Fruit Of the Gods Pie
Time: 45 minutes When I was a kid, every few summers, we’d jump in our camper and head to the Okanagan Valley in British Columbia. Every mile you’d come across a fruit stand… delicious, fresh fruit grown right in BC. (Now – every mile is another winery, but that is also a great thing to…

Banana Chocolate Chip Bars
Time: 30 minutes My future lays beyond the yellow brick road… or beyond the banana chocolate chip bars… sigh. These bars are a great way to use up bananas that are ripe. They are a nice thin bar, so you can eat a few. They are a bit sweet, so I recommend a strong cup…

Breakfast Pear Souffles
Time: 45 minutes For whatever reason, souffles are not on menus as often as they should be. For a great history of souffles, read the “Rise and Fall of the Souffle in Modern Cuisine“. I think there is an overall aversion to making them as there is a belief that they are tricky to make….
Strawberry Shortcake Scones
Time:45 minutes My hubby’s favorite dessert is Strawberry Shortcake on a scone, not cake. He is very particular about it. In celebration of his birthday, we usually make it for him and we like to add a bit of citrus to it – so I add orange zest to the scones and lace the whipping…
Crumble Top Apple Pie
Time: 90 minutes My mom makes the best pies. This is one of her recipes and her photos that she sent me, as we live in different cities/towns. When I asked her what song it reminds her of she text me “Sugar Pie Honey Bunch”… and I know why, too. Or at, least, I think…
