wasn’t sure what to call this. The recipe that I adapted it from is called a pie, but we all know a pie, and this is no pie. Cobbler would have a higher proportion of fruit, crisp would be, well, crisp. Torte seems too highbrow. This combination of sweet tart cranberries, caramelized sugar, crunchy nuts and a dense, sweet buttery dough is definitely not highbrow. It takes maybe 10 minutes to throw together (if you move slowly) and is homey and delicious and beautiful. Cake is perhaps the closest approximation, though light and fluffy this is not.

Greensicles – Avocado Mint Ice Cream Pops
July 26th, 2011 · 1 Comment · Recipes, Summer
These avocado mint ice cream pops please both the kids and the adults. They check the boxes of sweet, cold and messy, but they’re also outrageously creamy and they have a flavor that you can’t quite place. The perfect cold and creamy treat for the steamy hot days of summer.
Blueberry Corn Pie
July 5th, 2011 · 6 Comments · Baked Goods and Desserts, Recipes, Summer
Whatever the inspiration, this is a pie to keep. The corn adds its own crunchy sweetness to the soft blueberries, and the native starch in the corn helps set the pie filling. Adding cornmeal to my standard butter crust also enhances the corn flavor as well as adding a nice crunch. The result is an all-American, height of summer pie to end all pies. Only of course, it won’t.
