November 13, 2020

Golden raisin biscotti with toasted almonds are the perfect addition to your holiday baking list. If you are a biscotti lover, try this gingerbread biscotti too!

Because this recipe has a bit of liquid, fruit and butter, it is not quite as hard as most Italian biscotti.

It is still very crunchy, but one thing it is not, is dry. I sprinkled the top with a mixture of coarse sugar and flake sea salt for extra crunch.

How to Make Blueberry Mini Pies from Scratch

April 21, 2020

Blueberry Mini Pies are the epitome of summer. Ripe, juicy blueberries fill delicious buttery dough for the perfect hand-held pie. Mini blueberry pies are perfect for lunch bags, afternoon treats, beach day picnics, and they are small enough for little hands. Mini blueberry pies or mini cherry pies are also great for all of the red, white and blue holidays.
