This Salted Honey Pear Crostata has ALL THE GOOD THINGS! The pears in this crostata are perfectly sweet and retain their structure (ie don’t get mushy) but are still tender to the fork. They are bathed in the salted honey caramel bringing in bits of caramel, honey and toffee flavors to the mix. This crust is hella flakey, easy to…

Sometimes something is just too dang delicious not to share and that’s the case with this spectacle of a dessert, behold the Salted Caramel S’mores Tart.

I love cooking everything, I love how everything tastes…I love how the whole purpose is to get together, break some bread, clink some glasses and be grateful. It’s the best kind of day.

Hold onto your boxer shorts, I’m doing a giveaway. I’ve always thought about doing one and some really fab companies have offered me product but, honestly, it sounded like a lot of extra work. So when Teri from NoCrumbsLeft approached me and asked if I wanted to do a joint giveaway of a Lagostina copper saucepan (see it up there in…
