Blackout Chocolate Banana Bread
This is what happens when banana bread meets chocolate! My daughter Zoe made this Blackout Chocolate Banana Bread. It's pretty spectacular and super moist and seriously delicious. Whole wheat flour lends a nuttiness to the cake, but feel free to replace it with more all-purpose if that’s what you have on hand. Thanks for bringing me a slice Zoe! Now, can you bring me another slice?!

Lemon Posset
A posset was originally a popular British hot drink made of milk curdled with wine or ale, often spiced, which was often used as a remedy. Shakespeare mentions possets several times in his writings. In the 16th century, the drink evolved into a cream, sugar and citrus-based confection, which is still consumed today as a cold set dessert.
This Lemon Posset is a cross between a lush pudding and a silky lemon curd, this amazing English specialty is made with just three simple ingredients - lemons, heavy cream, and sugar. The beauty is that I almost always have these 3 ingredients!

Bundt Pan Spice Cake with Sticky Toffee Sauce
I know this Bundt Pan Spice Cake with Sticky Toffee Sauce is a bit over the top sweet, but I made it anyway. The gooey toffee sauce kicks it up a notch with a shot of rye whiskey.

Zebra-Striped Shortbread Cookies
My daughter Zoe made these Zebra-Striped Shortbread Cookies, a wonderful combination of vanilla and chocolate shortbread! Each bite of these cookies has just the right amount of both. Stacking the dough in alternating colors and then smushing them into a roll is as easy as making shapes with Play-Doh. The method makes for a fancy-looking swirl that novices can succeed at too.

Quick Apple Tart
This Quick Apple Tart Recipe makes a rustic dessert recipe that everyone loves! Instead of using apricot jam, I found Apple Cider Jam from Trader Joe's, though apricot works too. You can serve it with ice cream, whipped cream, powdered sugar….
