Poppyseed Bars with Lemon Glaze






Poppyseed bars are made with a less sweet cake batter essentially, but you save half in the bowl, and first  put the sweet poppyseed cream on top, with the other half of the batter on top of that, then bake the whole thing.. follow me? Then these were glazed with lemon juice mixed with confectioner's sugar. If you're a poppyseed fan you will like these.

NY Chocolate Chip Cookies and Vanilla Ice Cream Sandwiches

These cookies are crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside and get quite puffy, as opposed to the crispy, gooey version. This cookie is great for Ice cream sandwiches.. which is just what we made, including the ice cream, of course! Perfect snack for those longer days, well perfect snack period.

Butterscotch-Brandy Pudding




This is the perfect 'adult' pudding, if you never grew out of the pudding phase during childhood, but who hasn't right? The brown sugar is cooked nice and dark to give a mild butterscotch flavor, and also making it less sweet, with a touch of brandy added at the end for an extra layer of flavor. Before serving, some homemade caramel sauce is poured on, sprinkles of fleur de sel, for the sweet-salty combination, and of course some fresh whipped cream on top.

Dark Chocolate Souffle Cake

This is the popular dark chocolate souffle cake. It is light as air, yet very flavorful and delicious. It only has six tablespoons of flour, but it has ten egg whites which makes it so light. Perfect for any occasion.
