Coconut Cream Pie

Mar 14, 2014 | By Melissa

Dear High School Algebra, Thank you for introducing me to the number π. And thank you for letting me convert that number into a reason to eat dessert (as if I needed another excuse). Love, Melissa … That’s right! It’s 3/14 again, Pi(e) Day! I really struggled in trying to decide what kind of pie […]

Decadent Chocolate Mousse

Feb 20, 2014 | By Melissa

I just had to share this dessert with you (even though I have posted nothing but sweets this whole month—I promise I’m not actually eating this much sugar all the time). Chocolate mousse is my all-time most craved dessert at this time of year. Yes, I know mousse is passé. No, a dessert practically named […]

CSA Week 19: Pumpkin-Apple Bread Pudding

Oct 14, 2013 | By Melissa

Folks…this recipe and I did not play nicely together. Truly, it wasn’t the recipe’s fault! (And don’t stop reading, because this bread pudding is extremely delicious, I promise, and I will eventually tell you about it!) I think I may have lost my mojo or something. For weeks now, almost everything I lay my hands […]

Mini Cherry Clafoutis

Jun 17, 2013 | By Melissa

Did you know that the English word cherry is actually the result of a misunderstanding? That’s right. Back in the thirteenth century when we were stealing all kinds of words from French (ahem), those Anglo-Saxons heard the French word cherise (modern French cerise) and assumed it must be plural! In fact, it wasn’t…but we hacked […]

Peanut Butter Cream Pie

Mar 14, 2013 | By Melissa

Happy Pie Day! If you’re scratching your head right now and wondering what Pie Day is, just drag yourself back to your high school algebra classes and think, “3.14.” I love any day whose chief celebration involves making dessert. This year for Pie Day, I bring you a simple treat that only takes about 20 […]

Vanilla Bean Risotto Pudding

Feb 27, 2012 | By Melissa

Guess what? I joined a club. The Secret Recipe Club! Sounds impressive, doesn’t it? Basically how this works (er…a fanciful version of how this works, anyway) is that every month, every blogger in the club draws a different blog out of a hat and then makes a recipe from that blog. It’s like finding a […]
