Maraschino Cherry White Chocolate Almond Brownie

April 23, 2015 by Stacey 2 Comments

What is it about the beloved maraschino cherry that makes everyone smile? When I was younger if I had to share a dessert (torturous) with my brother we would argue over the cherry. It swirls the bottom of endless cocktail glasses. And my 3 year old daughter loves to beg her grandfather for one whenever we visit. Is it the bright bejeweled red color that seems to glow? The sweet candy taste? The pop in your mouth when you take a bite? All of the above? What ever it is it’s the delicious main star of this brownie

Grapefruit Fennel Cilantro Salad

April 16, 2015 by Stacey Leave a Comment

Until a few years ago the only way I knew to eat a grapefruit was to cut it in half, sprinkle it with sugar and dive into each juicy section one by one. Then I saw a clip from Martha Stewart on how to segment citrus fruit. This opened a whole new realm of possibilities with Grapefruit. As many of you may have experienced the peel and pith can be unforgivingly bitter and the skin tough and stringy. By segmenting the fruit you are removing the peel, pith and skin. You are then only left with glistening fruit wedges.

Butter Pecan Blondie

April 7, 2015 by Stacey Leave a Comment

Butter Pecan – I remember being teased that “Butter Pecan” was for “old folks” when I named it as one of my favorite ice creams as a kid. I never really understood this, I mean who wouldn’t love butter and pecans together, it’s as American as apple pie. Not helping my case was the fact it was always my grandma and grandpa that would bring it over for dessert when they would come visit. But I stood my ground and to this day it’s still one of my favorite flavor combinations and not just because I’m getting older (lol).

Chocolate Ganache + Dulce De Leche = HEAVEN!!!!

My husband has a picky palette. So when he asked me to make this again for his family over Easter it was a compliment. This upscale desert is so fabulous that I have to give half away just so I won’t keep eating it. That’s one of the hazards of working from home, if there’s good food in the house I can’t stop myself.

Simple Easter Cupcakes

March 29, 2015 by Stacey Leave a Comment

I get excited for Easter every year. Being in Michigan the winters tend to drag on and the landscape is quite dreary. But when Easter is around the corner that means Spring is on its way and with it all the vibrant colors I have really missed over the last months.

I’m happy to bring these cheery Easter cupcakes your way. They are colorful, simple and best of all you get to use many “ready made” items.
