There's nothing terribly original about pouring beer over ice cream; if nothing else, root beer keeps us reminded of that tradition. I've been lazy with my beer and ice cream pairings — who isn't? — and so it wasn't until recently when a guest brought over a bottle of super-sweet Framboise Lambic, a raspberry beer of sorts, that I gave some serious thought to pouring boozy brews over ice cream. So while the dinner guests were mixing their crimson red beer with Prosecco, I fell into a lambic float daydream. Lambic is a Belgian relative of beer, but not exactly a close sibling.

It is made in open vats where things are allowed to go wild. The result is a cloudy beer, only mildly carbonated and with a sour taste. Many lambics are brewed with fruit, bringing in sweetness to balance out the sourdough-like flavor. The most widely available brand of lambic is Lindemans.

“If I'd known this is what you eat at a bridal shower, I would have been attending them for years.” stated the father of the bride at a party that I co-hosted. The women all laughed and assured him that the food he was eating was not like anything they usually nibble on at wedding showers either. We had really gone all out to create an amazing spread of food for the party and were thrilled to hear such compliments especially considering the near disaster that occurred in the kitchen (well in a kitchen, anyway.) The party was being held at my friend's house and we had spent the previous two days getting ready. The day of the event, our preparations were going great, all the cold food was on serving platters and much of the hot food was in chafing dishes. There was one dish, puff pastry pinwheels filled with beef tenderloin and a Madeira mushroom cream sauce, that would be baked after the guests arrived.

This winter I’ve collaborated with Brit+Co on a DIY kit for my tiny gingerbread houses that includes 3d printed cookie cutters! It’s available now, go have a look. These won’t be available after Christmas of 2014 so grab them now if you’re interested.

I made tiny gingerbread houses that are meant to be perched on the edge of a mug of hot chocolate. I had been thinking about those sugar cubes that hook on the rim of a teacup earlier this month, and I was also thinking about 3-D cookies and how they fit together and figured it would be pretty neat to make cookies that hang on the edge of a mug.

I made a few versions to figure out how to make one that wasn’t so top heavy that it would flip off the mug, and how small I could get away with and still fit on both large and small cups. I’ve made a PDF pattern of gingerbread house pieces which you can open or download right here. I used the Gingerbread Snowflake and the Royal Icing recipes from marthastewart.com. DIY Vanilla Extract . . . Works for Me Wednesday. Christmas is less than 3 months away. Honest. I counted it out on my fingers twice just to be sure. I really like making homemade gifts for friends and neighbors at Christmastime...and I like to mix it up a bit and not give only decorated cookies. Last year, I tried vanilla extract.

To make Homemade Vanilla Extract, you're going to need: vanilla beans (I bought mine from Beanilla) ...and vodka. Split the vanilla beans, leaving one end intact. Top with vodka. Store in a cool, dark place for at least 6 weeks before using. This is what it looks like after being tucked away for 2-3 months. Refill with vodka and fresh vanilla beans as needed. {psst....you can find the bottles here...I used the 3.3 ounce.}
