Butternut Squash Tart with Fried Sage
My very talented daughter Zoe made this Butternut Squash Tart with Fried Sage. It's drizzled with honey that has been infused with red Thai chile. It's sweet and spicy which become a match made in heaven. It's topped with crispy fried sage leaves straight from her herb garden.

Tomato, Bacon Tart with Blue Cheese & Gruyère
While rummaging through my kitchen to make something for dinner, I came up with this Tomato, Bacon Tart with Blue Cheese & Gruyère. It is kind of like a pizza, except the crust is flaky, buttery, crumbly puff pastry that you can serve as a meal with a green salad or as an appetizer cut into smaller pieces. Also, you can substitute any kind of cheeses and fresh herbs you like.

Raspberry Rhubarb Crostata
I know I am very lucky to have daughters who bake. This Raspberry Rhubarb Crostata is one Zoe made from Ina Garten. She actually used a combination of raspberries, strawberries and rhubarb. What I like about it is that the crust is very forgiving and free-form.
- Yields: 6 - 8 Servings
Pineapple Upside-Down Cake
I just had a tour of the Jiffy Mix factory in Chelsea Michigan. I love Jiffy boxed mixes. I grew up eating them. There is something wonderfully old-fashioned about the packaging and the product. One of my favorite desserts to make is pineapple upside down cake. I use the golden yellow cake mix and add the pineapple juice from the canned pineapple instead of the water. It is simple and not a big deal to make. The only problem is finding the cake mix. I can usually only find the cornbread which I also love.
