When we chose 'Festive Favourites' as the theme for our December Sweet Adventures Blog Hop, the first thing that came to mind was 'how on earth am I expected to choose just one favourite dessert from the raft of holiday celebratory sweets that are out there'? It just isn't fair to all the others! But I managed [ha!] and if you're busy baking your way through December as well, make sure to join the SABH and link up your Festive Fav Dessert at the bottom of this post. You can also read more about … [Read more...]
To the D to the C to the W-A-S-H…oh never mind
I bet you forgot all about the fact that I was recapping a big'ol trip, didn't you - not particularly surprising as we left San Diego headed for DC back in October and then, well, what can I say, it was a really loooong flight. But look! Here we are, on the ground and the adventure continues... Over the next few trip posts there will definitely be a hotel decorated in red and cow hide with statement pink lamps [not even joking] and 2 afternoon lunches at the same a DC institution [oysters, … [Read more...]

Now go make some Pie. … [Read more...]
Spiced Red Wine Poached Pears
RJ and I went through a phase a few years ago where I was making these pears all the time. We used to slice them up and have them over vanilla ice cream for dessert, yes, it is as delicious as it sounds. When I was brainstorming toppings for my Deconstructed Chocolate Pavlova, pears came to mind as a great match with chocolate, and since red wine pairs with both, here we are. There are just as good as I remember. When I first made them a week earlier for the sort-of-not-quite coconut sugar … [Read more...]
Not your ordinary Gingerbread… and oh, I’m famous…
Oooh, what a mysterious title. Not really all that mysterious, but it's late and so, you know, that's my story and I'm sticking to it. Also, ~famous~ is entirely relative in its use here, but we'll get to that shortly. There are many things about this Gingerbread that do indeed make it extra-ordinary however. For starters it has Pomegranate seeds on it - how festive are those little buggers?! And then there is the piping - Eggnog Royal Icing. Yep, you read right, Eggnog.Royal.Icing. A … [Read more...]
Sweet Adventures Blog Hop: Festive Favourites

America-land Chocolate Pudding
You wouldn't think that Chocolate Pudding was a term that needed clarification, but alas it does. Ordering Chocolate Pudding in 'lands of the Queen's rule' will bring to your table a decadent piece of cake - generally with a delicious sauce over the top, or as a molten pool in the middle, or created in the bottom of the baking dish. Now there is nothing wrong with this kind of Pudding - as a matter of fact, there are very many things right with it... but it's ultimately cake and not remotely … [Read more...]
