Pecan Pie Muffins
The American Pie Council National Championships are about a month away and this year I get to be a judge! I can’t even tell you how excited I am for this honor.

Cuban Guava Pastries – Pastelitos de Guayaba
Of the many reasons that I love living in Florida, the authentic quality and diversity of world cuisines is close to the top of my cultural list.

Brigadeiros
Today is (yesterday was) chocolate caramel day! So obviously my perfect intentions for staying ahead of the game this year didn’t work out as perfectly as I’d hoped. Does anyone else have this problem? That’s okay – chocolate makes everything better, so let’s focus on that. Combine chocolate with caramel and you take “better” to…
