What does this have to do with mini doughnuts?  Well, it doesn’t.  I just started an Instagram account, it got me thinking about the topic and …

Strawberry Hand Pies Recipe (Makes 9 hand pies) Note:  This recipe requires 1 hour of chilling time. Ingredients for the …

It was my dad’s birthday last week and I wanted to make something for him to celebrate the occasion.  He’s a breakfast kinda guy, especially breakfast baked goodies.  He’s also a huge fan of anything almond-y.  Do you remember my Almond Biscotti?  I made those with him in mind.  I’ve combined the best of both worlds and made him this sweet almond pastry. Sweet Almond Pastry Recipe (About 6 servings) Ingredients: 2 large eggs, divided per the directions 1 tablespoon water 6 ounces of almond paste (I used Solo.) 3 tablespoons white sugar 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 puff pastry sheet, …
