Making a pie crust from ginger snaps is so much easier than rolling out a pastry crust! This is the perfect crust for a mild filling that doesn’t have to be baked. I use it for my Pumpkin Chiffon Pie. The spiciness and crispiness of the crust provides the perfect […]

Apple and Pomegranate Crêpes
Have your All-Purpose Crepes ready and the rest is a snap. I make Apple and Pomegranate Crêpes with sliced apples mixed with pomegranate seeds. You sauté everything with a fresh Vanilla bean and douse it with Apple Liqueur! You could eat this with a spoon or over ice cream; but […]
Baked Apples
I’ve loved Baked Apples ever since I was a child. I love the texture- soft and smooth like applesauce; but firm enough to hold its shape. I love scraping the apple off the skin and then eating the skin by itself. There are so many variations of Baked Apples. You […]

I never did; until Jessica, President and Founder of Jessica’s Natural Foods sent me many packages (different flavors) of her amazing No Transfat, No cholesterol, Non GMO Verified Granola. I looked at the bag of Pecan Almond Granola and somehow […]
No-Bake Bourbon Balls
I had been making No-Bake Bourbon Balls for years and was so excited when the folks from Gefen/Kedem asked me to work with some of their products. I had always thought of Kedem Tea Biscuits as just the “tea biscuits” my husband liked to snack on. Well, they have other uses. […]

Vanilla Bean Sugar Cookies are packed with that wonderful flavor you can only get from fresh Vanilla beans. When you slice the fresh beans down the middle and scrape the vanilla seeds out, the flavor and aroma are incomparable. Should you discover that your vanilla bean has dried out, just […]
