Happy Thanksgiving!

Wishing each of you a Happy Holiday season as well as a Happy Thanksgiving!  As you finalize the menu and make those last minute grocery store runs please enjoy your hard work in putting together your feast!  I did want to offer one last dessert recipe if you need to make something tasty and easy.  One of my favorite is the all American Apple Pie.  This is a Pillsbury crust with some simple ingredients. One tip that I do is allow the apples to sit and marinate for about 30 minutes before placing the mixture in the crust to bake. Be sure to taste to ensure the proper sweetness and enough spices to your liking. You will win with this apple pie and just think you actually made it with a little help with the crust!  Enjoy and again Happy Eating!

All things Strawberry!

One of my dear clients had a wonderful Strawberry Dessert Soiree for her family and friends to welcome their new baby girl into the world.  I thought this was such a cute idea for a family that decides to not have a baby shower and/or already have an existing family.  Who doesn't like strawberry?  They are red and juicy and oh so good for you.  Thought I would share a little cheer before we get into all the holiday blogs.  The great thing about this party was that she did all the decorating for those DIY people and I just simply made all the yummy treats!  So for your next gathering think of a great theme like Sweet Potato hint hint and just come up with a really great way to draw your crowd in to eat it all!

Pumpkin Season

There are a few lovers of sweet potato pie and then there are the lovers of pumpkin pie.  Well I can tell you first hand that I just became a lover of pumpkin pie about 3 years ago.  After playing with a few recipes I can honestly say I appreciate the flavor and texture of the pumpkin.  If you've never tried it or just tried it once or twice, I suggest you experiment with it and give it another try.  The secret in my opinion is using the same spices that you would use in sweet potato pie but also adding a little pumpkin spice.  In order to perfect any dessert and make it your own you must taste, taste, and taste while adding your touch. Here's to the pumpkin and a wonderful but simple Pumpkin Recipe.  Don't forget to put it in a pretty dish to serve with maybe some creme fraiche or icecream!  If you wish to share your special recipe please feel free to post on our face book page Sweet Petit Desserts.  Sharing recipes is always in order!
