You guys. This cherry strudel recipe is quite amazing if I do say so myself. Don’t be intimidated by the “homemade vegan puff pastry” part. It’s pretty simple, I promise. A few weeks ago, hubs and I were out, and I got a slice of cherry strudel. It was delicious - and I vowed to …
Living in Virginia, we don’t get a ton of snow, especially in Fredericksburg. Maybe about two to three really good snowfalls per year. We just had one about a week ago - 8 or 9 inches, which is a lot by any standard! Our family and friends in the northeast, especially in the Boston area, …

I’ve always wanted to try my hand at making thin mint cookies. Years ago, I tried one recipe that turned out pretty disastrous; the cookies melted into one another, a phenomenon that my roommate Jamie and I called “amoeba” cookies. This recipe contains no amoebas! Each cookie keeps its shape - that why I stuck …
I’ve been making homemade peppermint patties for the last few years. They are made with coconut, cashews, and peppermint. And they’re pretty delicious. But then I got to thinking: what if I wanted to make them nut-free? I have a good friend, Lindsay, whose husband is allergic to nuts. It takes all of my memory …
