Cranberry Orange Cheesecake
If you need a great dessert option for a Christmas Party or family gathering, look no further! This cheesecake is the perfect combination of tart/sweet flavor and WOW factor. I often hear people comment about how difficult it must be to make a cheesecake from scratch and in my opinion that couldn’t be further from…

Fresh Honeycrisp Apple Cake
When I originally shared the recipe for this great Fresh Honeycrisp Apple Cake I had never actually taken the time to put the recipe in typical format (ingredient list followed by instructions) and I received lots of questions about details- things like “how do you toast the pecans?” and ” what if the batter seems…

King Cake
Obviously I’ve been on a bit of a blog haitus- so Hello! How’ve you been? I thought I’d take this opportunity to post a fun recipe from a few years ago. I looked for several weeks for my King Cake recipe, finally locating it on my very own blog (well, my original blog Mudpuddle). I…

Cherry Pie Bars
I’ll say up front that I was never a huge fan of cherry flavor. Perhaps it’s because I never tasted fresh cherries growing up, and for most of my life I associated the taste with the cloying smell of cherry flavored Kool-Aid that seemed to be the drink of choice at every kid birthday party,…

Rustic Apple Tart
Have you ever just needed a dessert? Really needed it? Me too. And yesterday I needed this Rustic Apple Tart. You do know, don’t you, that anytime your desserts come out looking less than perfect, you just put “Rustic” in front of the name and you’re covered. Just like when you run to the store…

Cinnamon Chip Scones
It’s interesting, isn’t it, to have people working in your home? Not like people installing a beautiful new brick and wood floor in your living area (sorry, my mind wanders) or the appliance repair guy, but people who actually live in your home, but normally don’t work there. People who, on a more typical day…

Empanadas
Who’s been in the mood to bake? Call it boredom. Call it stress relief. Call it pleasure. It seems as if many of us are using our extra time at home to do some of the things that our typically busy lifestyles don’t allow. Baking is just one. I also hear that binge watching all…

The $250 Neiman Marcus Cookie
Perhaps you haven’t noticed, but it seems that things have been a little off- kilter lately. Or maybe it’s just me? A lot has changed in the last couple of weeks: Running into the store for a few things? Not as easy or casual as it used to be. Getting up and going to work…

Beignets
Years ago, as a young wife, I left Texas and most everyone I knew to move to the small Louisiana oil town of Morgan City. To me, Morgan City was absolutely in the middle of nowhere. It was most decidedly not “in the middle of everything” as the Chamber of Commerce liked to advertise, touting…

Mandarin Orange Cake
Do you ever do things just to spite yourself? I know that sounds awful and very un-self-healthy and all, but really. Let’s say you’ve been working outside at the farm fixing fence all morning. Well, to be more clear, you have handed things to the main fence-fixer and gotten yourself wrapped up in the darn…
