In fact, it’s been raining for more than a week, and another week — the one in which I presume we’ll be introduced to our new mosquito overlords — is promised. How to Make a Rose Apple Tart. I love pie.
Love it. LOVE it. For flavor, it can't be beat, in my opinion. No finer dessert around. But even I have to admit it has a more humble, rustic appearance than a fancy cake.

Deep Dish Fruit Pizza. My sister-in-law Missy first introduced me to the concept of fruit pizza years and years ago, and here’s how: she brought one to my house and I proceeded to eat the whole thing.
But it was small. And I was nursing. My mammary glands made me do it. I whipped up a whopper of a fruit pizza a couple of weeks ago using my good ol’ standby sugar cookie recipe…and it was so darn good in such a naughty, naughty way. Feel free to halve the recipe below and press into a smaller pan, or just split the full recipe in half and roll out two thinner pizzas.
This is one of those fun, throw-together treats that’s perfect for everything from a slumber party to a baby shower. Sorry I said mammary glands. The Cast of Characters: my sugar cookie dough (recipe below), marshmallow creme, cream cheese, peaches, kiwi, blueberries…and whatever other fruit you’d like!

Healthier cranberry crumble bars I am back after not having my computer for a few days…….a bit of a frustrating time……..none the less I still was able to bake away :-) I made these cranberry crumble bars and let me tell you, they were sensational.

Apple- Cranberry Pie with Oatmeal Cookie Crust. Strawberry Kiwi Fruit Leather. Maddy has been on a “fruit roll-ups” kick lately.
Not the actual name brand kind that I so vividly remember peeling away from a cellophane wrapper when I was a kid. No, Maddy’s been eating the Gerber toddler kind. I don’t feel too bad about her eating them in moderation although if she had her way she would eat the entire box of 5 in one sitting. So the other day while at my in-laws house, my mother-in-law said “I can’t believe you haven’t tried making these from scratch yet.”
That’s all it took… Guess what I did the very next day? The other brilliant and wonderful thing about homemade fruit leather is you can make it with hardly any sugar! Just ask Maddy! Enjoy!

Orange and Dark Chocolate Biscotti – Baking a Difference with OXO and Cookies For Kids’ Cancer. Happy National Cookie Day!
Did you know this was a thing, and just didn’t tell me? If so, shame on you. But if you’re pleasantly surprised, like I am, then let’s do our best to make the most of this day, starting with baking and eating lots. And lots. Of cookies. Cookie season is perhaps my favorite time of year. Julie and I filmed this back in October when she came to visit. If you want the recipe for the Meyer Lemon and White Chocolate Biscotti we make in the video, hop on over to The Little Kitchen, and Julie will hook you up. Considering this was the first time I’d actually ever made biscotti, it may surprise you that I really do love it. Personally I believe all cookies should carry such a characteristic. Biscotti are by nature very sturdy cookies (their crunchy texture comes from the fact they are baked twice; in fact, biscotti literally means twice-baked), and they are perfect for shipping or gifting.
