In honor of the Pillsbury Bake-Off contest later this month (watch for lots of fun info coming up!), I thought I would post some of the contest entries throughout the month. This was my own entry from Bake-Off # 34, and my daughter Kara wanted to make it for her dinner tonight, so here is the recipe for […]

Dancing with the Stars
Are you a fan of “Dancing with the Stars?” The new cast was announced this week, which reminded me that I have two dancer cookie cutters, found at a kitchen store in Sonoma last summer. I still haven’t decided if I will watch this season, but I love the cookie cutters! Here’s the full list […]
Hit by the "Saskatchewan Screamer"
No, it’s not the name of a Canadian rock band, it’s the snow system that “screams along” from our neighbors up North and leaves us with this beautiful, peaceful snow, which happened this past weekend, even though it is now starting to melt. But we finally got some snow! Oh, come on, you know it’s beautiful, even if it […]
President’s Day

Happy Anniversary to The Culinary Cellar!
Today marks the two-year anniversary of starting my blog! What an adventure it has been so far. My first blog was all about one of my oldest and cherished cookbooks, my grandmother’s copy of “The Boston Cooking School Cook Book” from Fanny Merritt Farmer, and since then, I have written over 800 blogs. I remember wondering who in […]
