It doesn’t take much to get me excited about a recipe when maple is one of the ingredients. I’m from Michigan where maple trees are aplenty which means lots of maple products such as syrup and fudge to name a few. In this cookie recipe there is maple syrup and maple extract in the dough … Continue reading
Cannolis are creamy and chocolate and so easy to make (if you buy the shells or in this case cones). This recipe is very similar to Canolis With Chocolate Chips Two Ways. The big difference is using sugar cones which come in different flavors instead of the traditional cannoli wrap. I added melted espresso chocolate … Continue reading
This is my all-time favorite ice cream I always enjoy at Baskin-Robbins Ice Cream Stores. Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream was one of the original 31 flavors when Baskin-Robbins first opened stores in 1945. In 2022, 77 years later it is still one of their most popular flavors. It is an American multinational chain of … Continue reading

Blueberries are sweet right now and a perfect time to make this dessert. Stock up on them and freeze for later use. A lot of recipes (like this one) call for fresh or frozen berries. Nothing worse than a tasteless blueberry in the winter time! An 8-inch square pan is filled with a buttery graham … Continue reading

Did you know there are three flavors of mini phyllo shells you can use depending on your filling? Yes, you can not only buy the regular phyllo shells, but gingerbread and chocolate.

I first made some simple almond cookies back in the 1980’s after taking my first Chinese cooking class taught by Christine Liu. These cookies often appeared as a dessert after making one of her Chinese dishes. I really liked the idea of kicking them up a notch with some seasonal spices (you know cinnamon, nutmeg … Continue reading
