last week, I used sugared cranberries to garnish my Spiced Cranberry Chocolate Cake, and it dawned on me that others might benefit from knowing how to make these beautiful crystallized jewels. The technique […]
