Apple Cobbler (Gluten Free)I had enjoyed apple cobbler most of my life and used the simple recipe that called for a cup of self rising flour, a cup of sugar, a cup of milk and a stick of butter and sliced apples. Since I can no longer have wheat flour, I had to adjust the recipe to make it gluten free by using gluten free flour. It is good and my family loves it too. It also freezes well for later. I freeze it in serving sizes.
Chocolate Covered KumquatsDark chocolate is extremely healthy but not as appetizing as a sweeter or milk chocolate. So I've been melting mine and rolling kumquats, berries or even apple slices in it then freezing them for treats that satisfy my cravings while being healthy too. Easy and fast!

Baked Peach HalvesIn our area, peaches are out of season, however, you can still buy them in the grocery store. They are hard and not good for putting in a paper sack to ripen. I don't know where they are coming from but they will soon be gone. I was not planning to buy any more. My daughter brought some home from the grocery store. I decided to try baking them and they came out so good, we had them 3 nights in a row. Next time I go to the grocery store, I will be buying peaches if they still have them.

Vegan Strawberry MousseThis is a super easy-to-make mousse that is vegan. I used packets of Splenda for the sweetener, but you could use sugar, stevia, or honey as substitutes. This is a nice, guilt-free treat!

Being stranded in a place with almost nothing like books, computer, or internet literally feels like I'm in a dungeon. Good thing I still have this no bake recipe wherein I won't need my oven or my mixer.
Soft Butterscotch Bars with Salted CaramelI have tried making caramel several times, but never did I make it perfect. After few times of trying, I discovered a simple trick. Double boiling is safer than putting it in direct heat and today I was able to make my caramel perfect. With a little salt it tasted really yummy.
Avocado and Sweet Potato BrowniesI changed a recipe that was shared to me on Facebook. The original recipe states it's a delicious healthy brownie and I wanted to try it. I didn't have maple syrup or coconut milk so I just substituted those with what I had on hand and added a little sugar for more sweetness. I also added pecans which gives it a nice crunch.

Flaky Pastry and Cream TowerIf you look in the clearance sections of major grocery stores, you'll find they will place baked goods there for less than half price at the end of the day. Mine sells half a dozen large croissants for $2 after 5pm. They're great when toasted, but my secret trick is to roll them out, cut them into discs, and turn them into a flaky pastry dessert. This tower of delight tastes like the most elegant Palmier cookies layered with fresh fluffy whipped cream. You just would not guess these are old croissants. This is a crowd-pleasure, no doubt!

Apple Banana FrittersI came up with this the other day when I couldn't decide if I wanted apple or banana fritters. I mixed them together and fell in love with the end result! I mashed the banana into the fritter batter, then dunked apple slices in it before I fried them up. The apple is cooked but still has a nice crisp texture around the edges, and the banana gives the dough a lovely smooth comfort. Delicious!
Japanese Jiggly CheesecakeThis is called Japanese Jiggly Cheesecake because it actually jiggles like crazy when it comes out the oven. It's like a cross between an angel food cake and a pound cake, with a lightly sweet cheesecake flavour. In Japan, this is more widely known as a soufflé cheesecake, and has been around for decades.

These came out SO yummy and there was very little work involved.
Lemon Lime PopsiclesA refreshing treat any time of the year! This recipe was based off one I found online for lime popsicles. I changed the recipe slightly to make them a little more mild.

Raspberry Brie PastriesA local restaurant has homemade croissants that they serve with brie and jam and they inspired me to make this version with refrigerated crescent rolls. I brought these to a weekend brunch. Everyone loved them.
Avocado Chocolate Mousse (Vegan)One of the best ways to see if your vegan dessert is successful is to give it to someone who is not vegan, don't tell them it's vegan, and see how they like it. This vegan chocolate mousse got rave reviews from everyone I've given it to. When they realize the star ingredient is avocado, they can't believe it.
Baked Pineapple BreadThis sweet treat is very similar to a bread pudding but it has no dairy, nor is it too custardy. It's mostly made out of leftover cubed bread and chunks of pineapple. It works great as a breakfast treat, with mid afternoon tea, or for dessert.
Luscious Raspberry Whipped CreamRaspberry whipped cream is not only delicious, the red tones will make for a beautiful topping for your desserts this season.

Here is how to make a thick and creamy berry whipped cream very quickly with a food processor.
