I love breakfast. It’s the most important meal of the day… or so they say. But it’s still not my favorite meal. No, my favorite meal, or maybe course is a better term, has got to be dessert! I love a rich, sweet dessert. Doesn’t matter if it’s fruit or chocolate. As long as it’s… Continue reading Lemon-lime Pudding Cake

Chocolate Orange Brownie Cookies
There are two things I can never get enough of: chocolate and fruit. I love them apart but I love them even more when they’re together. While my favorite chocolate and fruit combinations are chocolate covered strawberries and cherries, I was never a fan of the orange or lemon peels dipped in chocolate. I just… Continue reading Chocolate Orange Brownie Cookies
Lemon Lavender Tart
With Easter on Sunday, now’s the time for festive tables and bright colored desserts. Sure, chocolate is always a winner, but with those Easter baskets full of chocolate bunnies and eggs, a fruity dessert seems like the perfect choice to don your table. While strawberries are starting to appear at local farmers markets, Meyer lemons… Continue reading Lemon Lavender Tart
Coconut Macaroon Brownies
Saturday is the first night of Passover. As a Jew, Passover is always one of the hardest holidays to celebrate. A lot of people think it’s Yom Kippur because of the day of fasting. But not eating for 24 hours is pretty easy in comparison with regulating what you can and can’t eat during the… Continue reading Coconut Macaroon Brownies
Boston Cream Pie
In case you didn’t hear, today is St. Patrick’s Day and you’re probably seeing a ton of Instagram and blog posts for corned beef and cabbage and green cocktails. (Yes, I did one too.) Well, I couldn’t come up with another corned beef recipe. I mean, how many different ways can you prepare corned beef?… Continue reading Boston Cream Pie
Blood Orange Olive Oil Cake
I love citrus season! It’s that great time of year, smack dab in the dead of winter, when all the bright, sweet citrus bombard farmers markets everywhere. It’s when you are no longer limited to Eureka lemons or Navel oranges. Instead you can grab some Meyer lemons or Cara Cara oranges. There are also Satsuma… Continue reading Blood Orange Olive Oil Cake
Apple Strudel
From Thanksgiving to New Years, there’s really only one thing I’m thinking about: dessert. Starting with turkey day and all the way through new years there’s always decadent desserts. There are pies and cakes and so many cookies and cookie swaps… it’s easy to see why people tend to gain five to 10 pounds over… Continue reading Apple Strudel
Browned Butter Brookies
It’s cookie season! Normally this time of year I start making tons and tons of cookies. See, by this time, I’d already have had my annual Christmas party with tons of desserts and cocktails. But as you all know, this year, things are a little different. This year there was no party and with the… Continue reading Browned Butter Brookies
Pumpkin Maple Trifle
Every year my family tries to come up with something new and exciting for Thanksgiving. I mean, how many times can you have the same pumpkin pie and cranberry sauce? Okay, I know there are traditions and family recipes that are used year in and year out. But we don’t do that in my family.… Continue reading Pumpkin Maple Trifle
Cherry Apricot Cake
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
