Apple Compote Parfaits Lighten up Dessert

Apple Compote Parfaits Lighten up Dessert

Tropical Pineapple Coconut Hamantaschen

Tropical Pineapple Coconut Hamantaschen
Tropical ingredients always seem to appear in home baked desserts at end of winter. It makes perfect sense.

Seasonal Snippet: Remarkable Rhubarb

Seasonal Snippet: Remarkable Rhubarb

Katy Morris Fruit or Veggie? When considering rhubarb most of us think of it a fruit. After all, we generally enjoy rhubarb in sweet dishes like pies, tarts, and cobblers.  Low and behold, rhubarb is indeed a vegetable – right there with celery, fennel, and asparagus. And it's time to welcome it as o...
