With Cranberry Whiskey Sauce

I’m not sure there’s anything that screams Christmas more than eggnog and cranberries. And when combined in a creamy cheesecake with a little zip of whiskey, I say let the festive season begin!

My White Chocolate Eggnog Cheesecake with Cranberry Whiskey Sauce […]

It’s Zippy Tip Tuesday!

There is something about using white chocolate as a garnish that turns any holiday dessert into a stunning centerpiece. In this zippy tip video, I show how to create white chocolate curls, grated “snow” and snowflakes for use on cheesecakes, cupcakes, pies and any Christmas or winter […]

Fireball Cider Rice Pudding

By Sherry K on December 6th, 2013

I was long overdue.

Every year for the longest time, I fixed an Indian feast for a small group of friends. We gorged on Tandoori chicken, baba ganoush, chicken in a spicy coconut milk sauce with raisins and cashews, a turmeric spinach and potato dish, curried […]

By Sherry K on October 10th, 2013

There are so many things that I like about fall.

It’s Zippy Tip Tuesday!

My friend Sandy and I used to go to an apple orchard up in Michigan every fall to pick apples. A gruff old guy owned the place. And when you pulled in, he grunted out the usual rundown of all the different types of apples he had, […]

Caramel Apple Peanut Butter Paradise

By Sherry K on September 12th, 2013

Last night, I was riding my bicycle around our neighborhood, like I always do in the evening. Since it has been a sweltering 97 degrees the last couple of days (in September? Are you kidding me?), I have been going later than usual. I also walk the dogs in the morning; […]

Gingered Carrot Ice Cream

By Sherry K on September 5th, 2013

S.O. and I had the loveliest time dining at our friend Lynn’s last week. Lynn just loves to “put on the dog” when it comes to fixing a good meal. Back in the day, she worked at a junior high school as a Home Economics teacher. So preparing […]
