Sweetheart Tea Cookies
by diana.egnatzBack in the day, Valentine’s Day held much anticipation of candy and little notes from my school friends. I remember in elementary school decorating little bags and boxes with pink and red hearts, covered in glitter in the hopes that I would get all sorts of little missives delivered. One year I even made my own valentines with paper doilies and red construction paper, and they...

Spiked Chocolate Fondue
by diana.egnatzIt's Valentine's season and that means CHOCOLATE! I love the stuff, especially when surrounding carmel and finished with sea salt (Cutie, I hope you're taking notes). However, I'm looking for something hot to keep me warm on these cold winter nights! We're getting a snow storm tomorrow; this is the perfect decadence for a lazy day. I love making this for parties because it...

Sweet Tooth Tuesdays: Cute Pies for my Cutie Pie
by diana.egnatzIt’s February folks and that means that Valentines Day is right around the corner, seven days away to be exact! It’s been way to long since I last posted so I thought I’d honor my coming back to Sweet Tooth Tuesdays by hosting Seven Days of Love.

Farmstand Friday: Summer Squash Blossoms
by diana.egnatzSummer is sadly coming to an end, and so is my toasted-marshmallow skin. I had such an amazing season this year, one for the books! However, mother nature isn’t quite done with her sun-kissed goods, yet. Tomatoes are at their peak, hot peppers are popping up all around, and my beloved squash blossoms are blooming once again. This is the time of year I always...

Sweet Tooth Tuesdays: Peach Lavender Macarons
by diana.egnatzI’m peachy keen this week! It’s been bit a transition being back in New York after being away in France for the past few weeks (more about that trip to come…) but I’ve arrived with the farmers markets in full swing; and desire for french patisserie. Everywhere I look there is inspiration. I’ve been talking a lot to farmers about how the weather this...

Sweet Tooth Tuesdays: Angel Food Cake with Strawberry Cream
by diana.egnatzI WUVV this cake! At least that’s what I exclaimed, while stuffing my mouth with a whole slice of cake, when I had my first taste of heavenly cake when I was six. It happens to be my mother’s favorite cake, and so my Grandmother Joyce and I set to work baking my first angel food cake. (This was probably the first cake I ever helped...

Sweet Tooth Tuesdays: Meyer Lemon Mille Crepe with Blueberries
by diana.egnatzWhere has spring gone today? I feel as if Mother Nature is playing a joke on us–one day warm and sunny, the next bitter cold. I am desperate to feel the warm spring air on my face, but I guess I’ll have to settle on a little taste of spring this week. What tastes more like spring than a bright Meyer lemon? Add some...

Farmstand Friday: Spent Grain Pretzels
by diana.egnatzI have my cousin Phillip to thank for the fact that I love beer. He’s been a home brewer for almost a decade, and along the way he’s taught me a thing or two about this tasty beverage. (It’s a little more useful than die hard references.) He’s made me in his image leaning towards Belgium ales and weird sour brews. I’m so grateful for all...
