February 1, 2023 By colettezabo

If you’re looking for a quick last-minute gift, there’s nothing sweeter or more thoughtful than something homemade. Why not make Fortune Cookies for that special someone? Grab a non-toxic marker like Sharpie, cut up some cute paper (like origami) into strips and write your own little messages for the best-ever fortunes. Whether it’s Mother’s Day, […]

Lemon Poppyseed Cupcakes & Torched Meringue

January 13, 2023 By colettezabo

There’s elegance in simplicity. Lemon Poppyseed Cupcakes with Torched Meringue are just that. Two of my favorites in one, they have a delicate crumb and fresh lemon scent.  Crowned with a swirl of glossy whipped meringue, they’re bound to turn heads anywhere you take them. Meringue has always been wildly popular. Back in the 1980’s, my […]

Easy Salt Dough Ornaments and a Sea-themed Christmas Tree

December 22, 2022 By colettezabo

Years ago, I bought some air-dry clay for Daisy to make things. It wasn’t til recently that I discovered how easy it is to make something similar at home using non-toxic safe things already in the pantry. And, since my li’l nugget asked for a sea-themed Christmas tree, homemade Salt Dough Ornaments were the answer. […]

Halloween Monster Cookies

October 30, 2022 By colettezabo

These Halloween Monster Cookies are super chocolaty and hilarious. They look like a witch’s brew, with candy eyeballs and festive colored sprinkles on top. There’s no need for food coloring to achieve that spooky color here. Black cocoa naturally gives these sweeties that deep, dark color and rich chocolaty flavor. It is basically Dutch-process cocoa […]

The Cocktail Hour: Dragon’s Kiss

Dragon's Kiss Cocktail came about one Friday night when I stopped by the grocery store on my way home from work. Brain-dead and ready for the long weekend, my stomach was grumbling like a caged beast. What usually happens in situations like this one is that I push the shopping cart up and down every ...

Enchiladas tonight! 🇲🇽 Shawn marinated the Enchiladas tonight! 🇲🇽 

Shawn marinated the chicken with garlic, lime, salt and then grilled it to perfection. 

He roasted red onions with homegrown tomatillos and blitzed them with lime, cilantro, red chili.

I made a chevre filling adapted from @bobbyflay, added the chicken, wrapped them with fresh tortillas, smothered the lot with Shawn's salsa, topped with @tillamook farmstyle shredded cheese and tucked them into the oven.
