The combination of orange and spices paired with dark chocolate makes these pretty cookies from Mary LaRock of Waukesha unique and delicious. Their interesting shape enhances any cookie platter.

This carrot cake is outstanding, moist inside and creamy on top, I have no coconut chips left, so I didn't sprinkle coconuts on top. The cake is just delicious, but you have to be careful of the pineapple and juice, don't use more than recipe says, otherwise the cake won't work.

These bite-sized treats are an irresitablet combination of sweet and savory, featuring a rich and aromatic mincemeat filling encased in a buttery, flaky crust. With their charming size and delightful taste, these tarts are sure to be a hit at your next gathering or as a festive dessert for your family.

Juicy chicken breast stuffed with cheese, shallots and cheese. The phyllo really helps hold in the moisture to keep the chicken breast moist. This is a reduced fat version of a popular recipe and it's equally as tasty in my opinion. If you wish to reduce the fat even further omit the cheese altogether.

Made these quiche tarts for Sean last week, and he absolutely loved these mini savoury tarts. I made my own biscuit baking mix (see the link below), and followed the recipe exactly. These tarts are good to freeze as well. Whenever feeling hungry, pop one or two into microwave. Definitely a keeper!

This cheesy and tasty sour cream mushroom quiche can be served as a main course or an appetizer.

Rich and creamy custard style pastry cream perfect for eclairs or any other dessert use. Part of the sugar is carmalized and it infuses a rich caramel flavor throughout the cream.

It's the season of Swiss chard and kale. We got lots of these fresh leafy greens from our CSA farm, and I was trying to come out an idea to use them up, surfing the internet, found a recipe in New York Times, it's a chard and feta phyllo tart. Definitely got the inspiration, I used both chard and kale, instead of feta, I used cheddar; and I sauteed some fresh mushrooms and added some toasted pine nuts, which worked very well. Also, I used a pie plate instead of a tart pan, and it was a great success, absolutely flavorful and delicious. The phyllo crust came out flaky and crispy. Have definitely become one of my signature recipes :)
