Gluten Free Spiced Apple Tart

Although Pumpkin Pie and Pecan Pie are the traditional Thanksgiving dessert, I prefer to “spice” things up…aka change things up every year. While a Super Spiced Pumpkin Pie worked last year for the family, and the Bourbon Pecan Brownies were a nice touch as well, I felt like cinnamon and apples this year. A Gluten-Free Spiced…

There’s always the humble sweet potato pie that is often forgotten on account of the sweet potato casserole served at the dinner table. This year, the…

Vanilla Pecan Corncake

When I was a kid, my mom used to make our cornbread with yogurt. Sometimes it was plain yogurt, and sometimes it was vanilla, custard style. This always resulted in a rich, moist cornbread, reminiscent of cake. It was perfect – no butter, no honey necessary. (Well, okay, sometimes we’d indulge with honey butter). In…

Peanut Butter Cinnamon Cheesecake Bars

For the longest time I thought I didn’t care for cheesecake. In fact, I was convinced that cheesecake was on “my list” of items I would forever avoid. I’m not quite sure why I had convinced myself of this ~ but as life moved on and I graduated from college, I discovered (on my graduation…
