Bourbon Sweet Potatoes with Bacon-Pecan ToppingSweet potatoes or yams, I honestly don’t really know the difference.  I know there is a difference.  But, if you mash ’em up with some bourbon, top ’em with bacon and pecans and a good drizzle of maple syrup…well then, I don’t think it matters one bit.  Continue reading →

Cider-Bourbon Caramel Apple PieWith autumn upon us, and all those lovely apples and apple cider, I decided to slightly rethink my apple pie.  The roots are the same as the Spiced Caramel Apple Pie, with all the warm spices, but I decided I wanted to “punch” up the apple taste to help create another little slice of heaven.   Continue reading →

Rustic Bourbon-Spiced Pear & Apple Tart‘Tis the time of year for pies and tarts.  Autumn…mmmmm!  Such good, rich flavors and pears and apples are always a big part of that.  Apple pie is a favorite of the men in The Goddess’s life, but she’s sort of partial to a combination of pears and apples.  Continue reading →

042 - CopyIt’s all about the sauce.  And this is a fantastic version, the Russian Sable of Fudge Sauces.  This is THE Fudge Sauce.  Okay, so you get that it’s really good, right?  The Flying Librarian makes a hot fudge that may, may be even better than this, but she refuses to give me the recipe…some nonsense about swearing on her son’s life, so she won’t give out the recipe.  Sometimes you just have to take the risk.  It’s fudge sauce.  Is she kidding?  Continue reading →
