Can’t have a birthday without a little Funfetti. Can’t have a birthday without a little Funfetti. Wishing my youngest son a very special day and year ahead. Love you !🩵🩵🩵

Easy #Funfetti #Sugar #Cookies 

3/4 cup (170 g) unsalted butter, softened 
3/4 cup (150 g) granulated white sugar 
1/2 cup (100 g) brown sugar, packed
1 extra large egg, room temperature
1 tsp pure vanilla extract 
2 1/4 cups (280 g) all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cream of tartar
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/3 cup rainbow sprinkles 

Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugars on medium high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Stop the mixer to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
Add the egg and vanilla. Mix on low speed until fully incorporated.
Scrape down the sides of the bowl again to make sure everything is well mixed. 
In a separate bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix on low speed just until combined. Do not over mix 
Remove the bowl from the stand mixer and stir in the rainbow sprinkles by hand with  wooden spoon or fork mindful of not to over mixing the dough.
Using a medium sized cookie scoop (1.5 or 2 tablespoons) scoop out the dough and place onto one of the prepared baking sheets. Refrigerate uncovered for one hour. You must chill this dough. 
Once dough is well chilled, preheat oven to 350F 
Place cookie dough onto lined cookie sheet, spacing 2 to 3 inches apart. I did 6 per sheet. Bake for 5 minutes then rotate the pan and bake for another 6 minutes. The cookies are done when the edges just begin to turn golden brown m.  The centres will look slightly under baked. The my cookies will continue to bake as they cool.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Can’t celebrate #hanukkah without a little latke Can’t celebrate #hanukkah without a little latke love. Here’s my mom’s recipe (with my own twist) enjoy! 

Frieda’s Latkes 

8 medium size red potatoes, peeled and placed in a large bowl of cold water to prevent them from browning) 
1/2 large sweet Vidalia onion 
1/2 tsp white pepper 
1 tsp sea salt 
4 tsps oil (my mom only used mazola corn oil) 
3 heaping tablespoons matzo meal 
2 tsps baking powder 
Starch from potatoes (water drained off first) 
1/4 cup oil for frying
1 carrot, peeled and cut into chunks for frying pan 

How to: 
Grate the potatoes with the onions (my mom ALWAYS grated this by hand) 
*I cut my potatoes and onions into cubes and placed them directly into a food processor reserving 1 whole potato to grate by hand separately* 
Process potatoes until smooth then add in that hand grated potato. 
Place potato mixture into either a clean towel, cheesecloth or believe it or not I use a piece of tulle. Then wrap and squeeze the life outta them over a medium sized bowl to make sure they are as dry as possible. Set aside the remaining starchy liquid that’s in the bowl Leave the mixture wrapped up in a clean bowl until you’re ready to mix it with the balance of your ingredients / it will NOT brown because of the onion being incorporated into the potatoes. 

Whisk your eggs, salt, white pepper, oil in a small bowl. Dump your potatoes into a clean bowl and add the wet mixture as well as the matzo meal and baking powder. Pour off the liquid from the starchy mixture that’s been sitting and scrape the white starch from the bottom of the bowl into your latke mixture. Blend well with a fork until everything is evenly coated. 
Heat a heavy cast iron pan with 1/4 cup oil and a few pieces of carrots. 
Note: my mom made hers in an electric frying pan and they came out perfect every time. The oil has to be hot before you drop in the potato mixture. Use about two tablespoons of the mixture for each latke. Fry for 3 minutes on each side (checking that they are browned and crispy before flipping. Drain on paper towels and serve immediately with applesauce or sour cream #happyhanukkah !

I have dreamt of coming to #italy my entire life. I have dreamt of coming to #italy my entire life. It took 25 years to book this trip and here we are celebrating two milestones this year in Sorrento at a master cooking class offered by @chezbarone_cookingschool with our chef/instructor @annagalano88 

As a #homechef #foodblogger and #foodphotographer this cooking class in this specific location was my ultimate #dreamcometrue 

I dedicate this incredible day in memory of the ONLY top chef I loved and cherished with every bit of my heart. The woman who taught me how to “measure with my eyes and cook from my heart”. And the woman who supported every single thing in life that I have accomplished.  The strongest woman I have even known … my Mama 😇

I know you’re watching and I know you’re saying “keep dreaming …your wishes will always come true” Love you & miss you everyday. 🩷👩‍🍳
