These truffles are quick and easy to make and will look beautiful in a bowl on your Easter table. Or, put some into a pretty egg carton to give as an Easter gift. 

I've been debating getting rid of our microwave. Full disclosure: I'm not even sure why we even have one in the first place.

Pound cake got its name because the cake was originally made with a pound each of butter, sugar, eggs and flour.

After visiting Moore Manor Lavender in nearby Newport, Maine to shoot an episode of my TV show Welcome to my Farm a couple of years ago and talking with Peggy, the owner, about all the ways to use lavender in cooking and baking, I just knew I had to bake something with the culinary lavender I bought while we were there.

These Maple Walnut Truffles are super quick and easy to make, but they look so elegant on a holiday dessert table. 

Far easier to make than it looks, this elegant pumpkin spice cheesecake is perfect for the holidays

I originally found the recipe in a magazine (for the life of me I can't remember which one) about fifteen years ago. After it was a big hit one Thanksgiving, I started making it a holiday tradition.

This rustic apple cake is a variation of a cake I made this past fall as my very first entry into a cooking contest! I didn't win the contest, but this recipe is definitely a winner! 

Today is my birthday. It's also our wedding anniversary. (Yes, my husband planned that right, so he only has to remember one date!)

Ironically, this is the first time in a couple of years that I'm actually home to celebrate.

This delicious Christmas-themed cheesecake is a variation on my Pumpkin Spice Swirl Cheesecake and sure to be a show stopper at your holiday celebration! 

We raised horses for many years. That meant we always had carrots on hand. And what better way to use carrots than in a delicious, spiced carrot cake!

This is one of my favorite cupcake recipes, not only because they're delicious, but because I use all natural ingredients to create a pale pink confection perfect for a baby shower or engagement party, a Mother's Day brunch or a little girl's birthday party. 

My husband's birthday is in July and since he's not a big fan of cake, I often make a Classic Tiramisu instead for him. He loves it, and I love that I don't need to turn on the oven in the middle of the summer heat. Tiramisu is THE ultimate no-bake summer dessert!

I was asked to bring a cheesecake to a friend's house this year for Easter.  My friend even texted me a raspberry cheese cake recipe she found on epicurious.com for 'inspiration'.
