When you can’t decide between apple pie or cheesecake… why not have both? This dessert is a twist on classic cheesecake bars that’s both easy to make and welcome at any potluck! Plus, it’s a great way to use up any leftover apple pie filling you might have… somehow I always end up having a…
We have quite a few mango lovers in the family, so I’ve had my fair share of sampling various mango products over the years. Looza mango nectar is one of those things I’m kind of confused about, though. It’s so thick that I’d hardly want to down a glass of it, as is, yet it’s…
Thai-style rolled ice cream is a recent food fad that’s finally hit Atlanta! Several of these little cafes have opened in recent months, the newest one on Buford Highway just this past weekend.

First day of Fall is tomorrow…. goodbye summer. Summer reminds me of camping with the family, fishing for trout, making s’mores over the fire, and watching the sun set over the lake/beach/mountains. No bonfires this year, but I can still toast my marshmallows over the stovetop flame (on a piece of wire clothes hanger) and…
These brownies are always a crowd-pleaser. Part cheesecake, part brownie – the best of both worlds. I’ve made them several times for various events, and everyone loves them! (Unless they’re not chocolate fans. Which is another issue altogether…) I found inspiration for my recipe from Ina Garten’s “Outrageous Brownies” (the secret ingredient: coffee!). Don’t worry,…
