I’m always blown away by the creativity and imagination of our TK members. As one with two left thumbs with no sense of color matching, who can pipe frosting only if the intended shape is “lumps of no discernible form,” seeing all your creations fills me with awe and, okay, a tinge of jealousy.

One of my favorite ways to warm up on these chilly days is a hot cup of deliciousness. Like this Pumpkin Spice Hot Apple Cider recipe from Erin. When you can settle into your sofa, with your fingers curled around a mug of something like this, your day just seems to get better. The tangy cider is paired with a spice-filled pumpkin syrup (adapted from Julie at Savvy Eats), and it is so good!View Post →

I always like to try a few new cookie recipes every season. I was looking for a festive holiday cookie recipe on Tasty Kitchen and stumbled upon Monique's recipe for Brown Butter Snickerdoodle Cookies. My search was over.

Brown butter takes butter, an already glorious ingredient, to a new level of gloriousness. If you haven't tried brown butter, don't wait any longer---make these Brown Butter Snickerdoodles. View Post →

These Cranberry Orange Bars, shared by Stephanie, fit the bill perfectly. I love cranberry sauce, and these bars are the perfect combination of a sweetly tart cranberry sauce, sandwiched between a tasty cobbler-type crust and topping. Using just a few easy ingredients, you can have these bars whipped up in no time. View Post →
