Balsamic Strawberry Shortcake

March 2nd for most people is like any other day of the year. But for me, it is the day I celebrate my birth. My own personal holiday if you will. You guessed it; today I turn the ripe old age of….
Ha! You thought I was going to bake and tell. Well, there is no [...]

Easy Chocolate Turtles

I have to admit I am not a huge fan of chocolate turtles. If I had a choice between turtles or something else, I would almost always pick the other thing. However, I have friends who absolutely love them. So I figure making batch of the chewy goodness would be a win-win situation for everyone. [...]

Chocolate Dipped Sugar Cookies

Would you believe even Culinary Cory doesn’t always have time to cook everything from scratch? Dare I say I occasionally turn to the semi-homemade way to save a little time? Insert screaming and crying here.
The holidays have been pretty busy for me with a ton of things to do and little time to do them. [...]

An Amazing Pumpkin Mousse

When I think of “pumpkin” and “Thanksgiving”, I immediately think of pumpkin pie. I suspect having a slice for breakfast, lunch and dinner for the past three days was a clear indication I got that recipe down. Now it was time to turn to something a little lighter….well, in texture…not in calories.
This pumpkin mousse was [...]

Classic Pumpkin Pie

Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and I believe it’s never too early for a freshly baked pumpkin pie. Earlier today, I was whisking together the ingredients when Brent asked me what I was making. His response of “it’s about time!” was classic because he has been pretty clear that he LOVES pumpkin pie.
I have [...]

Lemon Bars

The other day I was reviewing my calendar when I realized November was just around the corner. Which means I become a baking machine to test new recipe ideas in time for the fast approaching holiday season.
My goal this year is to come up with even more original recipes that not only satisfy the taste [...]

Easy Caramel Apples

When you need to bite down on something to channel the pain, it should be sweet and delicious. My friend Josh recently seriously injured his finger to the point that it required surgery. Brent, our friend James and I decided to assemble a care package that consisted of a fresh batch of Classic Chocolate Chip [...]

Toasted Pumpkin Bread Pudding

Have you ever gotten a recipe idea stuck in your head to where you couldn’t let it escape until your creative destiny was fulfilled? No? Well, me either. Oh, who am I fooling? I was brainstorming recipe ideas for the second loaf of Nature’s Pride I received from Foodbuzz. The thought of creamy pumpkin bread [...]

Classic Lattice Apple & Pear Pie

The radiant glow of the moon bounced across the cloud studded sky as I exited the theater Saturday evening. Clearly fall has made its graceful entrance with a crisp chill in the air. This is the time of the year when I crave the warmth of cinnamon and nutmeg. A flip of the ignition and [...]

Sophie Turns One & Mini Chocolate Zucchini Cupcakes

They sure do grow up so fast…don’t they? Soon Sophie will be asking for the car keys and $20 to go to the movies with her friends. Our fluffy ball of fur recently celebrated her first birthday, and I couldn’t help but celebrate with a little touch of whimsy. If you only knew how many [...]
