Peppermint Bark

November 25, 2022 by Debbie 19 Comments

Peppermint Bark is a Christmas candy with a layer of dark chocolate then creamy white chocolate . The top is dusted with refreshing minty candy canes, this is the taste Christmas . The one candy I look forward to every holiday season is peppermint bark. Once of my favorites is the one Ghirardelli makes but over the years it has gotten a little pricey. It occurred to me I could totally make this using their melting wafers. Let me be the first to tell you this is just as good and you get a big bag of this candy but a fraction of the cost . This candy would be perfect for gift giving or even a hostess gift for holiday parties. If you like this recipe give these Dark Chocolate Mint Cookies a try.

Peach Galette

July 11, 2022 by Debbie 19 Comments

This rustic Peach Galette is packed full of summer goodness . Easier than a pie but just as delicious served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Galettes are just free form tarts that are so much easier than a pie . As long as the edges are folded in and pinched to hold in all of the yumminess you are good. You can go through the trouble of making your own dough but I find the already made pie crust works beautifully for this recipe . If you would rather make a peach pie feel free to check out my Fresh Peach pie.

Easy Peach Cobbler

June 5, 2022 by Debbie 1 Comment

This easy peach cobbler recipe is buttery and rich, a cross between a cobbler and pie. It’s amazing served warm with ice cream anything time of the year. This is my take on a classic cobbler recipe made with Bisquick. Over the years I have made hundreds of peach cobblers and honestly there isn’t one I don’t like. While I adore cobblers made with a pie like crust this is how I grew up eating cobblers. My mother loved easy and did not mess with making a pie crust let alone a large crust for a cobbler. If you love cobblers check out my Easy Blackberry cobbler .

Watergate Salad

April 26, 2022 by Debbie 16 Comments

Watergate salad is a fluff made with pistachio pudding, whipped topping and packed with pecans , pineapples and marshmallow. Growing up on the 1970’s this was a staple at our house at every summer cook out all the way to our holiday tables. If it was a more formal occasion this went into a nice serving bowl , if it was a less formal occasion it came straight out of the fridge onto the table. Literally no occasion was complete without this green fluff. It is more like a dessert and that is how I serve it now but back then we mixed in with the side dishes. I guess in the 1970’s we tried to convince ourselves that is was a salad and could be served as a side, lol. Over the years we have made many different “salads” like my Pina Colada Fluff.
