It’s cookie season ! Today I made my mandelbread

It’s cookie season ! Today I made my mandelbread with a twist. I took my go to recipe and combined it with my gingerbread cookie recipe. 10/10 👍🏻

Wet
* 2 x- large eggs
* 2 tsps vanilla
* 1 cup brown sugar, packed
* 1/2 cup neutral oil
* 2 tablespoons molasses
Dry
* 2 1/2 cups flour
* 1 tsp baking powder
* 1/2 tsp baking soda
* 1½ tsp cinnamon
* 1½ tsp ginger
* 1 tsp salt
* ½ tsp allspice
* Pinch of ground nutmeg

Add ins:
* 1 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
* Optional Dunk - 1 cup each dark & white chocolate chips, melted separately (I add in 1/2 tsp coconut oil to each type of chocolate keep it smooth and shiny)

Instructions
1. Mix eggs, vanilla, sugar and oil together. Add in the molasses and mix well. Gradually add flour that has been sifted with all the dry ingredients and the chocolate chips, Form into a large ball and cut the ball in quarters.
2. You will have 4 pieces of dough which you need to form into rectangular logs.
3. Place on baking sheet lined with parchment paper (I use a silicone baking mat) and bake at 350F for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and slice into ½ inch cookies.
4. Place them back on the cookie sheet and bake for another 5 minutes. As soon as they are cooled dip into both your melted chocolates and lay them on a parchment lined baking sheet to harden.

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. 🩷👩‍🍳

So this is 65. It’s a number that I always associated with old people. I guess according to my drivers licence I am old but I’m definitely not ready to feel it. Age is only a number and I’m grateful to be here and to celebrate this birthday with my loved ones. I’m also blessed to have all of you here. Because without you life would not be simply beautiful. Thank you for sticking with me for the last 10 years on this feed. There have definitely been ups and downs in my life and your love and support has been the light in the darkness. For this I thank you from my heart. 🩵

1/2 cup (100g) dark brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
2 extra large eggs, at room temperature

1/2 cup (4 ounces) semisweet or dark chocolate chips or chocolate chunks
Optional - Sprinkles

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line the bottom and sides of an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper leaving some overhanging on the sides so you can lift out the brownies easily.
2. Place butter in a large bowl and heat in your microwave until melted. Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar to the butter while it’s still hot. Whisk well.
3. Add the eggs, vanilla extract and coffee to the butter / sugar mix. Whisk until everything is nicely incorporated.

Let’s make healthy cheese crackers with Livi tod

Let’s make healthy cheese crackers with Livi today !

Recipe
2 cups (8 oz) shredded cheddar cheese 1 cup all purpose flour 4 tbsp unsalted butter, cold
pinch of sea salt  2 tbsp ice water, as needed
Preheat the oven to 350F Add the shredded cheese (we did it first in the food processor) flour, pinch of salt and butter to the processor and pulse it in increments until it forms into a sand-like texture. Add 2 tablespoons of iced cold water to the food processor and pulse just until it starts to form into a dough. Place the dough mixture onto a surface and lightly knead it to come together. Form a disc with the dough, wrap it in plastic, and refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes 
Roll out the dough onto a lightly floured surface ⅛ to ¼ of an inch thick. Use a small cookie cutters and cut out small shapes from the dough.
Gather the scraps, re-roll the dough, and cut out more cracker shapes. Repeat this process until all of the dough is used up. Place the shapes on a parchment paper lined pan 
Bake the crackers at 350 F for 10 minutes or until the edges are slightly brown. The total cook time will depend on the thickness of your crackers. Keep a very close eye on the crackers as they can burn quickly. Let them cool completely before serving.
