Who doesn’t love a courgette? No, not the animals in the wild, nor the women out and about in a few hot Boulder bars (which will remain nameless — boys, message me later and I will point you in the right direction). No, none of the above. A courgette is another...

Gooood morning, Phoenix! Oh wait, I still live in Colorado. These temperatures are messing with my mind. I don’t know why I’m so over the heat this summer — we still have a long way to go. Perhaps it is that my dessert line has me in the kitchen 24/7, and baby...

It’s been an Applepalooza of a month. I can’t get away from the apple desserts. They have been requested for parties, picnics and potlucks. Sounds like a bad Food Network show, but no, it’s just where my creations have been showing up. This week, my friends, it is...

Happy trails, hit the trail, get along little doggie. Maybe that last one doesn’t apply, but I like it, so there. This week’s treat will sustain and satisfy: Cranberry Trail Mix Bread. Similar to banana-bread-minus-thebananas. It is chock full of cranberries (...

What is more American than apple pie, you ask? Maybe Sandra Bullock eating a piece of pie in some small town in Iowa whistling “She’s a Grand Ol’ Flag” ( Jesse James nowhere in sight). But nothing really compares to a good ol’ apple pie. With the Fourth right ...

So, summer is here, according to the calendar, with 90-degree temperatures and the chocolate slowly and surely melting in my cupboard. I guess back in the day Colorado homes didn’t need air conditioning. (So why would we need it now? So glad I fell for that one...

Turn off your ovens, people. The temperature is hot, and so are my desserts (yes, I complimented myself, whatever). Not this recipe, though. I’m saving on your electricity bill and making your life sweet all at the same time. No-Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Bars are a hot ...

And just like that, it’s legal to wear white pants again. Memorial Day has come and gone, and now starts my bevy of freshberry and no-bake desserts. Of course, it is also shorts season, so perhaps I will break out some low-fat, low-sugar, help-the-cellulite-...

In the powerful words of my musical muse Huey Lewis, “It’s hip to be square.” If Huey says so, then it’s good enough for me. You know, the ongoing tough decision. Bars or squares. This question can haunt a Dessert Diva in her sleep. Luckily, my love for bad ’80s ...

  Boy howdy, am I excited for some pan dowdy...

Well, my coffee dessert from last week was so delicious, I am breaking out another one this week. Please know this isn’t the Dessert Diva patting herself on the back (although I am flexible). This comes directly from you, my Boulder Weekly readers. The sweet ...
