Don’t run away from the idea of the tart apple in the title up there. Even my husband – a thoroughly “no fruit shall touch my meats” purist (giggle) really loved this salsa. And this sandwich. It was the epitome of fresh and summery…exactly what you need after a day in the near 100 […]
Lemon Meringue Cheesecake…with fresh raspberries. Swoooooon. It would appear that I cannot leave cheesecake alone. Poor, sweet, delicious cheesecake. You never stood a chance. A couple of weeks ago I found myself craving Lemon Meringue Pie. One of my first experiences baking with my blog was to make the freeform lemon tartlets from the Daring […]
Last week Seven and I were given permission to steal as many sour cherries as we could pick…so we took our sand buckets, picked for about half an hour, and came home with a few pounds before figuring out what to do with them! I’ve never really been a cherry person, BUT – I like […]

Told you I’d be back. You doubted it, I know. But here I am…and I am the bearer of good things. First up? These brownies. Caramel Coconut Brownies. And they are super easy. So easy, in fact, I hesitate to even post them, because the die hard From Scratchers will disapprove, and those of you […]
The May 2010 Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Cat of Little Miss Cupcake. Cat challenged everyone to make a piece montée, or croquembouche, based on recipes from Peter Kump’s Baking School in Manhattan and Nick Malgieri. I’ll be honest, I’ve been a BAD Daring Baker. It’s been too many months since I have participated. […]

Hello everyone! Hope you’ve had a great weekend. I have! We’ve been golfing, and grilling, having movie night…and BAKING! In fact, I’ve been a baking fool for 3 full days. Today alone, thanks in part to a French Macaron Class here at my home, over 150 macarons have been baked and filled! (That’s a […]
I’ve had so many cakes as of late I can’t even put them all in one post! But, I figured a few might be good – at least a good start! Here are 6 until I can get the rest cropped and uploaded. Let’s see…the first cake was an […]

On Saturday, I had my first Couple’s Pasta Course. It was a blast! We had dough spread from one end of the house to the other – and boy did it smell great. It helped to have such enthusiastic students as well – they weren’t afraid of anything! I love students like that! We made […]
