Vanilla Macarons with Chocolate Ganache

Macarons are my favorite cookie on earth! In 2015, I was able to sample several macarons in Paris; the best being from Ladurée. These babies take patience and attention to detail and I’ve had several disasters before mastering the technique. They are the best after sitting for 24 hours prior to being served.

Pecan Pie Bars

Pecan pie is one of my dad’s favorite desserts so I decided to make these for father’s day. They were so delicious that I made them again the following week for a family reunion. They are buttery, nutty, and will quickly disappear.

Chocolate Almond Espresso Bars

A couple years ago we stayed at the Kingsleigh Inn ­in the Bar Harbour area of Maine. The owners Pamela & Bryan were such gracious hosts and the food they served was AMAZING. These bars were a favorite for me so I had to get the recipe. I’ve adapted it slightly.
