So, Thanksgiving is nearly here and this is my last contribution towards it for this year. These muffins are truly bursting with holiday flavor and IMHO can be used in place of cranberry sauce if you’re just using it for traditional purposes. I would say it’s great to use for using up leftover cranberry sauce […]
Especially during the winter months when it’s cold outside, you want something to warm you up and fill you up as well. Also known as comfort food, I find this a perfect answer to that desire. I’ve made many versions of this and often used wine but decided to go more Irish and used beer […]
My SIL Suzy is a proficient baker and in fact, is the one who went with me to the special baking course (we had such fun together!) and whenever we used to go to her or she came to us, we knew if a baked good was offered to grab it since it was always […]
