I [...]

For some of you, summer is closing up shop. The flip flops are being packed away and sweaters are being aired out. I’m jealous. It’s still a million degrees here and I look forward to cooler temperatures and the leaves changing colors. That doesn’t happen here in South Florida.  For me, September is the beginning of fall.

In honor of the Kentucky Derby, my friend Doug made a Thoroughbred Pie that was divine. Also known as Derby Pie, this decadent dessert is a cross between a pecan pie and a chocolate chip cookie. How can that be bad? This recipe calls for bourbon which added a nice heat to the insanely sweet pie. According to [...]

As my friends,  I am asking you to stay away from artifical sugars and stick to the real stuff. I read so many horror stories about people with health problems because of it. Even when I started dating my husband, he begged me to quit my daily Diet Cokes and NutraSweet in my coffee. I [...]

MMMmmm cobbler. How do I love thee. This is not your traditional recipe, it’s more of a spoon-bread with a burst of moutwatering fruit. The edges have a lovely crisp bite and the inside is soft and not too sweet. It’s just prefect. This dessert is too easy to make and requires ingredients that are readily available [...]
