Famous Apple Hill Apple Cake
I’m posting one of my all-time favorite recipes today! The battle between this apple cake and an apple pie for Apple Week was brutal. A classic apple cake recipe from Apple Hill itself, which is published every year in their little map-tour booklet vs. the most iconic apple dessert of all time (in America anyway)?!?!…

Pumpkin Pie Spiced Ice Cream
Happy First Day of Fall!!!!!! Um, this is my favorite time of year. And I have been in Southern California for the past four years, and have sadly missed my Nor-Cal falls. I just think it’s a happy, peaceful, beautiful, cozy time, and I am so excited. Except really, in Sacramento, it’s…

Moscato & Cinnamon Poached Pears
I love this pretty little dessert! It’s beautiful and elegant, and very light. Plus way simpler than you’d think. You really just have to throw some things in a pot to simmer and peel some pears. Yes, it’s that easy.

You know that little scoop…

Chocolate Tofu Pudding
Alright, I’ve seen these recipes for pudding made with tofu for soooooo long and have always been too scared to try them. I don’t really know why. There’s nothing in them that I dislike. It just has kind of freaked me out a bit. But I decided it’s finally time. And although many…

Prosecco & Pear Granita Float
Fresly pressed pear juice and prosecco granita. Melting away in a glass of more bubbly prosecco. Lovely light summer dessert. Granitas are a perfect summer dessert. The process is simple: take some kind of liquid (juice, alcohol, coffee/tea, flavored simple syrups, or any combination of those things), and freeze it. But while it’s freezing,…
