One minute I was on top of the world… giddy with excitement over a new and sure-to-be-successful recipe. Next thing I knew, the tide was rising. My baby bread puddings were capsizing. Drowning in the very sinful batter of cream and sugar and Frangelico and vanilla that made it so special to begin with. For […]

I couldn’t not sneak a bit of coconut into this cherry almond crisp. I think I was channeling one of my all-time favorite holiday bars into this summery dessert… you know the one, the Cherry Chew Bars… you basically meld cherries with coconut and nuts and sugary goo, and you’re a happy camper.

Who doesn’t like fresh strawberries? Really- if you can find that person, bring him or her to me and I’ll get to the bottom of whatever scarring childhood incident caused the aversion.

Holy Moses. Imagine a pecan pie, but in tart form, and without the pecans but with currents and pine nuts instead. Clear as mud? All you have to know is this: This. Dessert. Rocks. The pastry is flaky, light, and easy to make (i.e.: no rolling required! Just press into your tart pan and you’re […]

Blondies are really just chocolateless brownies, aren’t they? Before you say “why bother” in response to a dessert made without chocolate- because you’re obsessed with it and have a problem- let me tell you that I understand your trepidation. But I think this recipe will expose you to a delectable world outside of the cocoa […]

Some of you might find this disgusting, but for those of you who don’t (my kind of reader), cheers to an over-abundance of frosting. I know your type. You’re the one that angles for the corner piece of a big square birthday cake when it’s being sliced at a horrible office party, because it’s all […]
