Culinary Adventures with Camilla

These peanut butter cookies were a family affair when we filmed this for the Culinary Cam YouTube channel. Here's a behind the scenes shot as they heckled me for making Peanut Butter Miso Cookies . Sometimes you just need to go back to the basics, right? And I love that these can be made in about 30 minutes with ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen. Watch the video on my channel...or here...

Happy Sunday. Do you know what that means? It means that the #SundayFunday bloggers are sharing recipes today. It's low stress, just a great group of gals that I am happy to blog alongside. Thanks to Stacy of  Food Lust People Love , Sue of  Palatable Pastime , Rebekah of  Making Miracles , and Wendy of  A Day in the Life on the Farm  for coordinating.   Today I am hosting and I gave the bloggers the prompt of making holiday cheese boards. Cheese boards are simple to put together but have a high wow factor. And they are undeniably one of the easiest appetizers you can assemble. You just need to offer a variety of colors, textures, and tastes. So, for today's #SundayFunday event, I invited the bloggers to join me in sharing recipes or tips for making holiday cheese boards.  I love the surprise details that might be phyllo-wrapped baked cheeses, pickle relishes, homemade crackers, spiced nuts, and more. I told the group that anything you would put o...

Kitchen Yarns: Notes on Life, Love, and Food by Ann Hood* showed up on my recommended reading list for my Kindle. And I fell for it, hook, line, and sinker, finishing it in just one sitting. But, really, Amazon's algorithms are always spot-on, so I'm not surprised that I loved this memoir. On the Page image from amazon.com Let me start with this: I've never read any of Hood's novels. I can't even name one. But I truly enjoyed this memoir and will be looking for more of her books. And, Kitchen Yarns  is one of the best titles. Ever. It's such an image-invoking name. Each of Hood's anecdotes are threads. Memories, conversations, and events that bind together family, friends, and food to create a poignant book. Each yarn explores how the happenings shape her as a person, as a wife, as a mother, and as a writer. The book also includes recipes throughout. I've bookmarked several of them and am on the hunt for other recipes that she men...
