I don’t do desserts often as I have to be careful with sugar but these are delectable and low on carbs without the white flour! In this recipe, I used coconut flower with the main binder being the eggs and Nutiva red palm organic shortening. I love the Nutiva brand; if you have not tried it you really must if not for the sheer health factor for the taste and versatility of their products. This shortening is ideal for pie crusts, biscuits and cookies.  You can use whatever dark chocolate you wish. I try to use something at least in area of 60% Cocao or higher, the espresso gives this soft cake like cookie a richness I love without all the guilt. My whole family loved these and I hope you do too.

pcookiefinalMy daughter wanted me to make her a pretzel chocolate chip something for her Birthday cake this year. I looked at her and said “What?”  She has been on Pinterest  (what else) and saw these amazing chocolate chip cookie cakes but wanted me to make it crunchy. Well, lucky for her, the kind people at Pretzel Crisps® were nice enough to send me a variety of flavors to choose from but I think for this one I will go with Original.

Everyone is going pumpkin crazy so I thought I’d better get a move on and make something yummy before the season passes me by! This month has flown by. Myself, I am ready for the cooler weather, the leaves falling and the cool breezes through the bedroom window.  With this season comes some of my favorite flavors: caramel, apples, pumpkin and cranberry.  I love all the goodies that come together with these fall flavors and today I made one that I hope you love as much as my family did. They are super simple and I know you will want to make them again and again.

Being from New Jersey, I feel eclairs are their own food group along with pasta and almond rings(Next on my list!). Being that there is no bakery here in Murphy that makes genuine Northern eclairs or cream puffs, I have taken this offense as a personal challenge. Let me tell you… the first attempt at the dough was a FLOP!! I could toss it in the yard like a frisbee as I thought this has to be wrong and added more flour!! Well…   Silly me did not follow Nonna’s recipe correctly and to the letter. Shame on me!!  But the second attempt was a success! They were light and fluffy and the cream was perfection. I took one shortcut and that was the chocolate cream which I am so glad I did as I do not think I could have duplicated the sheer delight that was this topping!

I had a hankering (is that a word?) for cobbler. But I didn’t just want any old cobbler. I wanted a mixed fruit, so I dug up my favorite recipe and looked at what fruit I had available. I came up with peaches and nectarines from the farmers market, fresh picked blueberries from a friends garden and pomegranate juice which I seem to be in love with right now.  On a hot day like today, we had to have some vanilla ice cream to go with it as well. Let’s just say someone else went out for that, I have a cobbler to make!
