Calypso Blondies by Adam Janowski

I so love blondies! Blondies are basically brownies without the cocoa and contain brown sugar instead of white sugar. Brownies seem so “old hat” these days.

New Orleans Butter Pralines by David Gilbert

Open Faced Peach Mango Cobbler w/Crystallized Ginger by Smokinhotchef

Peaches and mangoes are wonderful and bright with natural, juicy sweetness, unmatched by many.

Ginger makes a notable appearance in this recipe for a natural spiciness and the luxury of being one of the super spices and…

My niece made this for Christmas. I was already so full I couldn't walk and still couldn't stop eating this delicious dessert. It can be made with low/non fat options as well.
