With roasted pineapple and apple pie I accidentally created another delicious pie recipe from using what I had on hand. It was a bit of an experiment on pairing apple and pineapple together. I figured that apple often accompanies most fruit and berries well and accents not overpowers. Also they both have the word ‘apple’ in them. So there’s that.
In my opinion these make for a rather perfect chocolate sugar cookie. Also if you hate waiting for your cookies – like me -they do not have to be chilled.
These rum glazed, delightfully spicy hermit bar cookies are unlike anything else! Somehow an amazing cross between a cookie, gingerbread, and biscotti.
Homemade lemon curd. This recipe came about when we happily found ourselves with a double bag of lemons and half a dozen yolks leftover from a previous baking project. I wanted a curd that used up my excess yolks and not whole eggs. The deliciousness that was born from this was amazing!
Maple Pecan baked brie has been a go to appetizer since the first time I made it. It’s wonderful, not to mention wonderfully easy. Even back when the idea of making an appetizer would throw me into a cold sweat, this maple pecan brie stepped up to save the day time and again.
I like to have fun with all sorts of cookie houses. I have long since moved on from only classical gingerbread houses to other combinations. And today’s winning combination is chocolate and peanut butter!
We call this orange bread. And it’s delicious! It’s like a pound cake, with the most wonderfully dense centre and incredible crust. Any citrus -buttermilk combo will work, but I am particularly partial to orange. Which I think says a lot about this particular loaf, because I am almost never partial to orange.
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.
