Not-too-sweet and wrapped in flaky pastry, this Blueberry Basil Galette is a perfect summer treat. Juicy blueberries pair wonderfully with the herbal, floral notes of basil for a dessert that tastes like it was picked straight from the garden. With a bit of lemon zest and juice to bring it all too life, this galette …
Crispy and crunchy, these White Chocolate and Praline Biscotti are nutty and just the right amount of sweet. Perfect for dipping into a nice cup of coffee or tea–the warm liquid softens the biscotti–these twice baked cookies have become an instant classic for me. Each slice is full of white chocolate chips and pieces of …
A hot toddy on a cool day just hits the spot. Cinnamon, whiskey, lemon, and honey–it’s cozy and comforting and is basically the drink equivalent of wrapping yourself in a warm blanket while wearing a pair of fuzzy socks. This Hot Toddy Pie brings all of the comfort and flavor of a hot toddy to …
This Apple Gruyere Pie is utterly impossible to resist. There’s nothing like the combination of fruit and cheese–there are many fruit and cheese charcuterie boards out there that will back me up on this–and the pairing of sweet, lightly spiced apples, with the sweet, nutty, and salty Gruyere is one that just works.
