Don’t let the sound of making bread pudding with a dessert sauce overwhelm you. There couldn’t be an easier recipe to make for tonight’s dinner than this Raspberry White Chocolate Bread Pudding. It’s so easy, in fact, I’m adding an Amaretto Cream Sauce to the mix to make it even more decadent. The entire recipe…

Lemon Meringue Cupcakes with Meyer Lemon Curd
This Lemon Meringue Cupcakes Post was published back in 2019. I developed the recipe for this tender butter cupcake with lemon curd filling in honor of the great news that our house sold after an hour and a half on the market and Hector getting a new job. We were preparing to pack up our…
Peach Cobbler: An Old-Fashioned Dessert
Peach season is dwindling down to its last few days, so I wanted to be sure to drop an old-fashioned Peach Cobbler on you. My version is topped with a quickly-laminated dough covering a brown sugar-bourbon filling. When it bubbles, it’s done. There’s nothing easier, or sweeter, than that. Seriously, the most difficult part about…
Mint Chocolate Chip Banana Bread
Disclaimer: I truly have no idea in which recipe category this Mint Chocolate Chip Banana Bread belongs. It started out as a breakfast bread. I mean, it is banana bread, after all. But, then, slowly, unwittingly, it morphed into a dessert. The mint chocolate and ganache and a liberal sprinkling of candy canes kind of…

Puff Pastry Dough from Scratch
My most stressful class in culinary school was Classical Pastries. Chef Jan Bandula was the instructor and he was also a Certified Master Pastry Chef. And he was European. Failure was not an option in any of his courses. But Chef Bandula also wanted us to win. He never made us feel like idiots if…
Tres Leches Chocolate Cake with Cajeta Drizzle
We’re smack-dab in the middle of Hispanic Heritage Month and do you know what that means for my Puerto Rican family? Absolutely nothing. That’s right. Since we celebrate our “hispanicness” on a daily basis, this weirdly-dated pseudo-holiday holds no importance to us. But, that’s just us. I do have a Hispanic recipe I want to…

I’m sure that I’m not the only one who gets slapped in the face by holidays. Labor Day has snuck up on me once again. Thankfully, I’m not too late to help you out, my friend. Because I know Labor Day BBQs are about to go down, I’ve compiled a roundup of my go-to entertaining…
Quick Lemon Curd and Raspberry Tart
I’ve just spent the last 5 hours at the Department of Motor Vehicles attempting to get my license renewed. Since I’m trying to become more mature, I won’t tell you why I was stuck in the DMV for 5 hours. However, as a result of the epic saga that was the Leon Valley DMV, I…

You already know what’s going on around here, right? Well, if you’re just joining our band of misfits- welcome! To update you: my family and I are in the process of selling our home and moving to another city. But, man!!! Do I have an update for you! Our home was only on the market…
