In Greek mythology, pomegranates were used to trick the goddess, Persephone, into becoming the queen of the underworld. With this dessert, you can tell the story of a sweet girl turned dark and bitter within the clouds.

So why not give a guest, friend, or lover a taste of good intentions?
This cocktail is known as an Alexander and may contain brandy or gin. For this recipe, I have substituted with Southern Comfort, but you may use any brandy or gin that you enjoy. Creamy and rich, this cocktail is the definition of decadence.

Truffles with a filling are delicious and don’t have to be hard to make. Cherry filled truffles are a great gift as well.
Who doesn’t love a bacon-wrapped scallop? This dish was created to bring the saltiness of the bacon with the sweetness of the maple syrup to elevate the scallops. It’s a protein that pairs easily with any side dish to make a full meal and it’s rich enough to enjoy by itself. It is a balanced dish of textures and flavors that the whole family will enjoy.

This recipe was fun and easy. I have never made these before, but it wasn’t hard to make and they were good and my husband’s coworkers loved them. The pies can be made for any occasion.

You can visit numerous producers, taste their wares, and grab some syrup or other goodies on your way out. In 2007 while visiting the various producers I picked up a bunch of recipe pages on all sorts of categories that …
This was my every first wedding cake, I was so scared that I was not going to be able to do it. The cake took a lot of time to do. The cake was a 3 tier cake a 10, 8, and 6 inch pans. Everyone loved it was soft and yummy.
I couldn’t find veal breast. So I substituted it for chicken breast. It turned out delicious. I sprinkled cheese on top for flavor.
My grandma and I enjoyed this very much. She loves broccoli too. I will be making this more often.
Angel food cake is one of my favorites and this recipe doesn’t disappoint! I thought this was a fun spin to the regular way I’ve seen them made in the past, and who doesn’t like strawberries and cream? This is such a nice light and airy dessert that’s not very sweet. This recipe will make a 10-inch angel food cake, but I decided to try making the cake in my instant pot so I have also included the instructions on how to do that.
Parfaits are quick, easy, and visually appealing. Finish the evening and impress guests with this easy maple parfait. It is quick and easy to prepare ahead of time and thrown together at the last minute if desired. Change it up with your own mix and match of nuts and fruit. Maple syrup never looked so good.
Deviled crabs are the perfect appetizer or a pleasant addition to any seafood feast with other fresh items from your local market. Deviled crabs have a great punch of flavor while maintaining a remarkable balance. Surprisingly, this dish is not spicy as the ingredients might elude. Similar to the crab cake the center is very tender and the outer layer forms a slight crispy layer. Give this a try and experience the pleasure.
I get a very nostalgic feeling when I think of fudge. I watched my grandmother make all kinds of fudge over the years with such ease, and every time it came out so delicious, smooth, and creamy. I have tried, and had many failed attempts over the years at making fudge, so I decided to give it a try again when given this recipe. I am completely amazed at how easy it was to make. It is absolutely every bit as delicious as the fudge my grandmother used to make. It is smooth and silky, and the toasted pecans gave …
Ganache is a simple mixture of equal parts chocolate and heavy cream. What if you don’t have cream though? Easy, cream is just milk with more butter fats so add butter. Equal milk and butter to equal the chocolate.
