Williams Sonoma Triple Chocolate BrowniesThis is a very popular recipe that I simplified a bit without losing any of it's goodness. You can serve these when you feel like a dark chocolate cake but don't have time to hassle with it. They make a wonderful end to any meal! They are super chocolaty, so they go really well with a scoop of vanilla or coffee ice cream! |

Struffoli (honey balls)A Christmas favorite in Italian households. When I was growing up in my home there was always a bowl of these available to munch on with milk or, as I got older, with coffee. They are honey glazed pastry balls which are great for a festive snacking treat. |

Ellen Straus's Pie Crust RecipeThis hefty, absolutely unbelievable crust is what our family grew up on. We love it! The pie crust is thick and tastes almost like shortbread but better. It is an ideal crust for any type of fruit (strawberries, Santa Rosa plums or apples). You will need a spring form type of pie pan. |

Easy Cinnamon Apple StrudelThis is super simple and truly delicious. I made it for John's birthday dinner, since he loves cinnamon apple desserts with vanilla ice cream. It's light and flavorful without being too rich. We finished it all in one night between the six of us. Mmm! |

Apple Crisp – Microwave Quick!I haven’t found a quicker apple crisp recipe that tastes as good (or better) than oven-baked. Simple prep and fast cooking make this a perfect dessert when you’re short on time. Plus you can make it year round as the microwave won't heat up the kitchen. |
