We’re lightening up a bit this week for summer. This sweetly simple treat is easy to make and perfect for calorie-conscious dessert lovers. For all the flavor and texture it has, there is little fat involved. Served with some fresh fruit or even a bit of frozen yogurt, this ‘cookie’ could be a great alternative […]
Are you ready for the holidays? I adore the holiday season. It is an absolute sensory overload for me. The sights, smells, and sounds are distinct and often tied to a memory that warms the heart. Of course, the tastes are high on my list of sensory experiences that make the holidays what they are. […]
Our July focus for Treat of the Week continues with this ice cream offering. Today we are giving you two treats in one. In order to make this ice cream, you will need a batch of CrispyThin Snickerdoodles. Fortunately, we have included that recipe, too. Snickerdoodles are one of my favorite cookies. Some folks like them a bit […]
Banana pudding is one of my favorite desserts. For me, comfort food usually comes in a savory form. This is about as close to sweet comfort food as you can get.

Hello, Fall! Good to see you again, old friend. This week we welcome fall with open arms. The weather has finally changed for good. It is still significantly warmer here in Dallas than where I grew up for this time of year, but cooler nonetheless. The signs are not quite as clear as in those […]
I’m impatient. There, I’ve said it. No matter how I try, it is one of the things I must continually try to improve. I will say that I have become more patient with age, but not nearly patient enough. At this time of year, my impatience is abundant. I simply cannot wait for fall. I […]
