Is there anything more luxurious than a slow weekend brunch with cinnamon rolls or some other yummy breakfast pastry and a hot cup of coffee? And I really value the delight of a baked good fresh from the oven that smells and tastes so good it entices everyone out of bed to join me. These […]
What’s in your Easter basket? I’ll tell you what’s in mine: treats from Maisie Jane’s! Almond candies are naturally egg-shaped. That makes them traditional for Easter in places like Portugal where amêndoas de Páscoa (Portuguese Easter almonds) are exchanged by practically everyone!

Understandably, people have been curious about why they grow that way. In the Philippines there is even a popular folk legend about it: […]
Looking for a way to liven up broiled meat or fish? I have been! I eat WAY too many stir fries and other sauteéd dishes. I also want to eat more fish but don’t really like it unadorned. Today’s recipe is a delightful combination of almonds, apricot, scallions, lime, and ginger. It’s so easy and […]
