Strawberry Pecan Torte

This fabulous recipe is a showstopper. It’s made from a very light ground nut cake that is layered with strawberry jam and a browned butter cream cheese frosting. The cake does take some time to make, but it’s so worth it. Slicing the cake layers in half is the trickiest part...

Salmon and Basil Croissant Sandwiches

Using croissants for sandwiches is very indulgent, and a very easy way to dress up what can be an ordinary recipe. While most bakeries offer croissants, it may be worth your while to search out the real thing; a flaky, buttery, delicious croissant. But if you can’t find the real...

Puppy Meatloaf

When I was young, we had the best dog in the world. She was a purebred German Shepherd from Chell Peterson. Her name was Naschafa von Buckman (she was from an “N” litter and that was her legal surname) whom we called Schafee. She had dozens of champions in her...

Fudgy Peppermint Bonbon Dessert

One of my earlier memories about ice cream (and I have many) is going to Bridgeman’s Ice Cream Parlor. I am not quite sure, but I think they were the originator of the Peppermint Bonbon ice cream flavor. When I was about 10 years old, the dad of one of...
