Soft Pretzels
Posted by Tracy | Filed under breads & pastries
Earlier this month, my baking buddy Becky and I decided that it had been far too long since we’d gotten together to make something fun. We decided on pretzels, and I thought they would be perfect to post this week for Super Bowl weekend. There are so many different varieties you can make – salted/garlic salted, [...]

Chocolate Kahlua Pie
Posted by Tracy | Filed under desserts & sweets
When I saw this pie on Chris and Karen’s blog last week in the middle of everything else that was going on in my life, it seemed like a match made in heaven. Of course, the original recipe also calls for a Kahlua whipped cream topping…and while I have no doubt that it is wonderful, [...]

Farfalle with Bacon, Onion, and Gouda
Posted by Tracy | Filed under dinner
I just have to preface this post by saying that this is NOT diet food. While TV commercials, blogs, magazines, gyms, and weight loss programs are all pushing for everyone to get on a health kick right now that they likely won’t sustain past the end of the month, I’m going to keep on sticking to [...]
Orange Scones
Posted by Tracy | Filed under breakfast & brunch
From cranberry scones to savory bacon-swiss scones to the scone that started it all: the vanilla bean scone (hubby’s personal favorite), I just can’t help coming up with new versions of this recipe. This time I went with orange; I’ve made orange scones in the past, but I used a different recipe that isn’t nearly [...]
