Anytime is a great time to enjoy a biscotti. Even so, I’ve put together a collection of 12 Christmas Biscotti recipes that has at least one flavour for every personal taste. These make great gift ideas too!
ANOTHER CHRISTMAS SERIES
Just a short while ago, I published a biscotti series to the blog. The series was called Lord Byron’s 12 Biscotti...
These beautiful Stained Glass Ornament Cookies are made with an easy rolled cookie dough, some glistening sanding sugar, and your favourite flavour of crushed Jolly Ranchers candy.
Last Christmas, I shared my Christmas Tree Ornament Cookie recipe with you. Even though those cookie cutters weren’t expensive, I was determined to get a second use out of them. Stained Glass Ornament Cookies had...
Many people forget to include easy-to-access storage space in their bathroom design, and out of necessity, bathroom shelves are added as an afterthought. You might have space inside the vanity and the medicine cabinet, but where do you put small things you need right away, such as cosmetics, toiletries, and razors, not to mention decorative items that personalize your...
the best soil for lemon tree
There are lots of benefits to derive from the best soil for the lemon trees: fragrant flowers, ornamental value, and tasty fruits that bring variety to the kitchen. Surprisingly, they are easy to care for and they can be grown in many regions of the world.
To grow lemon trees outside throughout the year you...
Chocolate Chip Cookies When I decided that I was going to bake these cookies, my initial thought was to hold off on publishing the recipe until Christmas. For me, graham crumbs conjure up images of Christmas. I guess that’s when my mom would use graham crumbs the most.
Well, she did make a no-bake cheesecake almost every Sunday for dessert. That had...
I’m all about pasta salads. I can eat pasta salad every day. There’s just a few caveats. First and foremost, they have to be delicious. Texture is an absolute must. And, they have to be easy to make, inexpensive, and they must be still just as tasty the next day!
The best thing about past salads is that they can...

This includes fleas, mites, lice, ants, millipedes, earwigs, cockroaches, silverfish, bed bugs, crickets, cockroaches, centipedes, pill bugs, sow bugs, most beetles, fungus gnat larvae, and some grubs. While it doesn’t outright kill them, many snails and slugs do not like to crawl over DE (and it slows them down), so it can be used as a protective barrier or...
It seems that I cannot get enough of jalapenos lately. I’ve been experimenting with them a lot. If you’re a Lord Byron’s Kitchen fan, you might have noticed that I have been posting jalapeno inspired recipes lately. I swear, I’m almost over it!
What happens to me quite often. I will find a new ingredient and I’ll run with it...
I have spent most of my life avoiding guacamole as much as possible. Prior to me preparing dishes on my own, every guacamole I had found was loaded with cilantro. I hate cilantro. I’m one of those people who will argue that cilantro tastes like soap. Now, I’m not sure if you’ve ever had a mouthful of soap, but...
My dad is a master gardener! Okay… maybe not master, but he is to me ( I can’t even keep potted herbs alive… but I’m working on it). As long as I can remember, my dad’s garden has produced a beautiful bounty of fresh vegetables every summer.
Unfortunately, there are some nasty bugs that attempt to completely derail all of...
alcoholic drink is Beer
Beer is one of the oldest and most widely consumed alcoholic drinks in the world, and the third most popular drink overall after water and tea.
Origin of Beer
Though there is some early evidence of beer, the first solid proof of beer production comes from the period of the Sumerians, around 4000 years BC. Sumerians even had a goddess...
There are many different onion varieties and they all come in different sizes and colors. So whether you plant to plant red onions, yellow onions, or Spanish onions, the directions are all the same. And, don't forget that you can also pull onions while they're young and enjoy some fresh green onions!
Onion transplants can be purchased from your local nursery,...
Making compost is one of those things that’s an art and a science. But believe me, it’s really not that difficult especially once you’ve decided what type of composter you are going to use. Even if you don’t follow the strict layering and greens to browns ratios (which I don’t), you can still get perfectly good compost.
Making Compost: Quicker and Easier
Here are some...
the benefit of matcha tea
Would you like to have a hot cup of Tea?… doesn’t sound wonderful? I am very grateful if someone asks me so. Personally, tea is an emotional drink. If I am in good mood, I will have tea with Cinnamon and Milk. If I am having a cold or flu, I will prefer black Tea...
