Chocolate Coconut Drops

These little drops of heaven remind me of Almond Joys, except without the almonds. Although, you can surely add them to give a nice crunch. The soft texture of the inside of the drops pairs well with the crunchier exterior, or add your choice of nuts/seeds for an even better combination! It’s fast, it’s easy,...

Cranberry Fruit Bread

You’ll love this bread for the smell alone! My whole house smells like citrus after baking this. This came out of the oven looking so pretty I couldn’t wait to slice it open and give it a try. I have never been too big on cranberries but this bread was really good! I just know...

Raspberry Fanfare

This recipe can be a little tricky because you have to let the gelatin set enough to where you can layer it, but make sure that it hasn’t set too much as well. If you’re not quite sure how to go about that you can test a little in a small dish til your happy...

Fudge Cake Brownies

This recipe is a good one for anyone that loves a chewy fudge brownie. The walnuts are optional, but I love the crunchy texture and flavor they bring to the brownie. Typically when baking brownies you expect to use an oven. In my case, my oven quit working and instead of waiting for it to...

Lamb and Zucchini

This is a little, well, BIG spin on the classic chicken and zucchini. I substituted chicken with lamb chops and added my twist on “Ratatouille” style zucchini. This dish looks complicated but is nothing of the sort.  I love the color, savoriness and ease of the dish.

The familiar flavors of strawberry and peach, coupled with the tang of one of my favorite tropical fruits, the pineapple! This will look beautiful, served in glass dishes, with a pineapple reduction sauce, drizzled...

Fish with Vegetables

Delicate salmon coated in a delicious vegetable sauce. Perfect for a lite but protein packed supper.

Creamy Rice Pudding

This is a great recipe for anyone who loves a creamy rice pudding. I left out the raisins when making it because no one here is a fan of them, but I’m sure for someone who enjoys them they will be a great addition! The pudding is pretty versatile. You may serve warm or cold...

Blueberry Maple Mousse Parfait

Once I discovered maple mousse I knew I had to try this with other flavor profiles! First thing that came to mind were blueberry pancakes. So why not a blueberry maple mousse parfait? This turned out so much tastier than I imagined! The mousse was nice and creamy, the pancakes were fluffy and the bacon...

Creamy Maple Mousse

This recipe was a lot of fun to make. The thought of making anything with maple syrup as the flavor profile was something that I’ve never thought to make before. I used real maple syrup for the first time and I noticed that it is much sweeter than your typical store-bought syrup such as Aunt...
