Gluten-Free Chocolate Tart
This chocolate tart is one of my all-time top five desserts. It’s easy to make, rich and satisfying, and absolutely stunning to serve.

I’m an over buyer, especially as to milk and paper towels. I use my blinker like a Driver’s-Ed instructor. I can’t stand loud restaurants. And my […]
Pistachio-Crusted Cod
I am enjoying the cold weather. I am. It’s fun to bundle up in hats and gloves and puffy jackets and venture out with the stroller for a walk. But at the same time, I am already thinking about summer. About my second-favorite place on earth: Port Aransas, Texas. (Austin is my first favorite, if […]
