Chocolate Raspberry Parfaits
Gooood morning, Phoenix! Oh wait, I still live in Colorado. These temperatures are messing with my mind. I don’t know why I’m so over the heat this summer — we still have a long way to go. Perhaps it is that my dessert line has me in the kitchen 24/7, and baby...
Cinnamon Apple Crumble
It’s been an Applepalooza of a month. I can’t get away from the apple desserts. They have been requested for parties, picnics and potlucks. Sounds like a bad Food Network show, but no, it’s just where my creations have been showing up. This week, my friends, it is...
Chocolate Oatmeal Trail Mix Cookies
Does the thought of a healthy cookie conjure up images of dry, tasteless and small culinary concoctions? Come on, I know you buy that “healthy” little green box of cookies and eat every last one because you think you can. I’m not being Judgy Judgerson, I just ...
Chocolate Date Truffles
I might just have the easiest treat you will ev-ahh make. It is tasty, good for you, and the options are freaking endless. I had to use “freaking” to really drive home my point. I realize it’s more of a surfer-explaining-his-waves sort of term, but I don’t freaking...
Dark Chocolate Crackle Cookies

White Chocolate Lemon Cream Squares
I can’t tell you how happy I am sister spring is here. I know we still have a few blasts of Old Man Winter (he is so grumpy, that one), but I am celebrating the sun and ignoring the few blasts of nasty sure to pop up...
Pumpkin Spice Bread with Cheesecake Filling
Ah, Halloween is over, and on to Christmas we go. Wait, Thanksgiving comes first, even though these days, who would know? I happen to love Thanksgiving and everything that comes along with it. Some things just go together naturally, sugar and spice, football and beer...
Dark Chocolate Chunk Date Bars
Well, this week’s dessert isn’t the prettiest of treats, but looks aren’t everything, right? At least that’s what they tell me...
Whole Wheat Blueberry Pancakes
Breakfast for dinner? That certainly isn’t uncommon for most of you, including my own love-to-eat-anything-anytime family. How about breakfast for dessert? That’s what I’m talking about. I guess it could be a breakfast for dinner and dessert combo, if you really ...
