Affogato Mocha

February 14, 2018 By Angela Olson Matthews 1 Comment · Print recipe ·

I was looking for an easy dessert with chocolate and ice cream. Affogato Mocha is a typical Italian way to enjoy ice cream. The ice cream is drowned in espresso and another liquid topping. I chose rum as my other liquid. It is simple and refreshing. Serves: 4 Prep Time: 15 minutes Bake Time: None…

Almond Cake

December 8, 2017 By Angela Olson Matthews 2 Comments · Print recipe ·

This Almond Cake recipe is from David Lebovitz. I have made it in the food processor, I have made it partly in the food processor and in a stand up mixture with the paddle attachment, depending on where I am making it. It stores beautifully and just gets better. David says you can freeze it…

Gingersnap Pudding Cake

November 10, 2017 By Angela Olson Matthews Leave a Comment · Print recipe ·

Sweet warm spices, like cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and allspice give this and many other baked goods their unmistakable aroma. I toasted the ground spices in a frying pan for a more complex flavor. I had leftover gingersnaps so I put them to good use by making this Gingersnap Pudding Cake. I used a soufflé dish…

Lemon Mousse

November 4, 2017 By Angela Olson Matthews 2 Comments · Print recipe ·

  I made this Lemon Mousse for friends after a PEI mussel meal (See Mussels with Chorizo recipe). I wanted something fresh and light. This was perfect! I have served it in individual martini glasses as well as a soufflé dish, both worked equally as well. In fact, we liked it so much that when…

Gingersnaps

October 6, 2017 By Angela Olson Matthews 2 Comments · Print recipe ·

I love these  homemade Gingersnaps. I like them soft on the inside and crispy around the edges. I like them with a cup of tea, I love them with a glass of milk, I especially like them in a snowstorm. The last time I made them, I was testing recipes with a dear friend. She…

Crepes with Orange Sauce

September 22, 2017 By Angela Olson Matthews Leave a Comment · Print recipe ·

I have always loved crepes, sweet or savory. This Crepes with Orange Sauce recipe is one of my favorites. You can make the crepes ahead of time (the batter is better if it sits overnight in the refrigerator) and the orange sauce is really quick and easy. If you add a scoop of vanilla ice…

Baba au Rhum Cake

This Baba au Rhum Cake has become the birthday cake of choice. It takes a little time to make but the reaction on everyone’s face when they take that first bite is worth every minute! It is a yeast cake, that is soaked in a rum sauce, make sure you use every drop. I serve it…

Rustic Peach Galette

August 4, 2017 By Angela Olson Matthews Leave a Comment · Print recipe ·

The first thing I remember learning how to make is pie dough. I love making pies, but, if you are pressed for time, the Rustic Peach Galette is a quick alternative to a pie. The galette tastes like a pie without the top crust, and I love the rustic look.  You can change the filling…

Orange Cookies

July 28, 2017 By Angela Olson Matthews Leave a Comment · Print recipe ·

I have tried other orange cookie recipes, my mistake! This is Mom’s Orange Cookies recipe. They are a really soft, light cookie with just the right amount of orange flavor. The ingredients for this recipe are written exactly the way Mom gave it to me, I love that part. Did I tell you they are…

Shortbread Cookies

July 14, 2017 By Angela Olson Matthews Leave a Comment · Print recipe ·

Who doesn’t love shortbread cookies? A little crunchy, a little buttery with a drizzle of 60% Cacao Bittersweet Chocolate. The little surprise in this cookie is the almond paste, oh, so subtle. They are delicious with a glass of milk or a cup of tea. Makes: about 20 cookies Prep time: 15-20 minutes Chill time:…
