With everything going on in the world the past few months, it’s impossible not to want to crawl into a hole and disappear. I didn’t post any recipes last week because I didn’t feel it was appropriate to write about food when the world was on fire. So, while I didn’t post anything, I did… Continue reading Cherry Apricot Cake

Blueberry Lemon Upside-down Cake
So, we’re going on week three of “safer at home”. How are you doing? Have you figured out what it is that keeps you sane or have you found a show that you’re binging? If so, please let me know. I would love a new show to watch. Hubs and I have finally figured out… Continue reading Blueberry Lemon Upside-down Cake
Chocolate Caramel Pretzel Bites
Last week I gave you an appetizer to serve for your Super Bowl party. And as much as I love a good app, nothing trumps a good dessert! Preferably something made with chocolate. But plain old chocolate isn’t special enough for a party. No, you need something with a little more pizazz. But no matter… Continue reading Chocolate Caramel Pretzel Bites
Hoosier Pie
And pie month continues. During the holidays there are two things that often grace tables all over: cookies and pies. While Pumpkin and Apple are the common choices, there are so many alternatives. Chocolate, lemon, cranberry… the list goes on and on. So, in honor of that long list, I’ve decided to whip up a… Continue reading Hoosier Pie
Maple Pie
Pie month continues, and now we’re into December. That means Christmas and Hanukkah are right around the corner and so are days and days of cookies, cakes and plenty of pie. I love a good piece of cake or a delicious chocolate cookie, but nothing beats a stunning pie. Although apple and pumpkin are popular… Continue reading Maple Pie
Apple Cranberry Pie
I mentioned last week how we’ve hit the holiday season, and it’s suddenly all about turkey and stuffing. While I love turkey and stuffing it’s not my favorite thing about the holidays. My favorite thing about the holidays are the desserts. Don’t get me wrong, I love turkey and stuffing, but dessert, dessert is wear… Continue reading Apple Cranberry Pie
Apple Fig Tart
Now that we’re into November, it’s time to switch things up. It’s time to put away the Halloween candy and spooky decor and pull out the festive lights and holiday cheer. That’s right it’s time for Thanksgiving prep. If you’re anything like me, you’ve already got your guest list and you’re starting to prep your… Continue reading Apple Fig Tart
Chocolate Quinoa Cake
I love chocolate. I’ll eat it in bar form, as a brownie, ice cream or cake. I’d eat it all day if I could. While I usually make desserts with apples and fall fruits during the autumn months, chocolate always gets top priority. So, when I discovered this luscious gluten-free chocolate cake from Paula Shoyer,… Continue reading Chocolate Quinoa Cake
Rhubarb Cake with Creme Anglaise
I’m a huge fan of desserts! It doesn’t matter if they’re chocolate, vanilla or fruit. I don’t care if they’re cookies, bars or cakes. If there’s a sweet thing on a table I’ll absolutely indulge. While I’ll never turn down chocolate, during the spring and summer I tend to lean more toward fruit. I don’t… Continue reading Rhubarb Cake with Creme Anglaise
Strawberry Rhubarb Cornmeal Upside Down Cake
Strawberries are back in season. Everywhere I look I see baskets overflowing with big, luscious red berries. It’s one of my favorite things about spring. That and bright, colorful garden blooms. With those colors everywhere only one holiday can be right around the corner: Easter. With Easter comes rabbits, chicks, chocolate, and lots and lots… Continue reading Strawberry Rhubarb Cornmeal Upside Down Cake
Lemon-filled Coconut Cupcakes
I own a lot of cookbooks. I have several from Ina Garten, a couple from Dorie Greenspan, a few from Carla Snyder along with several cocktail books. I use them all frequently but my favorite books are the ones that have several dessert recipes. See, I have a huge sweet tooth, so anything that includes… Continue reading Lemon-filled Coconut Cupcakes
