Cheesecake being my weakness, this is my favorite holiday desert. Pumpkin pie, cheesecake and gingersnaps all in one bite! The hardest part is waiting four hours for it to sit in the refrigerator. Enjoy! 25 Ginger Snaps, finely crushed (about 1 1/2 C.) 1/2 C. finely chopped pecans 1/4 C. (1/2 stick) butter, melted 4 …

Fall has begun and I couldn’t wait to make these donuts again! I like to think of them as a little healthier, since they are baked not fried. They are warm and spicy, and great with a cup of coffee on a cool morning or afternoon. Enjoy! 1 3/4 C. flour 1 1/2 tsp. baking …

Cobbler is a perfect way to end a summertime meal. Another delicious recipe I love from Tyler Florence. Cooked and served in a cast iron pan adds your down-home flair. This peach cobbler is not on the sweet side, though you could add extra sugar if you would like. Whipped topping, vanilla ice cream and …

These chewy oatmeal cookies are loaded with coconut, chocolate chips and pecans. Even though the recipe says it yields just a dozen cookies I always seems to come out with more. When you don’t need a lot of cookies sitting around calling your name this will make just the right amount. Enjoy! 1/4 C. butter, …

Coffee cake is good anytime of day especially with a hot cup of coffee. This one gets its moistness from blueberries and cream cheese, and I find it best eaten warm. If you don’t have fresh blueberries but have frozen, there is no need to thaw them before adding to the batter. Enjoy! 1/4 C. …

When I first tried this recipe it called for alot of sugar, and I think it took away from the fact that you where eating a “fresh” fruit salad. I subtracted many times the amount of sugar and water called for until I found what I liked, so feel free to add more if this …

This is a great dessert for two to end a special meal with. It is rich and decadent, but simple to prepare. If you do not have a vanilla bean you can substitute vanilla extract. It depends on your taste and quality of your extract, but usually 1-2 teaspoons can be used in place of …
