Serving Up Small Batch Happiness
These dainty cookies pack a big flavor punch thanks to Craisins and dark chocolate. They are a healthier alternative to coffee shop cookies, which is a bonus for the waistline. Baked in small batches, you won’t feel guilty having these little guys around for a day or two. Enjoy them with tea or coffee, or better yet, a glass of cold milk!
Stewed apples and custard get a makeover in this new take on a classic Irish dessert. The use of bourbon barrel aged maple syrup sets the stage for a dish with depth and flavor. Fall just got tastier.
For coffee lovers, fall is Pumpkin Spice Latte season. For this recipe I tried to capture the flavors of this autumn favorite in a dessert. A spicy gingerbread combined with a warm latte sauce makes one heavenly combination. Coffee-lovers and non-drinkers alike will love this dessert.
These parfaits are a reinvention of the Black Forest Gateaux. In this deconstructed version, pomegranate replaces cherry and the super dark chocolate cake has been lightened to complement the new fruit. Sweet cream rounds out the flavor, which is sure to be a new favorite in your house!
A Halloween cookie house is a fun spin on the traditional Christmas gingerbread house. For this project I swapped shortbread for gingerbread. The result is a house that bakes up quickly. This is a fun project to do with kids, so give it a try.
I'm a professional photographer and storyteller based in Portland, Oregon. I'm also a globetrotting foodie and culinary explorer. I'm obsessed with bold seasonings and take pride in my ever-growing spice collection. As a self-taught home chef/baker, I occasionally share the kitchen with two amazing sous chefs (my husband and young daughter). When I'm not behind the camera, you'll find me planning my next flavor adventure, whether it be on the road or in my kitchen.
