Dark Chocolate Bread Pudding If comfort food involves bread and/or chocolate for you, this could be your new favorite dessert. I made this for years, and then forgot all about it, until I had some chocolate croissants that needed to go away. It’s now front of mind again! Dark Chocolate Bread Pudding 1/4 c unsalted...

I was visiting our daughter, son in law and new grandson and they had two big bags of freshly picked apples. I had to make something with them, so I found a tasty Apple Crisp recipe from FoodNetwork.com and tweaked it just a bit for the vegan family I was feeding. The hardest part is... Continue Reading →
We have a terrific vegan restaurant in town that served Blackberry Cinnamon Rolls for dessert earlier this year, then promptly changed the menu and pulled this little treasure out of the rotation after I was hooked on them! So I had to go looking for a suitable homemade version, this one isn't vegan but it... Continue Reading →

I needed to bake a cake for a house full of people and had a taste for lemons, so I put this together and it worked well! I buy jarred lemon curd (Dickinson's) but you can make it yourself. This cake is good the first day, but even better when the lemon curd has had... Continue Reading →
I wanted to take something deeply chocolate to a friend's house the other night, and he needs his food to be gluten-free, so it was a good excuse to finally make this cake. I saw it in Bon Appetit magazine a couple of years ago and tucked it away, I really like the idea of... Continue Reading →
