Many thanks to our neighbors for these gorgeous peaches picked fresh from their orchard. The first recipe that came to mind is a flaky, buttery galette, a cousin to the tart family, but rather easier and faster to make.

Caramel Breakaway Bars
Millionaires’ Shortbread, Chocolate Caramel Shortbread Bars, Copycat Twix Bars, and so forth…this recipe has had many titles, regardless of what they may be, it definitely had me at C-A-R-A-M-E-L!
Ice Cream Sandwiches
Family means everything to me…I have two boys–one is starting middle school in a couple of weeks, whilst the other remain at our former neighborhood to complete his studies in journalism.
Back in high school, my eldest boy Brendan did all of the baking. I’ve missed that since our move(s) without him. He would often bake at night, and when he did, we were all guaranteed an enjoyable treat.
Banana Tarte Tartin
Quick, easy, and impressively good! Think of it as caramelized, barbecued bananas on a stick! Here we go…
APRICOT-AND-BASIL SHORTBREAD TART
Pastry chef Roy Shvartzapel layers roasted fresh apricots atop basil custard to make a gorgeous tart. The tender crust is extraordinary: Combining hard-boiled egg yolk and potato starch, it’s based on a classic dough that he learned from Paris pastry genius Pierre Hermé.
Easy As Flanned…
I’ve come across hundreds of flan recipe with very similar ingredients and steps, but since this is my first unflanned attempted, I found this one to be the easiest…especially for a rookie ‘flanner’ like me 😉
Fruits and Veggies in my Cookies and Ice Cream…
Today I had the itch to fidget around my kitchen…and, by the same token, take care of my sweet tooth, as well. I mentioned ‘carrot cake’ to my hubby, and he sort of just cringed. He claims to not liking it. Our little guy won’t even acknowledge it.
Healthy, Sexy, Sweet…Strawberries.
Just a little somethin’ to end your evening on a sweet note!
Upside Down Panettone Bread Pudding
I’ve never had panettone until my family and I received one during the holiday. It is quite good with a nice cup of tea or coffee; but all the while, I’ve received a few suggestions that it is also great for making bread pudding and french toasts. Although I’m not a fan of both, I figured, why not give it a go since I still had a generous half portion left for the eating…
