Whether you're all about Valentine's Day, or ready to drown your sorrows, these red wine whoopie pies are for you! A few weeks ago, I spent the day at Salon, shooting some new desserts for Salon TV. We had so much fun filming, chatting and making these boozy whoopie pies, that I've been on pins and needles waiting to share the recipe with you! You already know about my love of baking with red wine, and I've never been one to turn down a classic whoopie pie, so when asked to come up with the ultimate Valentine's Day dessert, I thought why not ...
Pumpkin Spiked Coffee Scones
Why drink a PSL when you can eat a pumpkin spiked coffee scone! I normally don't open the first can of pumpkin until November, maybe late October, but the other day I woke up and thought I need to make pumpkin scones and they must have whiskey. I really don't know where it came from because it's been about 98 degrees every day in the tropical tundra known as Nashville where I currently reside, and I have plenty of projects that need to be wrapped up like yesterday, but it was on. Temperature and projects aside, I flew down the stairs, ...

If you're wondering what in the world a pink squirrel is, you're not alone! I'd never heard of it until few weeks ago when I was home for Mother's Day. We were out to dinner at this little Italian restaurant in the neighborhood, chatting about a million things over stuffed clams and calamari when my grandma started talking about pink squirrels. I think it was probably the only moment all of us were silent. "Gram, what's a pink squirrel?" I didn't have a clue what she was talking about. Gram said it was vanilla ice cream, strawberries and ...
The Tipsy Whiskey Layer Cake
I spent a few weeks over the summer hopping all over Ireland, bakery hopping to be exact. I completely fell in love with the country, the people and the food. I learned a lot in a few weeks, including taking a break from everything and getting back to my roots was exactly what I needed. I was completely shocked by how much I loved spending time in the country. I mean, I knew I'd love the city, but spending time in the country, I wasn't so sure. The only question now is when can I go back? What shocked this city girl even more were the ...
