This dessert is absolutely divine. Fresh, sauteed pears, toasty, and rich pecans, along with delicate and earthy fig preserves create a PERFECT winter treat. The inside is creamy, unique, and flavorful – indulgent. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top, or even a dollop of whipped cream. Your body and soul…

Are you sweet or are you salty?I’d like to say I’m a little bit of both – sweet, salty, and sassy! NOT salty in the way of anger (rarely angry – only THREE things make me angry – another story). I’m salty in the way that I’m FLAVORFUL! Full of spunk – and I always…

I’ve been on a bit of a pie kick lately. Perhaps it’s because I’ve been truly blessed with the honor of providing pie for “Pie and Punch Hour.” Yep, that’s it. That’s exactly why. And this one…it’s more than a pie. non traditional saltine crust it’s a country crust, I’d say – just like that of…

For some strange reason the idea of fresh peaches invokes visions of country cottages and white farm fences-checkered table cloths and mason jar vases. Theses images are particularly curious considering such experiences are still yet to be in this modest life of mine. I do love fresh peaches, though. Giant and juicy, sweetly ripe and housing…
