Skip to Recipe The holidays have come and gone, leaving a trail of obesity and broken diets in their wake. I, for one, have no regrets. Sure, none of my pants fit me quite right anymore, but it was worth it. Plus, it’s a great time for some baking experimentation. I came up with this
Skip to Recipe Is there any beverage more “holiday” than eggnog? I didn’t think so. Take that, Pumpkin Spiced Lattes! To be honest, I don’t actually drink eggnog too much. I do, however, enjoy the occasional scoop of eggnog ice cream around this time of year. That was the inspiration for this creme brulee. I

These past two weeks have been a whirlwind of mango. Yet, all good things must come to an end. As the bombardment of mangoes from my coworker’s overly fertile tree winds down, I am taking a look back at all of the mango goodness that I was able to produce with my seemingly endless stream of
Mango Season continues in full swing! I continue getting generous donations of ripe mangoes from work. It’s been fun experimenting with recipes to incorporate the mango. This mango flan was one such experiment. It turned out to be a success, and someone requested that I give them the recipe. So, here it is!
It’s Mango Season in South Florida! And, at my new job, my coworkers are not stingy about sharing the wealth. We have been getting bags full of mangoes every day from a coworker’s over-productive tree. But, there are only so many mangoes you can eat as is. And, overripe mangoes are plentiful.
