All About "baking" and "desserts"
Indian Pudding
Though this classic New England dessert has a somewhat lackluster appearance, once you taste its rich, comforting flavor, and extraordinarily creamy texture, all will be forgiven. Not unlike pumpkin pie, but without a crust, this cinnamon-spiced pudding bakes slowly, warming your kitchen and filling your home with the wonderful fragrance of sugar and spice and everything nice.
Read MoreSugar Cookies for Aunt Lucinda
There's nothing that matches the simple joy of a perfect sugar cookie. These are buttery and soft, just the way kids love them.
Read MoreHoney Cake
This sweet cake is unbelievably moist thanks to the honey sauce topping that it soaks up.
Read MoreOatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
Who doesn't have a favorite cookie? I certainly do, and I recently asked my children what their favorites are. I was surprised that I didn't hear the ever-popular "chocolate chip" from each of them. Instead, the answers were as individual as they are. They like everything from my grandmother's Confetti Drops to Macadamia Nut. This recipe is my personal favorite and the kids certainly don't turn their noses up at it.
Read MoreStrawberry Pie
I like to end summer get-together's with favorites like brownies and pie. This easy receipe for strawberry pie would definitely fill the bill.
Read MoreNanaimo Bars
These are only known to my family as Grandma's Chocolate Squares. My paternal grandmother made these and my mother took to making them for Christmas. I don't recall a Christmas without them. However, when my older brother discovered that they weren't Grandma's creation, but instead a winning recipe from Nanaimo, B.C., well, we may have been disillusioned, but we weren't all too sad. After all, we still have the recipe!
These are layered and luscious -- so rich that I only make one pan -- although, you know the kids would like a pan each.
Chocolate Dump Cake
My husband is just as much a coffee lover as I am. Since we're also chocolate lovers and nothing goes better with coffee than chocolate, I like whipping up this super easy cake -- I don't have time for more right now!
Read MoreChocolate Mousse Torte
I've written before about menu names and how they can be exagerrated and sometimes misleading, but many times just plain funny. I guess I tend to do the same, labeling plain old chicken quesadillas as Two-Cheese Chicken Quesadillas, or calling my favorite flourless chocolate cake Chocolate Mousse Torte. I've even been known to call foods by fun names for the kids to get them to eat them. Hey, it works.
Read MorePumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins
I am lucky enough to live in a climate that experiences, in their fullest, each season the world has to offer. Of all four, fall is my favorite. The intense aromas and colors are unmatched in any other season. The sky is never bluer and the shadows seem to take on a life all their own in autumn.
The foods of this time of year also tend to be my favorites. Apples abound, pumpkins are ripe and ovens are lit in expectation of comforting dishes.
