Blueberries with Lime Sugar & Citrus ConfitThis is one of my absolute favorite berry desserts and comes from Tony Bourdain and Les Halles Restaurant in NYC. I have had the audacity to make just one minor modification to the recipe, but I have no regrets, and neither will you. We grow blueberries all season long at Walnut Ridge Farm, so there are always opportunities to try… |

“Bear Sign” (Or… a more polite name: “Nut & Berry Shortbread Bars”)During the off-season, when salmon aren’t readily available up north, Alaskan bears eat mainly nuts and berries. So to track a bear in the woods, you simply look to the forest floor and watch for “bear sign”. Need I say more? Ha! These are SO easy… |

Good Stuff Dessert (a chocolate pudding trifle)Years ago a friend gave me this recipe saying it is as the name says, truly “Good Stuff.” Layers start with a pecan crust, then a cream cheese filling, chocolate pudding layer and a whip topping. As a dessert it’s a real “looker,” but the taste tells you this is one luscious “icebox” cake. The name doesn’t do this one justice ~… |

Uncle Amos' Molasses CookiesThis is an old stand-by, perfect for the holidays, for winter, for enjoying with a glass of milk, or hot coffee, tea or cocoa. The beautiful thing is that these cookies get better everyday - if you can stand to have them around without consuming them! This is a make-the-dough-one-day and bake-the-cookies-the-next project, so… |

Date & Ginger Couscous PuddingThe time has come for another Top Chef It Yourself challenge, in which participants will need to create a dish using dates, ginger and couscous... my mind immediately went to Moroccan cuisine, but I also figure everyone else would have the same idea. Trying to think outside of the box, my mind went towards... rice pudding, but why… |

Key Lime PieToo early for real, fresh fruit pies here - but Spring brings Key Limes, and that means unbaked Key Lime Pie with a slightly sweetened sour cream topping. I use pasteurized-in-the-shell eggs, so there is no issue with salmonella and I can move the pies from prep to cooler. Saves a load of time and makes a fabulous, flavorful,… |

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. |

Chewy Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Bar CookiesQuick to make, these bar cookies are a sister version of drop cookies (the dough can actually be made into those if you prefer.) Oatmeal and nuts provide a light crunchiness to the moist and munchy texture. In brief - a delightful cookie your company will love! |

NUTTY flourless cookie CRISPS < Brutti ma Buoni >Got a few egg whites left over from a recipe? Here's a super easy crispy, flourless cookie called < Brutti ma Buoni >. It's an Italian saying...loosely translated as ugly looking (not really) but yummy. Originally made with roasted hazelnuts...however, re-created to include roasted almonds instead. I also reduced much of the… |

Delectable Passover Magic BarsThese bars are rich, sweet, gooey and definitely addictive. This recipe is a takeoff of our Outrageous Magical Bars. We love them so much we’ve converted our recipe for Passover. We’re using matzo crumbs instead of graham cracker crumbs and a spread like Smart Balance to replace the reduced-fat butter. We also added dried… |
