Plum Cobbler
A cobbler is an easy and delicious dessert, you are basically making a loose jam filling and covering it in biscuits. Most people recommend a dollop of wet biscuit dough on top, which is really delicious in and of itself, but I like to use my standard biscuit dough to have nice fluffy biscuits. I press the dough out and fold it five times to create lovely layers as it bakes. If you want an even simpler dough, make it as the recipe calls and skip the folding, just dollop it on with a big spoon.
Moroccan Rice Pudding
This dish became much simpler to make when I realized that I could buy almond milk instead of boiling, grinding, and straining almonds for hours on end. I am very grateful to the vegans at this moment! This simple dessert is amazing and delicious both warm and cold. Traditionally, I read it is served in…

I am always searching for something natural to augment the color. This…

Raspberry and Cream Cheese Hand Pies
These babies were developed for my New Orleans Dinner, but I planned way too many desserts, so I haven’t served them to a large crowd until our Memorial Day Steak and Cake Cookout on Monday. What makes this pastry special is the sweet pastry crust that is used. I generally prefer a simple pastry flour…
Lavender Macaron with Lemon Buttercream
Lavender makes me think of the summer. I always imagine a countryside in Italy or France with fields of violet, or seemingly carelessly placed pots of lavender and rosemary basking joyfully under the hot sun as bees frolic from flower to flower. I think of lavender and lemon squeezed over desserts and fish alike. These…
