Here's a delightful tart recipe for you to make for a fancy dessert or just for eating when the mood hits you. It’s been adapted from Yossy Areffi - Apt. 28 Baking Co. Remember those almond croissants (yes from Paris) I wrote about earlier, well in addition to almonds on top of the croissant, the [...]
This is one of those recipes you must keep in your arsenal of "emergency go-to" dishes. Oh please don't tell me you don't have an emergency list of go-to dishes. You know the ones when someone is dropping by on short notice or you are just too tired to make a fancy dessert. This tart [...]
Okay here we are. The ladies bought home the gold - thank you very much! Now it's the guys turn. To get ready for the big game tomorrow, I made some carrot cake mini cupcakes. So easy, so tasty! I liked both the recipe and the cream cheese frosting recipe. I have a go to [...]
Nope, she’s definitely not going to like this one. My wife is a very private person. So, open displays of affection – such as my dedicating this simple chocolate cake to her, are not her style (see picture below). Now having come from a family of huggers that openly display affection through hugs – it’s [...]
But delicious cake! What a week it's been. Between my "What's for Dinner" day and evening classes and my personal engagements, there was very little time to do a blog last week. So, here's what I did work on in my spare time. One of my loyal customers wanted 2 birthday cakes to celebrate a [...]

Taken much too young. But that is life my friends and we must persevere and move forward. So I'm [...]
We were all excited yesterday – going to go apple picking! It really is one of my favorite memories of cool fall Saturdays with the kids and their friends. I always came home with a couple of bags of apples – the crispness of apples just off the tree, the sweet tartiness of that first [...]
I have a friend who loves lemon in all desserts. Every time I do an engagement at his place, he has to have the taste of lemons in his dessert. I have this dessert – I think the secret to the extra lemony taste is the lemon zest in the crust. The crust itself is [...]
Yes… you can make these delicious cookies using the BKM – again, I cannot emphasize enough – 1 container to clean up convenience. I made two sizes – only because I had a helper and one ice cream scoop, so I used the spoon method. This was a Sunday night experiment and the more familiar [...]
Recently, my morning routine has evolved into stopping off at the local coffee shop to pick up my coffee before going to see my dad. I normally don't have cravings for sweet things - no it's true, for me if you are going to have a treat, make it spicy. But this morning I couldn't help [...]
