Pumpkin-Filled Cream Puffs with Maple-Caramel Sauce

3 Comments 14 November 2025

Cream puffs were always one of the more intimidating desserts to me. I think it’s a pastry thing - all pastry just looks hard to do. I think it’s fair to say that most of them are, but not these little beauts. They’re really similar to gougeres, but they’re the sweet version as opposed to […]

Plum Galette

No Comments 21 September 2025

This may sound a little sad to some, but I just ate my first fresh plum a few weeks ago. I don’t know why they never appealed before and I’ve no clue why they appealed at that time, but man am I hooked now. I’ve come to believe that we discover some things later than […]

Lemon-Mascarpone Icebox Tarts

2 Comments 20 June 2025

Oh, the joys of making a pastry dough, pressing it into a pan and filling it with yumminess. There’s no end to the possibilities of all the yumminess you can create. But did you know that you don’t even have to go to all the trouble of creating a pastry dough to make a tart? […]

Blueberry-Cream Cheese Hand Pies

7 Comments 18 May 2025

The cream cheese totally sold me, I admit it. I mean, we’re putting yummy blueberries together with sweetened cream cheese. It’s like the recipe creator shot up to the top of a mountain just to yell, “DUH!” and it echoed throughout the land. These are from Martha Stewart’s alternate food publication, Everyday Food - which, […]

Tarte Tatin

No Comments 07 October 2025

This week is sort of a Variation on Pies Week. First we did some cute little pie pops, and now we’ve studied the Tarte Tatin. And by studied, I do mean ate zealously. Looking through recipes as much as we have over the last year or so, and perusing way too many wonderful food blogs, […]

Pie Pops

5 Comments 05 October 2025

If you’ve got a few hours handy (well, depending on how many of these you make), it’s definitely time to invest in the next installment of FFA’s “pops” madness. I’m almost certain but maybe not certain that pie pops - tiny pies on lollipop sticks - originated at Luxirare. It’s the post most people seem […]

Fig Tarts with Mascarpone and Honey

4 Comments 07 September 2025

This is one of those totally-0n-a-whim, what-the-heck-was-I-thinking, oh-heck-let’s-create-a-recipe deals. Sis and I needed to come up with two recipes a couple of weekends ago to hold us over for the upcoming two weeks and I’d had my heart set on Key Lime with Graham Cracker Gelato. Trust me - I still have my heart set […]

Lemon Curd Tart

2 Comments 08 June 2025

This is likely to be the last dessert to even partially be baked in my kitchen for the summer. If you live in the Southern U.S., the most constant thing about our weather is the summer heat, which often pushes its way into Fall and, yes, even winter at times. But it’s getting a little […]
