Peanut Butter Oreo Fudge Creams Parfaits

Sure it’s a mouthful, yes I’m a little late to the Oreo Birthday Party, but like they say… better late than never. I just didn’t feel right letting this particular birthday go by unnoticed and unmentioned. I probably should have presented you with a recipe made with the original version of the Oreo cookie. Instead, [...]

Kumquat Flaugnarde

I have to admit, initially I was referring to this dessert as Kumquat Clafoutis not realizing the meaning of “clafoutis” is batter with cherries. All this time (not knowing the definition) I thought it was interchangeable regardless of the fruit used to make it. —So, glad I decided to do a little background research! Sharing [...]

Honey Bourbon Pumpkin Panna Cotta with Peach-Apricot Gelee

Last week while I was busy coding away at work I got a text from my husband saying I had received a small box. I usually ask him to open it for me because, aside from having the worst memory, if I know there is a present waiting for me somewhere I can’t stand not [...]

Just before we went on vacation, we had our nephew and his children, who happened to be visiting from Australia, join us for an impromptu dinner. Sadly our niece wasn’t able to visit this time, but for a very good reason. She’s only a couple of months from giving birth to their third baby, and [...]

I know we are still a few weeks away from Valentine’s Day… and, if you, or your significant other are football fans you are probably more concerned about getting your Super Bowl menu planned out than you are about figuring out what to serve for Valentine’s day. Sharing is cool! Tweet
