These individual portions make a perfect addition to a dessert bar. No-Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake Mini Trifles are delicious and gorgeous. Any time I see the words ‘no-bake’ little warning alarms go off in my head. It doesn’t happen all the time, but more often then …
Guests will come back for seconds with Pumpkin Tiramisu on the table. Light pumpkin mousse layered with ladyfingers that have been drenched in coffee. As much as I love pumpkin pie, I have to admit that I don’t mind mixing things up a bit … …
Chock full of delicious vegetables and beef sausage, these Beef & Egg Breakfast Mugs are super easy to make and yummy to boot. You know those sayings about how apples don’t fall far from trees or that kids will follow in their parents’ footsteps, blah, blah, …
Here’s a perfect breakfast treat as we head into fall. Delicious pumpkin surrounds chocolate chips, crystallized ginger. Pumpkin-Chocolate Chip Muffins. I just finished completing a survey about 9/11 for a high school friend. It wasn’t hard to do because it does not feel like it …

Yesterday I did something that I haven’t had the chance to do in a long, long time. I cooked for my parents. As I did my normal rummage (or as my French-speaking folks would say, as I farfouilled) through drawers and cupboards to find the …
Shortly before Halloween, Dudette and I headed over to the Piedmont-Triad Farmers’ Market. I love that place, but it’s far enough away that we have to actually plan to go there, packing lunches, bringing suitcases, remembering in-car entertainment. Okay, it’s not that bad, but it …
