Why Some Desserts Stay with You Forever ❤️

Published 7 days ago • 1 min read

Hey friends❣️

Here's to the desserts we keep thinking about long after the plate's empty!

​Grilled Ricotta Pound Cake​

What makes a dessert memorable? It could be as simple as smoky grill marks on a perfect slice of pound cake that turns a dessert plate into an experience.

It might be an unexpected texture, color (hello rainbow fruit popsicles!) or presentation. It could also be a fresh new idea nobody at the table's had before, or maybe there's an emotional or nostalgic connection.

It's those little details nobody expects that makes a dessert memorable.
​

​Peanut Butter Pie​

This one's all about the play of texture and temperature ~ you won't soon forget a cool creamy pie on a warm night. Try a slice straight from the freezer!

​Hot Fudge Cake​

Hot fudge drizzled ~ no lavished ~ over the best chocolate cake ~ now that's memorable!!

​Blueberry Cornbread Biscuit Cobbler​

This is blueberry cobbler like you've never had it before, topped with buttery sweet cornbread biscuits!

​Cool Chocolate Pot de Creme​

No mystery here, it's what chocolate memories are made of.

​Sicilian Lemon Cream​

It's the tart lemon, it's the silky mouthfeel, it's the soft chill, and the clink-clink of your spoon as you go back for every last little streak.

​Rhubarb Shortcake​

Rhubarb desserts are memorable for so many reasons ~ that flavor, that color, and their fleeting availability. Don't miss out!

​Strawberry Galette​

Proof that show-stoppers don't need to be complicated!

This is a terrific recipe. I always thought butterscotch pudding would be terribly complicated, but your instructions are very clear. It came out perfect the first time.

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!

homemade horchata

Hey friends❣️ I lived 30 years in Los Angeles, and have family scattered all over Arizona, so I've had lots of amazing authentic Mexican food ~ but somehow I never crossed paths with horchata, until now! How to Make Horchata It's thick, rich, and creamy with a toasted almond flavor I can't get enough of. It's an authentic taste of Mexico and fun to serve at barbecues as an alternative to alcohol or sugary sodas. Just make up a big pitcher and provide plenty of ice! This is a good weekend to...

sheet pan burgers

Hey friends❣️ Not all of us have an outdoor grill. I have a gas grill but it hasn't gotten hooked up at our new house, so I'll be moving the burgers inside this year. I'll pull out my sheet pan and throw open the kitchen windows! Sheet Pan Smashburgers Honestly I don't mind, these smashburgers are always a hit (it's probably my special sauce!) My favorite burgers have never been the same-old same-old... Salmon Burgers with dill sauce (or 30-second tartar sauce) make a nice change from beef....
