Good-bye, Swiss Miss and Nestle. I’m breaking up with you and have found something waaaay better. It’s not you, it’s me. I’ve found another tall drink of chocolate. Friends, this is no ordinary hot cocoa. It’s thick and creamy, sweet but not too sweet, boozy or not (alcohol content is up to you, but you […]

Hear ye, hear ye! Public service announcement coming your way. I propose we have a “national salad day” sometime between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Anyone agree? It’s right about now that I feel as if stuffing, gravy, and baked brie are my main food groups. My refrigerator is full of heavy whipping cream, leftover pumpkin pie, […]

I wish I had discovered something like this years ago. I could have bought a small yacht with the money I have spent on overpriced candles. Well, probably not a yacht. Maybe just used rowboat. Don’t get me wrong, I still have a drawer full of candles that get burned faster than kindling. However, I’m glad to give my candle […]

You can thank my Grandma Braem for these heavenly bites. She made toffee bars every Christmas growing up, and I cannot wait to share them with you. I would describe them as dense, buttery, cookie-brownie-toffee squares. They include only 6 actual ingredients (if you don’t count salt), and only take a few minutes to prepare. […]

This is not your mother’s green bean casserole. Not that I have anything against her, of course; I am sure she’s absolutely wonderful. What I mean by that statement is this: sherry, mushroom, and garlic roux + fresh green beans + homemade crispy onions. Can I get an amen? Anything you might have had against […]

If I lost some of you with that last sentence, don’t worry, this soufflé is unique enough that it could be enjoyed alongside your traditional […]

So you don’t like brussels sprouts? That’s ok. These aren’t really brussels sprouts- they’re caramelized green goddesses. Shortly into our relationship, Patrick told me that he absolutely adored brussels sprouts. Who adores brussels sprouts? No one. Thus a challenge was put before me. Come up with a brussels sprout recipe that does not involve wrapping them […]

Happy Halloween!! Are you headed to a party and in need of some fall snack inspiration? Or three ideas? Something relatively easy but crowd-pleasing? This was my dilemma last week. Between Google and Pinterest I had approximately 3 trillion recipe inspirations but none of them jumped out at me. Instead my eyes were assaulted by the thousands […]

I’ve been craving these ever since my visit to Haute Coffee in Concord, MA. My family and I were on an autumn excursion to “leaf peep” in the gorgeous weather, and we couldn’t very well do so without coffee and pastries. We have priorities, obviously. My sister-in-law, Jen, ordered coffee and this delicious looking maple cookie with […]

Ever since starting Dahlia Kitchen it has become quite obvious to me what are my most commonly used ingredients. Shredded coconut is high on the list, along with scallions, garlic, shallots, and a “tablespoon” (cough cough) of bourbon. So please forgive me for another recipe with shredded coconut. I couldn’t resist. At least I didn’t pour […]
