We have reached the tail end of Mango Season here in South Florida. And, my successful experimentation during last year’s mango season gained me a reputation at the office. In fact, I think I got at least twice as many mangoes this year as I did last year. They just kept them coming! There are
Skip to Recipe Do you ever get an idea that is just so crazy, you just HAVE to try it to see if it will actually work? That happened to me one afternoon, as another bag of the endless supply of mangoes from my coworker’s tree appeared by my desk this Mango Season. There I
Skip to Recipe One of the plus sides of knowing your way around the kitchen is that food is quite often an acceptable form of currency in my social circle. Oftentimes, people will happily trade goods and services for the right dish. And, really, who ISN’T more likely to lend a helping hand if it
Skip to Recipe When I was a teenager, I wasn’t allowed to get a job. My “job,” I was told, was to get good grades. So, in order to make a little bit of spending money, I started making brownies and selling them at school. I quickly became known as “Brownie Girl,” and it would

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
Skip to Recipe Let’s face it – it was only a matter of time before it happened. The candy bar bug has bit me again. After the success of my two previous candy bar cakes (Kit Kat Cake and Twix Cake, anyone?), I just KNEW that I had to keep the streak going. Since I’ve
It’s that time of the year when pumpkin treats pop up everywhere. And, since my job recently hosted a craft fair, I thought it would be nice to feature an item that was pumpkin-flavored. So, I made mini pumpkin bundt cakes. You can easily scale this recipe up and make one, large bundt cake. However,
