I bought these beautiful Campari tomatoes for this tart and they were delicious 😋. Along with the ricotta cheese, lemon and eggs I added basil and thyme as my fresh herbs 🪴. I made this on a hot summer day and served it with a salad for a nice dinner. My husband and I really…

Park Avenue Brownies
I waited for our summer BBQ to make these brownies and I made a double batch; one with nuts and one without. I busted out my new container of fleur de sel that I purchased in France for this recipe also. These were a hit with the crowd and they all disappeared. I particularly like…
Blueberry Biscuits
This week on Tuesdays with Dorie we are making breakfast biscuits. These biscuits are similar to a scone recipe I make. This version uses plain yogurt and milk as the dairy portion, my recipe uses sour cream and an egg yolk. The dry ingredients include flour, baking powder, salt and soda. Lemon zest is rubbed…
Little Marvels
I voted for this recipe since I had just been to Aux Merveilleux de Fred in Versailles, France. I am so glad that I did as they were so delicious and my mother-in-law declared it the best dessert I have made, high praise indeed. I made a full recipe and I sent one home with…
Double-Chocolate Rhubarb Tart
This week on Tuesdays with Dorie we are making a tart, something always appreciated in our house. As soon as we picked this item to make I started scouring the grocery stores for rhubarb, an elusive item at times. I found some rhubarb at one of my local grocery stores, Pavilions, and snatched up 4…
Lemon Meringue Layer Cake
This cake is made for the citrus lover and luckily I am married to one. Lemon is in every part of this recipe. The cake is baked with lemon zest, lemon syrup is brushed on the finished cakes, the filling is lemon cream and lemon juice is even in the frosting. If you want to…
Oatmeal Cookies with Nuts and Chocolate
Bonjour. I am posting from Paris, France. I am celebrating my 25th wedding anniversary in a city that is known for love and great food. I managed to knock out these cookies before I left. Oddly, I had all the ingredients for these cookies. Staple ingredients flour, oats, butter, both sugars, honey, and eggs. Flavored…
A Big Banana Cake
Happy birthday to me. I was waiting for my birthday celebration to make this cake since it needed to be shared. There is a lot going on in this cake: two kinds of flour white and wheat, allspice, brown and white sugar, butter, sour cream and mashed bananas of course. This is not a light…
Chocolate Éclairs
I am a self-professed chocolate lover but even I thought doing all chocolate for these chocolate eclairs was too much. My husband agreed and was happy with my substitution of vanilla pastry cream. It has been quite some time since I have made eclairs or cream puffs so I felt a bit rusty but they…
Biscuits Rose
My rose biscuits are more like red biscuits. One half a teaspoon of red food dye was too much 😆 Making these cookies are like making lady fingers. I did draw the lines on my parchment paper to use as a guide. I had more than the recipe called for. I did the two applications…
