The DeLish Bite

The holidays can be a hectic time for all of us and, as such, some things tend to go by the wayside. Cleaning for example. I mean, amidst all of those holiday parties, Christmas shopping, gift-wrapping and, of course, holiday baking, who has the time to keep your home and kitchen clean?

We are in the midst of holiday party season and if you are like most people, the tendency to over-indulge on those, seemingly light and healthy, but often actually highly caloric canapes and hors d'oeuvres, is difficult to resist. Enter The Simply Bar.

Here is the next recipe in my holiday cookie exchange series! These really are the most amazing cookie...for an extra special treat, make using all organic ingredients!

Ok, I thought it was about time to introduce you to my inspiration behind food blogs - and recipes, food writing, photography, trends, etc. etc...

Here is the next recipe in my holiday cookie exchange and I have a sneaking suspicion that you are really going to love them!

It is definitely that time of year when people start thinking about all the little things that make their particular holiday season special. In our family, we have an annual tradition of kicking off the holidays, with an all-day-holiday-cookie-baking-spree.

The holiday season is officially upon us. My first indication was earlier this week when I walked into my local Starbucks and the baristas (adorned in their red holiday shirts) were joyfully passing out festive cups, filled to the brim with holiday themed lattes like Spicy Gingerbread and Eggnog Latte, and Peppermint Mocha. My second indication came early this morning when I walked outside to meet a good 10 cm of snow - Our very first winter wonderland of the season!

The other day a colleague of mine asked me what was the one staple ingredient that I could not live (or simply cook) without. My immediate response was sea salt. Well, to be precise, Maldon Sea Salt.

Potatoes. They are without a doubt one of the most versatile vegetables available, especially during the cold winter months when we turn to rustic and hearty recipes to keep us warm and toasty!

We have been very spoiled the last few days with beautiful early-fall-like weather. However, waking up this morning it was clear that winter really is drawing near.
