Chili Crisp Baked Feta

This Chili Crisp Baked Feta is really good. It's a little bit spicy, salty, and delicious! Once out of the oven, it gets a drizzle of hot honey. If you've never had hot honey then you are missing out. I love it on pepperoni pizza.

Disney Molasses Crackle Cookies

I don't normally bake, but I decided these cookies would put a smile on Santa's face on Christmas eve. (They did in fact do just that!) These Disney Molasses Crackle Cookies are from Disney's Wilderness Lodge at Walt Disney World Resort. The cookies are sweet and a little bit spicy from the ground ginger, cinnamon, and cloves and perfect to have while watching a classic Disney film.

Almond Ricotta Cake

This Almond Ricotta Cake is a traditional Italian dessert that originated in Sicily. It's soft, light, delicate, and absolutely divine. The almond flour makes it gluten-free and perfect for breakfast, brunch or dessert!

Cheesy Hasselback Potato Gratin

Who doesn't love a cheesy potato gratin? This Cheesy Hasselback Potato Gratin has creamy, layered potatoes that are baked to become crispy browned on top. It's a recipe where Hasselback potatoes meet gratin. The potatoes are thinly sliced and put in the casserole dish vertically, which creates way more crispy edges.

Peach Parfait with Salted Graham Cracker Crumble

When peaches are in peak season during the summer, I like to serve them for dessert. I made this Peach Parfait with Salted Graham Cracker Crumble. I have to say the salted graham cracker crumble is so good I could eat it on everything! You could also serve this with ice cream instead of whipped cream.

Leek and Potato Soufflé With Ham and Fontina

I made this Leek and Potato Soufflé With Ham and Fontina. We have made Gruyère Cheese and Chive Soufflé for over 32 years. This leek and potato version is less of a soufflé and more of a fluffy potato dish. The leeks and ham elevated the flavor of the potatoes. If you’re afraid of making a soufflé, this is a good place to start. The potatoes make it less delicate, so it’s less likely to fall.

Apple Tart with Rosemary & Honey Syrup

This Apple Tart with Rosemary & Honey Syrup is easy to make with frozen store-bought puff pastry. The rosemary-infused honey drizzled on at the end really adds complexity to this simple tart.

Dates Stuffed with Goat Cheese and Wrapped in Bacon

These Dates Stuffed with Goat Cheese and Wrapped in Bacon are one of my favorite hors d'oeuvres. I love the sweetness of the dates with the saltiness of the bacon which all come together with the tangy goat cheese. I assemble them earlier in the day ready for the oven later.

Chicken & Broccoli Braid

I had some leftover pizza dough, so I made this Chicken & Broccoli Braid. You can customize this to suit your taste. For instance, you could use tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, basil... The next time I make this I am going to use puff pastry, you can also use crescent roll dough from the market.

Hot Corn Dip

This Hot Corn Dip is from Celebrate with Babs, by Barbara Costello, 2022. I have to say, it didn't last long, it's so good. You can make it ahead and put it in the oven before serving. I divided it into 2 separate casserole dishes, which worked well.
