When it came time to choose the dessert I wanted for Mothers’ Day this year, it wasn’t even a contest. As a self-proclaimed chocoholic (a condition I inherited from my sweet mother!), there is nothing more deliciously, sinfully decadent than the gorgeous confection I’m sharing today: Flourless Chocolate Cake. This cake is incredibly easy to…

Caramelized Onion and Broccoli Tart
This is actually a recipe from deep within the PS archives that I pulled out to make for dinner last night. Our entire family loves this Caramelized Onion and Broccoli Tart, a recipe I wrote based on a number of different quiche recipes I’ve tried over the years. The filling for this is unexpectedly light,…

Tangy Asian Slaw
I love having a go-to salad recipe to serve at barbecues and other gatherings, and this recipe is one I find myself going to again and again.

Cherry-Almond Coffee Cake
In the culinary world, there are some flavors that simply belong together, and for me, cherry and almond are two of those. In this Cherry-Almond Coffee Cake, the fragrant sweetness of almond coupled with bright, tart cherry flavors results in a richly decadent treat that pairs perfectly with a cup of coffee or tea. And…
Buttermilk Pie
The moment I see fresh berries popping up in the supermarket, I find myself dreaming of all of the yummy ways to showcase the sweet little gems. Pound cakes, cobblers and shortcake are obvious contenders, but one of my absolute favorites is actually the least likely of all: Buttermilk Pie. As is typical of chess…
Valentine Doughnut Pops
I had a sudden epiphany the other day as I was walking through the grocery store bakery: When it comes down to it, the difference between the cake pops that are so popular right now and frosted doughnuts is fairly negligible. Both are sweet, yummy cake confections that are covered in chocolate. And both are…
