We got to spend a wonderful long weekend with my brother and his family in DisneyWorld last week. The parks were so much fun, and the weather was great… until the last day, when it starting raining at 2pm and didn’t stop until well after midnight. And when I say…
Jalapeño and Cheddar Popovers
Our gruyère popovers are one of the most popular recipes on the blog, and frankly one of our favorite things to make, especially when we have guests. There’s nothing that says welcome, quite like the smell of fresh baked bread. We love to slice them in half when they’re hot out…
Coconut Mascarpone Cream with Caramelized Pineapple
We’ve had several inches of snow on two separate occasions this week, meanwhile my family and many friends are posting pictures of themselves at the beach in my native Brazil, where it’s the peak of summer. So I decided to bring a little bit of summer to my kitchen with this…

Here’s a fun turkey-filled take on the classic shepherd’s pie that gets a little help from leftover gravy…
Maple Whipped Cream
If you’ve never made homemade whipped cream, you’re missing out, and it’s a LOT easier than you might think. Here’s fun fall version of the classic whipped cream that we think is perfect for holiday desserts. We add this maple whipped cream to hot chocolate, pies, and on top of french…
