I was happy to see something relatively simple on this week’s Baked Sunday Mornings schedule. And Larry and I both love key lime pie. This is an interesting twist on the traditional key lime pie. I approve of the pretzel crust – it’s a little salty, and the flavor works really well with the tart [...]

My friend and neighbor Assana recently sent me an email consisting of just the link to the recipe for these beautiful little tartlettes. I responded that I had goat cheese, and Assana said she’d buy the figs if I’d make the tarts. And so it started. It took me a few days to get these [...]
Trust – I had to have a lot of it to make a tart that calls for canned pears. They’re doctored up with whiskey, though, soaking it up overnight. The rest of the tart is really simple to make. A sweet pastry for the crust, almond cream for the filling. Oh, and more whiskey in [...]
I had my doubts about this tart. Orange desserts are definitely not at the top of my list. I don’t drink soda and I’ve never been crazy about Creamsicles. Plus there are a lot of steps to putting the tart together. It needs time to chill at various points in the recipe and is probably [...]
My friend Kathy came into town today for a few days, so we get to spend some time in the kitchen. We’re great in the kitchen together, which is saying a lot considering how little space I actually have in my kitchen. I had already decided we were having these tasty chicken fingers with the [...]
This tart required malt powder and malted milk balls and lots of steps. It’s not something I would have picked out, but that’s why I love being a part of Baked Sunday Mornings, because it gets me to explore outside of my usual repertoire. None of the steps for the tart are difficult, there’s just [...]
As far as candy bars go, Almond Joy were always one of my favorites. This tart tastes exactly like an Almond Joy, so I loved it. Larry? Not so much. He’s not a picky eater at all, but coconut is definitely not one of his favorite things. The recipe makes six small tarts, perfect for [...]
Our neighbor Assana had a bunch of extra blueberries and I had a few Meyer lemons so I thought I’d make this really nice, refreshing tart. There’s a full recipe in The Pie and Pastry Bible, but I took bits and pieces from other sources. The lemon curd is my standard, perfect lemon curd recipe [...]
I always like to do some sort of Mexican food for Christmas Eve. This year, I chose a Mexican-style chili that I’ve wanted to make for a long time. Chili with pork shoulder is intriguing to me, and this one is nice because it’s just pork shoulder with a complex tomato-chili paste. – We served [...]
