I included a holiday palova in The Cake Book (in…

Think like an Oreo or, even better, like Trader Joe’s Candy Cane Joe-Joe’s. I have eaten more Candy Cane Joe-Joe’s than I’ll ever admit. Ever.

Burnt Sugar Muscovado Truffles are such the perfect, ultimate sweet treat to my always modest palate. We whip up some burnt sugar which is so easy (1 ingredient) and takes little effort. It’s so easy we’re sipping champagne as we do this, because it’s the holidays and we’re feeling it. As the burnt sugar hardens, we combine the truffle filling…
This is always one of the funnest posts to do every year. Can I say funnest? I love to see what everyone’s favorite DisplacedHousewife recipes are. And this year it’s lots of cookies, muffins, raspberries and chocolate: there’s a reason we’ve found each other. I’ve already started working on recipes for the New Year. I’m excited to have more free…
On My Mind Guyyysssss!!! I turned my manuscript in!!!! So excited. So now we move onto editing and photographing everything. The manuscript is in my editor’s hands now but as I’m baking everything for photos this month I already see lots of edits and I have a sneaking suspicion that that never ends. Photos are fun…it’s really hard for me…

Gavin was laying on the couch building…
We’re not making baked apples nearly as often as we should. I know this. For a fact. It’s just not a go-to dessert and I’d like to change that. First, because it is next-level deliciousness. Second, because it’s one of the easiest desserts you’ll ever make. I’m proposing these cranberry pecan baked apples as a sweet treat to get us through until…

This ice cream base recipe is a merger between the Barefoot Contessa’s and…
This is a frisky marrying of a very new and very old recipe. This first one is adapted from the NY Times Dark Chocolate Mint Sorbet recipe. This sorbet is so dang easy to make I can hardly stand it. Zero cream. Nada eggs. Which makes me feel like I’m practically juicing it’s so healthy. I’m digging booze-cooking this week, so I wanted to…
