Coriander Almond Financiers

Coriander Almond Financiers

I love summer.  As you can see by my noticeably absent presence on the web, I’ve been enjoying every minute of it.  While I’ve taken a break from work (and from blogging), I haven’t taken a break from cooking and eating!  Yesterday involved a trip to our local book store, where I devoured every new […]

Sour Cream Breakfast Pancakes with Caramelized Pineapple Topping

  Catchy recipe title, huh?  I don’t often crave pancakes, but when I do, nothing else will suffice.  This past weekend had me nearly racing to the stove to whip up a batch of pancakes, especially after my daughter suggested them for breakfast.  I’ve been eating a lot of eggs for breakfast lately in an […]
