Use edible food paint to make these colorful splatter painted French Macarons! Plus, a step by step recipe for plain french macaron shells.
Painting macarons, or sugar cookies or cakes, for that matter is so easy! All you need is some high quality food coloring gel, a food safe paintbrush, and a bit of vodka or almond extract.
I probably should have inserted some some sort of joke here about drinking vodka to reduce the stress of making macarons, but it’s actually for your paint! It’s the perfect solvent for your gel food coloring. It evaporates when it dries and leaves no taste or unwanted color behind…. Read More »

How to Host a Fabulous Friendsgiving – everything from a copper and navy table design to easy menu ideas, including a spicy cranberry cheese dip recipe!
Thanksgiving is my FAVORITE day of the year. In fact, if I had my way, I’d celebrate it at least monthly all year round!

This brûléed pear burrata crostini is elegant and fancy, but it’s so easy to make! It’s sure to be a favorite appetizer at your holiday party this year.
Pear and burrata cheese are perfect crostini partners, but the layer of caramelized sugar on top of the pear really makes the recipe. It makes me want to get in the habit of brulee-ing everything.

Brûléed cheesecake? Or donuts? Brûléed cookies? YUM…. Read More »
