I recently did a series of video projects for Dreyer’s and Edy’s Ice Cream for their social media channels. Each video required three half-gallons of ice cream in order to produce the videos and the recipes in them. But, I only needed a few scoops per video, so I was left with a lot of […]

Rounding out the dessert in the Latin Dinner Party Series on YouTube is a spicy chocolate dessert. Chocolate with habanero? I promise, this recipe prescribes only a hint of the hot stuff so that it’s nice and warm, a little kiss of heat, but still completely enjoyable for most folks. The best part about this […]

This recipe has been tested and approved by real, live humans! I made this Strawberry Shortcake Cobbler four times in live demos at the Le Creuset store in Scottsdale, showing just how easy this beautiful dessert is to make.

You know those things that you sit and wonder, “how hard are those to make?” I never even asked that question in regard to marshmallows because I figured they were super complicated. Turns out, they’re not at all! On top of that, they taste a bazillion times better than store-bought, making this S’mores Blondie Recipe […]
