Neapolitan Cheesecake

This Neapolitan Cheesecake starts with a chocolate brownie crust, a layer of vanilla cheesecake, and a layer of strawberry whipped cream... and it's topped off with a glorious coating of chocolate ganache.

This Neapolitan cheesecake reminds me of my childhood. The only dessert my dad ever really wanted was ice cream, and his two favorite flavors were rocky road and neapolitan, which we all called "pink, brown, and white." Neapolitan ice cream had a permanent space in our family freezer.

Ballpark Pretzels

These Ballpark Pretzels, fresh from the oven, will satisfy your craving for the chewy, pull-apart, salty pretzels you can get at a baseball stadium.

 I predict that, if you have about six people over for game day, and you serve these pretzels fresh from the oven, the pretzels will disappear in about five minutes.

Gougères: French Cheese Puffs

Gougères are a crispy, cheesy, custardy, and airy French appetizer, often served with kir or a glass of champagne at a cocktail party, before dinner, or at a fête pâtissier.

Gougères are a cheesy appetizer made with a choux pastry, which is a mixture of water, butter, flour, and eggs. They are crispy on the outside and airy on the inside... and so good!

Ground Flaxseed Bread | Pane di Lino

This ground flaxseed bread captures the nutty flavor of flaxseeds in a light and airy sandwich bread.

This flax bread includes about 1/4 cup of milled flaxseeds, as well as a little bit of wheat bran. The flavor of this bread is exceptional, and the texture is light and airy.

Oatmeal Blueberry Bread

This Oatmeal Blueberry Bread is one of my new favorite breakfast breads.

This oatmeal blueberry bread is also my new favorite bread that incorporates oatmeal. I know I probably say this about every new bread I make, so take my hyperbole with a grain of salt.

Pimentón Potted Shrimp

This Pimentón Potted Shrimp reminds me of pâté or rillettes. It's very rich, and is so delicious spread on crackers or crostini.

This pimentón potted shrimp is really nice to have on hand for cocktail parties, big game days, and any other occasion where you need something to satisfy hungry guests.
