Homebaked Happiness
There are a lot of really special places, scents, and sights during the holidays. Christmas tree farms, crisp winter air, hot chocolate, apple cider, and peppermint everything. But unmistakably, the most comforting scent and place during the holidays is the heart of the home: the kitchen. Everything happens in the kitchen during the holidays - countless meals, fellowship, love, and laughs. My favorite kitchen activity in December? Baking homemade sugar cookies to decorate with royal flood icing. There have been several times (this year is one of them) where I have had to be, ahem, creative with gift giving. Those are the really special years where I go hog wild, pig crazy in the kitchen with endless cookie tins. I mean, I bake for days. The rest of the house rolls their eyes at me just a little bit...until I share some of the delicious goods, that is. By the end of the baking session, both myself and the kitchen are covered in flour and royal icing but there are some beautiful and scrumptious cookies to share with friends and family!

Easy to do French Macarons
It all started when I went overseas and had macarons for dessert. I had not tried them in the U.S. yet. No one I knew at the time ever had any. It was quite an experience. I didn't know a delicate little cookie could be crispy and soft and flavorful. I had to find out how to make them. Doing research about these cute little patisseries was at first disheartening. Everybody talked about how difficult it was. Everybody said how easy it was to fail. They said if your oven was off by even a little, the macarons would be ruined. With a little coaxing and reassurance from my husband, I decided to try anyway. I tried a couple recipes until I finally got the delicate cookies right! Then, I wondered what made these so difficult. What could I do to make this process a bit better? That is how this recipe came about. I hope it helps you the way it helped me and makes macaron baking a bit less intimidating.

Glass Of Wine, Bowl Full Of Penne Pasta And Some Soulful Music- Perfect!
Everyone has their own ways of enjoying Red wine. For some people red wine and cheesy chips are a guilty pleasure, some like to have it with Plum cake but Red wine with white sauce pasta is like a guilty pleasure. And to top it all, I like to add some slow and soothing music, like violin music after all I am a music lover, therefore can't help it.

FaLaLaLa Salted Carmel
There will always be cookies found around our places come the holidays. I quiet literally bake thousands of them each year, finding flour, sugar and butter in every nook and cranny for months to come and one of my most popular cookies is the Salted Caramel, usually cut into a fun shapes like a tree or if I'm feeling particularly overwhelmed that year, a "Christmas ball," I bake about four dozen every holiday even more throughout the year, and they disappear almost faster then I can make them. I even murdered my share of mixers on my cookie escapade. But It's worth it in the end for I truly believe no one should go without something at Christmas, even if that something is a card with just a cookie or twelve.

Best of the Holidays
The holidays are absolutely my favorite time of the year. I wish we could take the feeling of the holiday sprite and share that all year long. But Christmas sprite only last a couple of weeks and so we have to take advantage of that. One of the fun activities that we all enjoy is all the cooking that goes on. I mean it is tradition, we all have are favorite side dishes and desserts we love making and sharing during the holidays. I can remember as a small child walking in to my Nana's house on Christmas and that smell of the wonderful food that she had been preparing all day long. Of course Santa Claus had come to her house the night before and left me and my 2 sisters and, of course all of our cousins huge bags of toys. As you get older it is memories like that you hold on too. And so now it is time to make special Christmas memories with my family.

A Beginner's Guide to 5 Food and Wine Pairings
If you're anything like me, your love of food started early. My parents were never the type to do any type of meal planning, but there was never a shortage of creative cooking in our household. My father liked to experiment with the limited ingredients he could get his hands on in rural Newfoundland and Labrador where we lived, in the center of a cold island on the North-East coast of Canada. My mother made us pancakes and blueberry sauce, fried tomatoes with our breakfast, and considered toast with tea to be a cure for anything that ails you. What passed for a fancy meal or an adventurous ingredient when I was young may seem laughable to me now, but at the time I accepted fruit and yogurt in a wine glass, topped with chocolate shavings, as the very definition of gourmet.
