Posted on July 25, 2016
This fresh blueberry bundt cake with a sweet vanilla bean glaze might be the highlight of your summer desserts!

Brown Sugar Caramel Pear Crisp
Posted on February 19, 2016
Warm caramel pear crisp topped with a crisp oatmeal topping is perfect the cold late winter days. Every February I get that feeling that Spring isn’t too far away.

Posted on November 9, 2015
New York style crumb cake layered with fresh cranberries. This is the perfect holiday coffee cake! There are people who eat coffee cake as it’s probably intended, all of the components in one bite. And then there are the rest of us (most of us?), who are inclined to eat all the crumbs off the…

Lemon Berry Pavlova Parfaits
Posted on April 20, 2015
The prettiest parfaits layered with lemon whipped cream, fluffy meringue and fresh berries. I’d love to say that I had this big “creative” idea to turn a pavlova into a parfait but that would be a lie. In fact, I had all intentions of sharing a perfectly pretty pavlova with you until mine crumbled a…

No need to turn on the oven for this pie! The no-bake pie includes a thick graham cracker crust, luscious cream cheese layer and homemade blueberry pie filling. I don’t really think of myself as a pie person. My sister? She loves pie. My dad, too. I like pies a lot, but don’t get all…

Vanilla Roasted Strawberry Banana Bread that is Low Fat and Whole Wheat
Posted on July 9, 2013
Healthy banana bread full of delicious vanilla roasted strawberries. It’s Tuesday but I feel like I am still recovering from the long weekend! I think it has something to do with 13+ hours of driving for a two-day trip, dancing all night long at my cousin’s wedding, and the hotel neighbors that found it necessary…
Lollie’s Blueberry Pie
Posted on July 1, 2013
There are so many reasons that I’ve been dying to make this pie for years. One reason is that the original is truly the BEST blueberry pie I have ever had. Mom, Jess, I think you can agree that it really is THE BEST! But beyond that, there are memories. Summers at the Jersey Shore. …
Winter Fruit Crisp {Gluten-free}
Posted on January 7, 2013
I made this fruit crisp so long ago, I had to hunt through piles and piles of notes and butter-stained papers to find it. Well, I guess Thanksgiving wasn’t that long ago, but right now it feels like a lifetime. Fruit crisps are one of my favorite desserts. I mean, anything that is served warm…

Double Crumble Hot Apple Pie
Posted on September 21, 2011
As soon as we made plans to go apple picking, Matt asked if I would make an apple pie. With all of those farm-fresh apples how could I say no? The thing is, I don’t really love pie. Scratch that, I love pie filling, I just don’t care much about the crust. On the other…
