apple dappy from Cinnamon, Spice, & Warm Apple Pie: Comforting Baked Fruit Desserts for Chilly Days

Aside from the great name (apple dappy apple dappy apple dappy), this is a very tasty recipe. It's easy to put together. It tastes sort of like a cobbler, but in the form of a dessert roll. I'd suggest... read more >

Blueberry Crumb Bars

Pretty easy to make. I've given up on using a pastry blender and just use my hands to make the crumbs, and it works so much better. I think I added a bit too much lemon, but otherwise they were excellent.

Storing them in the fridge, as suggested, works fine, but they are slightly better at room temp

Pina Colada Cake

A very moist cake, lots of coconut and pineapple flavor. It's not difficult to make, and came out really well.
It uses about half a can of cream of coconut, so there's still some left so you can make your pina coladas.

Shaved Asparagus Pizza

Yum! I forgot the scallions, but it was excellent anyway. A nice change of pace. I can definitely see trying some other cheeses.

I made this with Whole Foods pre-made pizza dough, and homemade mozzarella.

I found I needed a lot more flour than called for - probably due to overly juicy berries. These were great right out of the oven. Somehow, I kept expecting them to be like scones but they were light and definitely biscuit-y. Not too sweet either.

They do not keep well, as she says in the recipe. Better to eat them all right away!

Strawberry Summer Cake

Really easy and very tasty! I'm sure I will be making this again during this great strawberry season.

Tomato and Corn Pie

I have been obsessed with trying this recipe, and unfortunately it did not live up to my hopes. It was a lot of work (peel and seed the tomatoes, make the crust, shred the cheese, etc.) and the end result just didn't merit it. Maybe I was too light on the herbs or the cheese, but it just came out bland.

I loved the biscuit crust. I wish I liked the end result more.

Warm butternut squash and chickpea salad

This was good. Nice flavors, good texture.

I wasn't sure what to serve it with, and on it's own it seemed to miss something. It seems kind of heavy to be a side dish, so I'm still at a loss.

It was actually even better for lunch the next day. I think it will be a great salad to bring to a pot-luck.
