Lemon Bars
My mom, Colleen Mott, made the best treats ever. We would regularly come home from school to be greeted with something wonderful right out of the oven. Often it was fresh bread or chocolate chip cookies. But sometimes she would surprise us with something different....
Neiman Marcus Chicken
Neiman Marcus has created all sorts of wonderful gourmet dishes. This is one of them. It is sooo delicious AND easy to throw together. Mix together... ...yogurt, bacon, sharp cheddar, mayonnaise, garlic, chives, tabasco, diced nuts and salt & pepper. And that's...
Chicken Pasta
This is based on the old Chicken Spaghetti Casserole from back in the day. It was made with cream of mushroom soup and baked in a casserole dish. I really wanted to update it and Corinne had this recipe from her friend Emilie and it's PERFECT! It's so rich and creamy...
Cranberry Orange Bread
Orange + cranberry is one of my very favorite flavor combinations. The smell of this bread baking is HEAVENLY. This bread feels very festive and is great to serve for almost any holiday, but I will tell you there have been many episodes of late-night-baking of this...

Raisin Filled Cookies
These cookies will surprise you. They are not what you expect. I hear that comment from people all the time. Even if you don't like raisins, you will probably like these. Or, more likely, you will LOVE them. I don't roll them out and make them all pretty. Even so, I...
Beef Pasties
Beef Pasties have been around since the 1100's. Pronounce the A in pasty the same as in apple. They originate in Cornwall, England and were very popular with Cornish Coal Miners. Over the last 200 years, many of those miners became immigrants. When they left Cornwall,...
Chocolate Biscuit Cake
This no-bake cake is a British favorite. In fact, Queen Elizabeth liked a piece at afternoon tea most days. Prince William chose it for his groom's cake at his wedding. It's amazingly easy to make. The hardest part is waiting for it to chill! The Brits use digestive...
