Most crème brulee recipes call for caramelizing sugar on top of the custard. I love that, but the sugar is too much. So, in this case, I made up a simple strawberry sauce to go on the top instead.

Pears and chocolate go great together. Who needs candy apples when you've got these?

Chill in your refrigerator until ready to eat. If you are going to serve it the next day cover it with plastic wrap.

These are delightful little jellies. They taste so French and so fresh! Not like those little gum-balls you can buy at the candy store.

This is a quick cake that can be served at a party. You don’t need large pieces when something has as much flavor as this does. Pumpkin treats are a big hit in the Fall and over the holidays.

This cherry tart is so easy and it’s fancy enough to serve at a dinner party.

An easy-to-make, low-carb caramel sauce. Wowza!

This stuff is addictive and so refreshing. RARELY do I take seconds on a dessert. With this one I did.

This simple recipe is the latest from the Zola Test Kitchen. Try these! I got some really juicy tangerines (that were very easy to peel) at the grocery store yesterday.

These cookies are SOOOO good. And no flour! Just be careful what peanut butter you buy and be sure to order the sweetener ahead so you are prepared to bake and eat.

This pie comes together easily, and your family will never know they aren’t eating the usual pecan pie pile of sugar.

Most often a cheesecake like this has a crust made out of gingersnaps. I’m making mine this way and you’ll swear you’re eating a gingerbread crust without all the sugar.

I hope you will like this recipe as much as we did.

A ghoulish (and healthy) Halloween snack idea.

This gives you a crunchy bottom similar to a graham cracker crust.

Sinfully delicious...with only three ingredients.

The final product must be eaten right out of the freezer. They melt fast but they are a fun treat.

The parfait is a serious twist on a Cooking Light recipe I came across, so I need to give them credit but I also wanted you to know it's light and rather healthy.

Raspberry coulis is often used by dessert chefs to decorate your dessert at a restaurant. They put a swirl of it on your plate or maybe drizzle it over the top of the dessert. You can be fancy or plain as you wish.

I love this sauce over the inside out apple pie. YUM.
