There are certain desserts that I wholeheartedly believe are year-long delights to bake and enjoy. Their simplistic essence that only needs a handful of ingredients to naturally and wildly transform according to the season, the ingredients available at hand or whatever imagination is setting the mood. And yet these desserts are sought out and devoured…
A Healthier Triple Chocolate Loaf Cake
With Mother’s Day this weekend, the end of Spring nearing then Summer and Autumn and Winter holidays, a reason to bake an effortless chocolate loaf cake isn’t really needed. And when that sugary sweet tooth is calling, and if yours beckons for chocolate as does for most of us, then a go-to quick chocolate cake…
Whole Wheat Arugula + Spinach Cake :: Bolo “Shrek” de Agrião e Espinafre
Spring has bloomed! And yet with all that’s been happening around the world, many of us missed it or didn’t celebrate it like we always do when the flowering trees once again brighten our days. At the first sight of tree’s flowering buds, I’m outside as much as the weather and time permits, taking walks…
Chocolate – Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream
Where most would say January felt long and dragged, I on the other hand felt it was long in every perfect way! The kind of slow and long that allowed time for work, free creative time, time for personal stuff and simple relaxing things like stitching, cooking, baking and reading. But February. Now, February has…
Peanut Butter Chocolate Swirl Ice Cream topped with Bananas Foster … No Churn
Lately I’ve been craving ice cream, I mean who isn’t with warm days and summer upon us. Add in that my mind is still not over all the ice cream treats and details from Delia’s darling birthday celebration, the food theme party of my dreams. If only I had a personal ice cream truck serving…
Caramel Pumpkin Pie
Good ole pumpkin pie. Some are all about it, some will eat it if served but that’s about it, and then the rest simply don’t care for it. It’s definitely an acquired taste, not an instant crowd pleaser like apple pie. But for some time, before the holidays get real busy, I had been craving…
Peach & Raspberry Pandowdy
Oh sweet sweet summertime, you’re sadly coming to your end once again. Although summer isn’t over until the end of September, and even though I continue to ride the summer vibes until the east coast weather officially turns on us, for most Labor Day marks the unofficial end of this season, I love so much….

Be fair warned this ice cream may be vegan but it is still as addicting, full fat and richly creamy as…
Mango Curd Ice Cream
And just like that, another summer month is coming to its end. July where did you go so quickly? I didn’t get to enjoy and make nearly enough ice cream to commemorate National Ice Cream Month. This food holiday isn’t just a fad either, it’s been around since 1984 when President Ronald Reagan declared July as…
Mango Coconut Cream Pie
Sweet sweet summertime. You are warm and fresh, colorful and ripe with so many juicy seasonal flavors. And I’m going to apologize to all of you right now because I’ve been working on putting together several summer recipes to share on the blog the next few weeks, but the only thing is that a good chunk…
