If it Ain't Broke 🩷 Why Fix it??

Hey friends❣️

These days viral recipes are chasing shock value, wild combos, and over-the-top everything.

But glossy plums bubbling up through a golden crust? That’s real drama.

Old Fashioned Plum Cobbler

I bake so often for this site that I rarely indulge in more than a taste or two of any one dessert, but I had two helpings right off the bat, and my husband polished off the rest after dinner. Time to bake up another plum cobbler 🙂

more baking with ricotta

Fresh Plum Frozen Custard ~ I always say homemade ice cream is best when it's a flavor you'll never experience anywhere else.

Dorie Greenspan’s Dimply Plum Cake ~ a Great Island kitchen fan fave, thanks Dorie!

Ricotta Plum Cake ~ the combo of tart tangy plums with creamy ricotta is pretty special.

Cardamom Plum Crumble Bars ~ anybody else starting to think about fall flavors already??

I won a cook-off at my office’s strawberry festival with this recipe and my teenage son says this is the only bbq sauce he wants from now on. Really great recipe.

I love to make delicious food, photograph it, and write about it, but mostly, I just love to EAT. Isn’t that what it’s all about? My recipes are bold and vibrant, but totally approachable ~ and my philosophy? We should all have the tools to feed ourselves well, and the confidence to cut loose a little in the kitchen. Food should be fun!

Forget everything you know about making cheesecake‼️

Hey friends❣️ No kidding, I'm convinced cheesecake is the easiest of all desserts, with such a huge payoff! My technique is absolutely the best, (and I bet you've never tried it.)

Almond is a personal favorite of mind and so many of my most loved dessert recipes (like the pear-almond tart, below) are...
