Canadian Thanksgiving was celebrated this week, and although we never had a thanksgiving dinner at our house before, we figured why not use this as an excuse for dinner with friends? I mean, regardless of any religion or belief, we ARE supposed to be thankful for what we are fortunate enough to have, so we […]
Rugelach are, to me, the easier version of a croissant. I know I know, it’s not the same, but hey, when you’re a working mom in need of kitchen entertainment and a delicious addition next to your coffee AND you’re on a tight schedule – these ROCK. Traditionally what I’d do is make these from […]
