Open Faced Peach Mango Cobbler w/Crystallized GingerPeaches and mangoes are wonderful and bright with natural, juicy sweetness, unmatched by many. This cobbler is a little more figure friendly in that there is only one crust as opposed to the traditional two. Ginger makes a notable appearance in this recipe for a natural spiciness and the luxury of being one of the super spices and… |

Pumpkin Cupcakes with Orange Spiced Cream Cheese FrostingFor a Thanksgiving celebration at my daughter's school I made these pumpkin cupcakes. While they are definitely not low in sugar or fat, they are delicious and easy to make. I made the frosting on my own, experimenting with flavors and finally decided upon cream cheese frosting with orange zest and a bit of pureed pumpkin. YUM! |

Pumpkin Cookies with IcingI 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… |

This version is soft, chewy and more cake-like than what you will typically see. The egg wash topping is a truly lost art. For a lot of people this cookie will immediately transport you… |

Aunt Betty's Chocolate Chip Cookie BarsTo be honest with you, my aunt’s recipe was chocolate chip cookies, not bars, but I decided to make them into bars one evening when I wanted something sweet and did not want to bake endless pans of cookies (her recipe makes about 70 cookies). I used to make these cookies all the time when I was a teenager and I have not made her… |
