Creamy Wild Mushroom Tart

This is the dish that I demoed earlier in the month at The New Year’s Brunch. It’s a pretty easy dish to create and so yummy to eat. It can either be an appetizer when cut into wedges or as an entree with a salad when cut into larger pieces. Before proceeding to I want […]

No Bake Caramel Apple Cheesecake

It can’t get any simpler than this. Diced apples, sugar, butter and cream with a layer of sweetened cream cheese and one of graham cracker crumbs.

Well with the weeks leading up […]

A Quickie…..Shashuka
