Lavender Panna Cotta with Honey Poached Pears

October 20, 2013 18 Comments

Lavender Panna Cotta with Honey Poached Pears is an autumn twist on a classic Italian dessert. About a month ago, I had a fabulous dinner with some fellow bloggers at Oasis Cafe in Salt Lake City. It was a wonderful dinner and great introduction to a restaurant I hope to patronize over and over. As […]

Cacao Nib Pavlova with Balsamic Strawberries and Cream

February 14, 2013 8 Comments

I started out the day by giving each of my kids a list titled, “10 Things I Love About You.” Sadly they were much more interested in their peanut butter-filled chocolate hearts and getting to school to see their friends and exchange valentines. I can’t blame them, that was my favorite part of Valentine’s Day […]

Lavender Chocolate Pots de Creme for Valentine’s Day

February 11, 2013 8 Comments

One thing I forgot to mention about Alt is the lavender hot chocolate available between sessions.  As a great lover of all things lavender, I can’t believe I had never tried lavender-infused hot chocolate.  Lavender and chocolate are simply made for each other, and chocolate pots de creme is another perfect way to pair them.

Homemade Turtles

When I told my daughter we were going to make homemade turtles, she asked if they were going to have “feet and arms and a little head poking out.” She thought it was pretty great that we were going to make turtles out of chocolate and caramel. As I was getting ready to post this, […]

Valentine’s Treats: Cherry-Almond Divinity

Cherry Almond Divinity

My grandmother was the master divinity maker. Her divinity was heavenly. She would tint it pink and add chopped nuts, usually walnuts. It was always a treat. And I think of her every time I make a batch. I made my first batch years ago when I first got my KitchenAid mixer. It is still […]

Valentine’s Treats: Red Velvet Bonbons

February 2, 2009 29 Comments

I love Valentine’s Day. And I love making treats for Valentine’s Day. When I think of Valentine’s, my mind immediately turns to Chocolate Truffles. I adore truffles. For a few years, I’ve been trying to get up the courage to start working with chocolate. This year I decided to take the plunge and make my […]

Valentine’s Treats: Cream Filled Strawberries

January 29, 2009 27 Comments

A long time ago, my neighbor brought my family the most delicious treat – cream filled strawberries. Not only were they pretty, they tasted fantastic. I’ve looked all over trying to find a recipe that tasted just like my neighbor’s. The filling was made with sweetened cream cheese and stayed nicely piped inside the strawberry […]

How To Make Homemade Caramels

December 7, 2007 17 Comments

I originally posted this back in November of 2006, but I figured if you are a new reader, you may not have seen it, and it’s that time of year again! Every year my mom would make homemade caramels. If I was lucky, she would let me stir it while it cooked. I loved the […]
