Jamaican-Style Key Lime Bananas

Jamaican-Style Key Lime Bananas

And now for a Caribbean interlude. This post is inspired by my recent cruise to The Bahama Islands and Key West, Florida. Food, of course, was a highlight of my trip. One afternoon in Key West, I visited the famous Kermit’s Key West Key Lime Shoppe. True to its name, it featured Key lime EVERYTHING. That day I deviated from […]

Indian Rocks Beach Pie

Indian Rocks Beach Pie

  A while back I heard of a life-altering lemon pie by Bill Smith of Crook’s Corner. His Atlantic Beach Pie was resulting in “oh-my-gawd’s” that could be heard all the way from North Carolina. It was said that Smith’s Atlantic Beach Pie is the perfect blend of sweet and tangy with a salty crust that […]

Lime in the Coconut Cupcakes

Lime in the Coconut Cupcakes

A few weeks ago, we adopted an adorable Ragdoll kitten, Penelope.  In her honor, I baked some lovely coconut cupcakes with lime curd filling – sweet and tangy – just like our kitty!  This coconut cake recipe has been a favorite of mine since way back when, but this was the first time I incorporated […]

Old-Fashioned Apple Crisp

Old-Fashioned Apple Crisp

As far as I’m considered, it’s not Autumn until someone bakes Apple Crisp. Growing up, my mom would take us to Ritter’s Cider Mill as soon as the leaves started to change colors. We would feed the animals, sample the apple cider (and apple cider donuts) and buy bushels of Macintosh apples. This tradition would […]

Chewy Pineapple Squares

Chewy Pineapple Squares

Simple to make and oh-so-delicious — chewy pineapple squares are the perfect summer dessert. My baker-bud, Carolyn, gave me this recipe. Her mother makes these squares, and she has raved about this particular treat on more than one occasion. After whipping these up, I can honestly say that they are amazing in every way. They […]

Blueberry Platz

Blueberry Platz

Muffins move over.  I give you: Blueberry Platz. Every June, in the wooded area behind my childhood home in Pennsylvania, wild blueberry bushes would become full of plump, ripe berries ready for picking. On Sunday mornings, we would venture out and fill buckets and mixing bowls with  blueberries.  There was nothing more satisfying than hearing […]

Cherry Dabble Cake

Cherry Dabble Cake

This three ingredient dessert is so easy and quick to throw together.  Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream on top and you’ll want to eat the whole thing at once and then lick the pan – or maybe that’s just my husband, Christian. As mentioned in my previous post, my Hot Buttered Pretzels were […]

Tropical Ambrosia Salad

Tropical Ambrosia Salad

During my childhood, ambrosia salad was one of those dishes that popped up on a special occasion in the summertime.  This colorful, sweet salad was always a welcome surprise with it’s combination of fruit, coconut and (my favorite addition) marshmallows. Now that i’m living in the land of endless summers, I couldn’t wait to whip up this […]

Peanut Butter Tandy Cakes

Peanut Butter Tandy Cakes

Cake, peanut butter, and chocolate are oh-so-good together and just happen to be the major players in these yummy little cakes. “TastyKake” a company from Philadelphia, makes a version of these and I gobbled up quite a few of them growing up. Back then TastyKakes were only available in the northeast but have recently branched […]
