Lemon Almond Biscotti

Today I am meeting my friend Viv. She is visiting from Vancouver and loves my homemade Lemon Almond Biscotti. The kind you get at cafes tend to be very hard and not so good. A good biscotti is firm, but soft when fresh. These cookies can keep well for months in a airtight container. I hope she enjoys them.

Apple Strudel

One of the joys of the fall are locally grown apples. Today I baked a Austrian style apple strudel for Thanksgiving dinner. This dessert is filled with Golden delicious apples, raisins and walnuts, wrapped in thin crispy pastry. It was fun creating this dessert.
