Fruit Fools are a great dessert to have in your repertoire. They can be quickly prepared, use the fruits in season, can be very last minute or made ahead of time and are therefore, pretty easy. All you really need is to have some fresh and heavy cream…you always have heavy cream in the fridge, don’t you? Continue reading

Rhubarb is spring and early summer. How something so sour, when mixed with a bit of sugar and/or strawberries can taste so good, is beyond the scope of The Goddess’s comprehension…but delicious it is. I’m partial to rhubarb crisp, rather than pie. I love the buttery, crunching topping and when I make a pie, I prefer to use this topping. Continue reading

Granola seems to be a flash back to the 60’s. It shouldn’t be. This is THE recipe for granola. Seriously. Superlatives aside. This is so good you won’t stop eating it until your jaws get tired. Then you’ll rest and go right back in for more! Truly, it is without a doubt, the best granola you will ever toss over your teeth! It’s good stirred into yogurt, it’s great sprinkled gingerly over a scoop of ice cream and fantastic eaten just as it is. Continue reading

This is the dessert for dessert lovers! It’s oozy, boozy and decadently rich. This is the perfect dessert for a casual get together with 10 of your closest friends, but it will easily serve 16 people. You’ll want leftovers. After everyone leaves, late at night, one plate with 2 forks…where you go from there is up to you…. Continue reading

This is a perfect Valentine’s dessert for lovers and other strangers. This is a dessert that screams to be shared and really, what is Valentine’s Day for if not for sharing decadence and love. Sometimes they’re the same thing, aren’t they? Continue reading

I felt after the lean Heathen Gypsy Soup, you needed something to snarf down that would put some staying power into that snow shovel. So here’s the second posting for today. Enjoy these.
Don’t you just love making bar cookies? They are delicious and usually they go together so easily that you can make them before you go to work. Blondies are one of the best bar cookies. They are a cross between brownies and chocolate-chip-type cookie batter. They are dense, sweet, chewy, moist and rich…they are decadent and you simply cannot eat just one. Remember…life is short. Have the second blondie…. Continue reading

I love, love, love cinnamon…okay, it’s out there. I’ve admitted my addiction to it. I love the flavor and the aroma conjures up all sorts of wonderful childhood memories from both my own childhood and the memories I have of when our sons were small. Continue reading

We had a terrific weekend. Our son and daughter-in-law and her family shared their time with us. They are great people and incredibly fun to spend time with. I made this dessert, as Jessica loves cake and she seems to have a soft spot for homemade vanilla ice cream (and for our son, The Middle Child). This is the perfect dessert for this time of year. It’s served warm, plus you have the warm glow from the bourbon (or rum, Cointreau, brandy, etc…whatever floats your lusty, boozy, dessert-boat!) to keep the chilly wind at bay. Continue reading

It’s that time of year! I love cranberry sauce. I can eat bowls of that wonderfully tart/sweet/chewy/oranginess that appears this time of the year. It’s easy and simply put…gorgeous. Continue reading
