So, I would like to comment on the flood (OK, more a drizzle than a flood) of remarks I got from last week’s rustic cheddar and apple pie...

I could give you a thousand reasons why you will love this week’s treat, but then I would have to take you out behind the woodshed and ... well, I can’t reveal the torture methods inflicted on people who find out my Dessert Diva secrets. But I will tell you that tofu...

I have been dreaming of this week’s dessert for a couple of months now. Yes, some people dream of money and fame (I mean world peace). Me, I dream of chocolate, butter and nuts all mixed together to form the perfect treat...

Well, I'm another year older and another year wiser. Yes, my birthday was Sunday, and now I must remember what age I told everyone I was last year to make sure that this year I follow suit. I don't mind belated birthday gifts, so please contact me, and I will show up...

Turn off your ovens, people. The temperature is hot, and so are my desserts (yes, I complimented myself, whatever). Not this recipe, though. I’m saving on your electricity bill and making your life sweet all at the same time. No-Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Bars are a hot ...

Oh summer, you are disappearing before my eyes. Not that I mind too much — the heat really gets on my last nerve. It’s just the fact that time goes faster and faster, stopping for no one. I’d better get all my patio happyhouring in before it snows. All right, that...

People, people, people. This week you are going to be so happy with my creation that you might just want to name a street after me...
