I love baking and recently came up with this recipe for oatmeal-raisin cookies. They are really easy to make, and don't hesitate to experiment with the ingredients a bit by adding nuts, cranberries or whatever you like!
Illustrating my recipes has become almost a habit by now, I remember them by illustrating them :)

This delicious red pepper and walnut dip is originally from Aleppo, Syria and is easy to make! Toss all ingredients into a food processor or blender and you're ready to dig in. Eat with bread or crackers or enjoy it with fish, meats or veggies.

Yummy and messy, Russian tea cakes! The class I am teaching, Illustrate your Life, is doing a They Draw and Cook, or They Draw and Travel illustration brief. I am looking forward to seeing their finished illustrations here. I did this one while I was working with my fellow artists in class. I am loving white ink these days.

A deliciously sweet, savory, and crackly granola. Perfect for breakfast or a snack anytime. It also makes your house smell great!

Every year my grandmother would make a "Green Cake". I was not sure what I was eating but it always smelled so amazing, literally mouth watering. Every bite would get better and better, it was so delicious. It took me some years to realizes what the heck I was eating. She told me after all last years that it was what they call a "Pistachio Cake" (not like I knew what a pistachio was, but anyways). Only she could but that much love and care into these cakes. So that's why I wanted to share this amazing recipe of Amelia Callender's Pistachio Cake !

About this time of the year my mom would start making her holiday cookies - and we were glad! This recipe makes 6 dozen bite-size, melt-in-your-mouth cookies.

Kids love this recipe! They love pretending they are eating snowballs. Besides being fun this recipe is super tasty!!!

This is my own recipe.. I tend to just make it by feel but decided to write it down and weigh everything as I go. It is deliciously full of butter and sugar...I am lucky enough to have an apple tree "Elstar" just outside my back door. This is a beautiful apple which is bright red on pale green.
