Blueberry Streusel- Topped Muffins
In preparation for my staycation (I mean, who doesn’t just love staying home for four days instead of flying off to Cabo?), I am preparing to turn my place into a B&B, and I am not talking Bénédictine here, although surely alcohol will be on hand. You can’t have a ...
Almond Peach Upside-Down Cake
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...

Double Apple Pecan Crumble
Okay Boulderites, I’m going for cozy this week. Usually by the middle of October I have made at least five pumpkin-based desserts for TV, but this year I’m slacking. November will have to be “pumpkin dessert month,” which makes sense...
Chocolate Strawberry and Champagne Cupcakes
I hope you had a fan-freakin’tastic Valentine’s Day...
