Bourbon Pecan CakeThis versatile cake has a mild bourbon flavor. It is a popular adult birthday cake in my family. Chocolate lovers can add chocolate chips to the topping. Frosting lovers can make a layer cake to fill and frost. Cream cheese or buttercream made with bourbon would be nice. Tip: Make sure that the Bourbon you use is not harsh. For a… |

Chocolate Chip Meringue BarsA different twist on a chocolate chip bar. The egg yolks are used in the dough, and the whites are beaten with brown sugar to make a meringue topping for the bars. Made by his mother, these bars were a childhood favorite of my husband. It was a race to the mailbox when a shoebox full of these bars would be sent to him at… |

Pumpkin Bread Pudding with Bourbon SauceThe photo does not do justice to one of the best desserts I have made. The Pumpkin Bread Pudding melts in your mouth while you inhale the warm spice tones of cinnamon, allspice, ginger and clove. The silky Bourbon Sauce topped the adult's desserts. My husband went for pumpkin overload by adding Pumpkin Ice Cream. This will definitely… |

Fruity marshmallows are beautiful to look at and taste great. The fruit gives a nice undertone of flavor, and additions such as candied ginger and nuts dress them up. To make a fruit purée place cut… |

Snickerdoodle Cookies Gluten freeCrispy outside, soft inside with an almost lacy texture. These cookies are perfect. A little cinnamon in the dough enhances the flavor. A rest in the freezer improves the texture and shape of the baked cookies. I received lots of I Love You's from my son for creating an allergy-safe version of his favorite cookie. Gluten free, dairy… |

Gluten Free Chocolate Espresso Biscotti / MandelbrotCoffee, chocolate and cinnamon are wonderful together. These crunchy cookies are a perfect treat. This recipe is designed to be gluten free but feel free to use wheat flour, eliminating the xanthan gum if using wheat flour. The GF flour gives these cookies a sandy, crunchy texture that I love. I buy organic sugar, which is a bit too… |

Autumn Spice CakeOne of my favorite creations. I was going to make my carrot cake which calls for pureed carrots, and realized I had no carrots. It's Fall, and what I did have on hand was canned butternut squash puree. The butternut squash purée and crushed pineapple add a subtle flavor and lots of moisture to this mildly spiced cake. Even the… |

It was a perfect ending for Thanksgiving dinner. Be sure to always use a good quality drinking sherry.… |

Jewish Apple CakeThis is my version of a traditional Jewish Apple Cake. It is one of my Fall favorites. It stays moist and flavorful for days, a good choice when you need to bake ahead of time. Of course, the cake is also wonderful fresh from the oven, cooled just enough to not burn your mouth. I have modified the traditional recipe to include a… |
