Bailey's Irish Cream Brownies

Bailey's Irish Cream Brownies by Nancy Miyasaki

I love Bailey's, and these brownies are infused with irish cream flavor in both the batter nand the frosting. I found these irresistable, and so did our kids. They're a perfect treat for St. Patrick's Day or whenever!

St. Patrick's Day Pistachio Bundt Cake

St. Patrick's Day Pistachio Bundt Cake by Nancy Miyasaki

I made this cake in advance of St. Patick's Day to test if it would be worthy of that occassion. I was a little bit skeptical given the packaged ingredients, but it turned out wonderfully. Our dinner guests and our kids both loved it! When sliced, the inside of the cake has a nice green tint to it which is not visible in the photos…

Key Lime Cheesecake

Key Lime Cheesecake by Nancy Miyasaki

My mom was always trying to find the perfect Key Lime Pie recipe. Though I know it's popular, I wasn't a fan of any that she made. Then she made this Key Lime Cheesecake and I fell in love with it! It's one of those special recipes that I'll be making for years to come. I've only made it with regular limes, but it's probably even…

Easy Pumpkin Cheesecake

Easy Pumpkin Cheesecake by Nancy Miyasaki

This is an easy pumpkin cheesecake. Try it, or my pumpkin cheesecake with gingersnaps and walnuts recipe, as a nice alternative to regular pumpkin pie. Neither will kill your craving for pumpkin pie this holiday season, but they might create a new craving for you! This is adapted from a Paula Deen recipe. Thanks Paula!

This was delicious and easy because I prepared it early in the day and refrigerated it. Then I moved it from the refrigerator to the oven to make a nice warm dessert for my guests!

Homemade Coffee Ice Cream by Nancy Miyasaki

I adapted this recipe by one from Emeril Lagasse. I served it with a molten chocolate cake one day. We had leftovers the next day with shaved dark chocolate on top. No matter how you eat this ice cream, it is delicious!

Pumpkin Cheesecake with Gingersnaps and Walnuts by John Spottiswood

We were treated to this wonderful cheesecake when visiting our good friends in Pasadena. It was beautiful and truly delicious. Marci adapted it from a recipe in Bon Appetit back in 2003. This makes a wonderful dessert for after a Holiday party.

Neiman Marcus Chocolate Chip Cookie

Neiman Marcus Chocolate Chip Cookie by Nancy Miyasaki

I have a number of great chocolate chip cookie recipes. This is probably my kids' favorite. I'm not sure it's truly the original, but if it's not I can't imagine the original is much better! I love the way I can sneak the oatmeal in by grinding it to a powder and my kids don't even notice it! It may not make them health food, but…

Pumpkin White Chocolate Macadamia Bars

Pumpkin White Chocolate Macadamia Bars by Nancy Miyasaki

These were a huge hit at my October book club! You've never tasted anything quite like them...but you need to. These will make a beautiful display for Thanksgiving or Christmas. Try making them with the Pumpkin Cookies with Icing that I posted. They make a beautiful combination (see photo together). But if you just have time to…

Pumpkin Cookies with Icing

Pumpkin Cookies with Icing by Nancy Miyasaki

I served these at my October book club along with the Pumpkin Macadamia Bars. They were good, and the icing makes them attractive, but the Pumpkin Macadamia Bars were the bigger hit. That said, they make an attractive combination and it's fun to try one of each. So if you are looking for a nice combination of sweets to put out on…
