Apple Tarts
Charles isn’t really into desserts, but he loves apple desserts, so during the fall I make a point to prepare a variety of apple treats. This year I kicked off my seasonal baking with Apple Tarts. They are made with store-bought puff pastry, but Charles thought that I had made it from scratch. My husband […]

Strawberry Rhubarb Pie
Adding fresh rhubarb to my Mom’s strawberry pie recipe is a fun seasonal twist on a classic summer recipe. Rhubarb is slightly bitter, so it makes this pie less sweet.

Chocolate Silk Pie
