Dessert

I’m so so excited to share this recipe for Chocolate Swirled Zucchini Bread with you guys! We’ve been enjoying loads of fresh zucchini this summer, and there’s nothing easier and more delicious than grating some up and tossing it into a classic Zucchini loaf! For anyone who hasn’t been here…

Let me present the Black Forest Pavlova, the dessert I certainly didn’t know I needed this quarantine. But oh man was it good! (And even though eating our weight in sugar isn’t a healthy coping tool, sometimes it’s the best we can do…) Pavlova is a meringue based cake that…

Anyone ever had a sorbet sandwich before? I sure haven’t. But what I have had is sorbet in a waffle cone, and sorbet dipped in dark chocolate (Dove Raspberry Sorbet Dark Chocolate bars, I’m looking at you), and I absolutely loooove these flavors together. So with this inspiration in mind,…

Stone fruit seems to announce summer, doesn’t it? I found myself at the store the other day confronted with piles of fresh apricots and fresh sweet cherries and delightedly began loading my produce bags full, without any clear direction. But never fear, it just took one short car ride’s worth…

Never fear- the baby shower that I hosted this weekend went off without a hitch!  (However, I still need to get the photos processed and prepped for the blog). But in the meantime I can share one of the recipes from the dessert table – Old Fashioned Peanut Brittle! Peanut brittle…

Gluten Free Pumpkin Cupcakes: Because every food blogger is obligated to do at least one pumpkin spice recipe per fall season 😉 Seriously though.  While pumpkin spice may be overdone and PSL is item no.1 on the basic bitches guide to life, I’m just going to go out on a…

Two dessert recipes in a row?!  That’s what I’m talking about fellow Gourmet Gourmandians. If I had children I’d say these were a celebration treat for back-to-school. But I don’t.  And these were made for no other reason except for the I-wanted-cinnamon-sugar-in-my-belly-now reason. Which, for some people, might cause a little…
