When life gives you left-over Salted Caramel Sauce, I say make pound cake! With fall teasing us in the Dallas area, the temperatures are fluctuating between 100 and 80, I find myself feeling very domestic. The cooler weather puts me in the mood to putter around the house organizing books, clearing out closets, and whipping [...]

It is that time of year. Fruit is starting to come into the market that looks fresh and ripe, the weather is warmer, and my thoughts turn to baking. I was at the market a few days ago and tucked behind a box of huge strawberries were these really beautiful blueberries. They were on [...]

I love savoury tarts. They are so nice for lunches, light dinners and are perfect for a brunch. What I love about a savoury tart, aside from how nice they are to eat, is how you can vary the fillings to suit your taste and what you have on hand. This tart was born out [...]
