In the midst of the Christmas craze I was craving a home cooked meal. Between work, Christmas programs and festivities I hit a wall and decided to hole up at home. I had noticed a chicken dish by Emeril on Good Morning America the week before and for once had everything I needed. This dish…
[donotprint] I decided it was time to serve up some Christmas cookies here at Adventures In The Kitchen. Like every family we have our family favorites. Our Pecan Tootsies are at our family gatherings every year. Last year I discovered Orange Madeleines and Ginger Creme Sandwiches. This year I tried the Chocolate Hazelnut BIscotti’s in…
[donotprint] Today I give you foodie crack. I am warning you these are terribly addictive. You need to make extra because you will eat a few before they make the serving plate. Last weekend I brought these to my good friend Carol’s annual Christmas party. One partygoer ate more than half of them. He commented…
This is one of my new favorite tarts. I made this for Thanksgiving and feel in love with it, as did my family. It is a perfect holiday dessert. The mixture of creamy, buttery caramel, the tartness of the cranberries and the crunch of the…
I have to confess I had never tried Panna Cotta until now. This recipe kept calling to me. The Apple Cider with Ginger cookies seemed to scream fall. I loved the contrast of the cold apple cider gelee with the cream panna cotta. The Ginger cookies were crisp and spicy. Food is my expression of…
Has anyone noticed that the eighties seem to be back. From the hair to the leggings I see my college days everywhere I look. I’m not sure that is an era I want to revisit. Every time I contemplate leggings again I just think about Flashdance and walk on by. Though I did buy jeans…

One of my favorite sides is the corn pudding dish. Usually I go right for Ina Garten’s but thought I’d try something new this year. I saw this one from Alton and was intrigued. Don’t forget to enter the Cookbook Giveaway by entering a comment on your favorite side dish here. I used the Parmesan…
I have a Thanksgiving giveaway to celebrate Thanksgiving week here at Adventures in the Kitchen. I received a copy of Diane Morgan’s new cookbook The New Thanksgiving Table by Chronicle Books. I loved it so much I asked the kind people at Chronicle if they would share a copy with one lucky reader and they…
It is Thanksgiving Week and I have many recipes to share with you. I love Thanksgiving, don’t you? It is probably my favorite holiday. I love hanging with my family and this year Max, my new Yorki Poo. Later in the day we go to see a movie together as a family. When I was…
This recipe is from the Pastry Queen Cookbook. The author used to have a cafe in Fredricksburg, Texas. She was known for her Tortilla Soup. Someone told me about this place and though it closed before I could visit, I found her cookbook. Ingredients
We had our annual fundraiser a week ago which explains my lack of posting for a few weeks. Leading up to it I had volunteers coming in every day to help on special projects. I had goodies on hand each day for them. One of the days I served these cookies from Back to the…
