This creamy cocktail is one of my holiday favorites. I always have a little heavy cream leftover when I bake, and this is the perfect way to use it up.

This cocktail is a dreamy combination of heavy cream, amaretto, vodka and Bailey's Almande with a dusting of nutmeg. 

What could be more apropos for the holidays?

This creamy, savory soup comes together in just minutes using canned pumpkin puree.

I always seem to have an extra can of pumpkin puree in the pantry after the holidays are over, so I finally decided to create a quick and cozy soup recipe using the puree. 

This classic cocktail recipe is a variation on a traditional whiskey sour. It's a great winter cocktail because it combines the warm rich notes of ginger and honey with bright citrus notes. 

With a healthy dose of whiskey as well! 

When I saw the recipe for a Caramel Snickerdoodle Martini on the Delish site last winter, I knew I had to try it! 

When I've had a long day and am tired and hungry, I always reach for pasta.  Buttered noodles are quick and easy - and entirely satisfying... but this ramen recipe is even better than plain buttered noodles. 

Indian Pudding, which is sort of like a soft spiced gingerbread or custard, will never win an award in the looks department, but is an oddly delicious, comforting sweet dessert dish, served warm often under a scoop of vanilla ice cream, in New England. 

It’s also one of the first uniquely American recipes, likely adapted from British hasty pudding by early  settlers coming to this country with Indian cornmeal standing in for the more traditional wheat flour. 

While cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg are traditional spices used, feel free to experiment with cardamom or other spices you prefer.

Gruyere Gougeres. Say that three times fast!

I've been debating getting rid of our microwave. Full disclosure: I'm not even sure why we even have one in the first place.

Puttanesca is a traditional Italian pasta dish that is not for the faint of heart. The flavors are very forward and in-your-face, but not in a bad way at all. 

October 30th is National Candy Corn Day. Yup, the most-beloved (or most hated, depending on which side you're on) Halloween candy actually has a whole day devoted to it. 

My husband occasionally sends me recipes he sees online that he thinks look good and asks me to make them. He recently sent me this recipe from The Kitchn called Chocolate Eclair Cake.
