Ahhh, the homemade baguette. It is the ultimate bread-making experience. There is nothing like the smell and taste of a freshly baked French baguette. Crusty and beautifully colored on the outside, buttery soft and chewy on the inside, Serve it with butter, olive oil, or with your favorite soup. It’s a perfect way to say “I love you” to you anyone (including yourself).
Is there anything more comforting on a chilly day than a nice hot bowl of French onion soup? Especially with thick slices of toasted baguettes topped with gooey cheese.
This soup is one that takes time. It’s not a quick whip together, but it’s worth the time, I promise.

Cheers! It’s the holiday season, which means it’s also cocktail season. So for part two of my cranberry recipes, I’m going to share my Wisconsin Twist on an Italian Classic, the Bellini! Bellinis are sparkling Italian cocktails made with two simple ingredients: Prosecco and white peach purée. They’re fizzy and refreshing, and perfect to change up with nice cool Cranberry Ganita instead of peaches.
The post introduces a simple recipe for Cranberry Granita, a wholesome Sicilian dessert apt for holiday menus. The creation process is plain and stress-free: prepare ingredients, blend to a purée, sift, freeze, and break up portions. There’s an option to add it to cocktails, including a cranberry Bellini to pair with brunch. The author appreciates feedback on the recipe and shares an accompanying Pinterest pin for easy reference.
Would you believe me if I told you that most of the “pumpkin” flavor you associate with pumpkin spice anything comes from the spice, not the pumpkin? It’s true. Pumpkin on its own has a very mild light and dare I say plan flavor to it. It begs for some warming spices to meet their true potential as the flavors we all know and love.
Mozzarella croutons are a delicious and easy way to use up leftover baguettes. They can be used as a topping for soups and salads, served as appetizers, or enjoyed as a snack.
Consider this your new, go-to waffle recipe. When you want to start your day off on a sweet note, this is the perfect recipe to use! It all gets mixed in one bowl, and still yields a crisp outside, but fluffy inside!

Today, I thought we could go back to the basics and review a simple skill that every good home cook should master, how to bake a potato.
I know what you’re thinking, why all the fuss about a baked potato? Well, let me start by saying if you’ve ever enjoyed a good supper club/restaurant-style baked potato, you know what I’m talking about. Those baked potatoes with skins that are irresistibly golden, and crispy with a satisfying hint of crunchy salt in each bite. The insides are perfectly light, fluffy, and steamy, ready to enjoy with a melty pad of butter, a dash of fresh chives, or maybe loaded up with all of your favorite toppings. If you’ve had that, then you know what the fuss is about. If not, trust me when I say it’s worth the extra time needed to make the potato.
