Cheesy Crab & Hammy Sammy

By Sherry K on May 2nd, 2013

It’s not often that a sandwich comes along and truly knocks my socks off.

This accidental masterpiece started as a way to use up ingredients that I had on hand one Saturday afternoon. But little did I know that I would be so crazy in love with the end […]

with Mini Profiterole Dunkin’ Sticks

My heart is filled with gratitude right now. Many of you read about my aunt and her “Easter feast” a couple of weeks ago. (If you missed the post, it is here: Easter Egg Nest Centerpiece.) Little did I know how close I came […]

Smoky Persimmon Cranberry Compote

By Sherry K on January 24th, 2013

You know how some recipes start out by accident?

Well, I was in the middle of making cranberry sauce when my S.O. called and was lost coming home from a conference in a nearby state. I ran to the computer to get directions, came back to my […]

Chocolate Pumpkin Mousse Pie

By Sherry K on October 25th, 2012

I just love layers. I don’t know, maybe I am influenced by the Legos and Lincoln Logs of my youth; but there’s something about stacking that intrigues me.

So when it comes to stacking flavors, I’m particularly interested. And if those flavors happen to be pumpkin and […]

Ginger Peach Cheesecake Ice Cream

By Sherry K on September 14th, 2012

My best childhood memories involve standing around my grandma’s homemade ice cream maker at family gatherings.

She’d pack the ice and salt around the canister, plug it in, and we’d wait…and wait…and wait…for what seemed like an eternity.

If we were really lucky, […]

Banana Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream

By Sherry K on August 31st, 2012

I hesitated for the longest time to buy the ice cream maker attachment to my KitchenAid stand mixer.

After all, if I bought the attachment, wouldn’t I be tempted to make (and eat) ice cream everyday? Who needs temptations like that? But the thought of getting […]
