So I obviously did not meet my goal of posting every day, must less in days! But here is a little light breakfast treat for the holiday season. I saw these in the November issue of Food and Wine and thought I would try them. I had fresh cranberries in my refrigerator so I decided [...]

When I tasted these goat cheese biscuits I knew I had to find the recipe to share them with you. Recently on a visit to Chicago, I visited Table Fifty-Two, a new restaurant opened by Art Smith, Oprah’s chef. You know the power of the O when you try to make a reservation and they [...]
