Chocolate Caramel Tart
I made this Chocolate Caramel Tart and to say it's decadent is an understatement! No one could eat more than a sliver. The gooey caramel center really takes it over the top. If you happen to have a sweet tooth, you should try it. I also thought it would be good to chop it up and put it in ice cream, just to add to your caloric intake!

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

- Yields: 6 - 8 Servings
Toasted Almond Tart
After making this Toasted Almond Tart, I decided to change the recipe. Instead of chilling the dough and rolling it out, put the dough directly into the tart pan and press it evenly in with your hands. It's a very simple, but delicious tart.

- Yields: Makes 1 tart
Pear, Almond & Honey Phyllo Tarts
My daughter Zoe made these delectable Pear, Almond & Honey Phyllo Tarts. I usually have puff pastry in the freezer, but this time I had phyllo dough. You can make it with either. Puff pastry would actually be easier, but the phyllo is SO crispy and wonderful.
