So try not to gasp out loud, but I do not really care for the famed Italian plum tart. I have tried several recipes from reputable and trusted sources. I really tried. Promise. But they often tasted either plain or soggy. I fully accept that I may be the problem. But it is a problem that brought me to this Italian plum and almond loaf, so I can’t be too hard on myself!

This chocolate trifle recipe was given to me verbally by a friend years ago. Enough time has passed that I can’t actually recall if the way I make it now was the original directions or how I’ve adapted it over the years. Either way it is a yummy dessert with layers of brownie, chocolate mousse and whipped cream with Skor bar through out. This is one easy dessert. There are a couple steps, but not a lot of baking or skill required.

I live with a lemonade enthusiast. She’s little, but she’s mighty. When it’s too warm for the hot chocolate, bring on the lemonade! There used to be a local fast food joint that would have cheap, frozen lemonade in the summer months that was wildly popular with said youngest child. Sadly they have not offered it for some time now. So I figured I better learn to make some myself.

Not only is this delicious pizza sauce that comes together in far less time than it takes the dough to rise, it uses up any leftover canned diced tomatoes I often have in the fridge. Since not all recipes call for an entire 28 ounces of diced tomatoes, I often have a cup or so left in the fridge. Which makes this sauce even more of a breeze.

This recipe is not just memorable, but both easy and simple. Not to mention delicious. I suspect it is the addition of rice flour and not just the use of all purpose flour that helps make for the delicate crumb and consistency.

This delightful apple crisp has the perfect fruit to topping ratio for my liking. Meaning it is not too heavy handed or soupy on the fruit base, and every bite gets fair billing of topping and fruit. And the topping is delightfully crunchy thanks to the rolled oats and chopped pecans. And crisped up by the butter and brown sugar.

A simple sunflower topped cake was an easy choice for a fall cake. Sunflower because it’s our Youngest’s current favourite flower and because it is incredibly easy and forgiving to pipe.

Cranberry cinnamon buns are a fantastic way to use up that leftover cranberry sauce. They are delicious with that sweet and tart flavour and just a hint of ginger from the sauce. And nothing like making something delicious, instead of leftovers going to waste!
