Grilled Pineapple with Cinnamon-Rum-Orange Yogurt

August 3, 2018 by Nicole Coudal

Grilled Pineapple with Cinnamon Yogurt Sauce

Growing a pineapple is one of the most rewarding things you can ever do. All you have to do is place the green top of a pineapple into some dirt and wait for it to produce a flower — one that results in a perfect pineapple.  Easy, right? Like many things, it’s not that simple….

Rosemary & Lemon Shortbread Cookies

May 25, 2018 by Nicole Coudal

rosemary lemon shortbread

Rosemary is a beautiful, fragrant herb known for remembrance and friendship.  It’s also a source of iron, calcium and B-6, and even has ancient healing roots for ailments like muscle aches, memory loss and hair loss. This stuff has it all! Because it thrives in a sunny climate and loves rain (we’ve been having a…

Orange-Infused Chocolate Covered Fruit

February 9, 2018 by Nicole Coudal

Every shop I visited over the last week has been well-stocked with treats for the big day — Valentine’s Day, that is. All those treats looked so delicious – chocolate covered Rice Krispies treats, heart-shaped cookies, chocolate covered pretzels/cookies/dried fruit, things on sticks, things in stacks, tiny bags of cinnamon hearts (one of my faves),…

Lemon-Orange-Rosemary Granita

June 28, 2017 by Nicole Coudal

Lemon Orange Rosemary Granita

June 21 marked the first day of summer, but here in Florida it has felt like summer for the last two months. Needless to say, it has been pretty hot, and two weeks of rain greatly increased our infamous humidity levels, making it ultimately feel like the surface of the sun. For those of us…

Blueberry-Basil Crisp

April 20, 2017 by Nicole Coudal

Blueberry Basil Crisp

There are few desserts I love more than warm, berry crisp. Think about it – your spoon breaks through that crunchy, buttery layer of goodness, then it dives deeper into soft, warm, gooey fruit.  And, as you raise that drippy spoon to your mouth, you can’t help but anticipate how delicious it will be once…

Creamy Rice, Pineapple & Orange Pudding

April 14, 2017 by Nicole Coudal

Rice Pineapple Orange Pudding

When Easter rolls around I think of family dinners around my grandmother’s table.  Dinner usually included baked ham with sweet and cinnamon-y pineapple sauce, creamy scalloped potatoes, fresh asparagus and homemade rolls, and it has always been one of my favorite meals. But dessert was also a treat. She usually served lemon meringue pie (or…

Apple Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

December 9, 2016 by Nicole Coudal

Apple Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

Folks who know me best have heard me say “Anything is better with cream cheese frosting or bacon,” and a combination of the two is simply over-the-top deliciousness, in my book. Today we’re talking about cream cheese frosting.  I simply adore it, especially when it’s on my favorite Apple Cake. I’ve written about this cake…

Basil Infused Whipped Cream

October 13, 2016 by Nicole Coudal

Basil Infused with Berries

For years I’ve tried to grow basil in a pot in my home, only to see the poor plants get more withered and sad by the day. . . Well, things have changed at the Coudal house ‘cause we now have a garden and my basil is growing like gangbusters! The plants look so happy,…

Strawberry & Chocolate Icebox Cake

March 2, 2016 by Nicole Coudal

roasted strawberry cake

Florida strawberries are in season, so I’m getting my fill of them. I love these tasty, fragrant little berries in salads, smoothies, pie, muffins and, of course, classic shortcake. Somehow, though, “National Strawberry Day” on February 27 got away from me. Ironically, that was the day I picked up a bunch of berries at the…

Valentine’s Day Heart-Healthy Chocolate Bark

February 12, 2016 by Nicole Coudal

chocolate almond cherry kumquat bark

When Valentine’s Day rolls around, I always think of my dad because, on that special day, he always gave me a sweet card, flowers, and a little heart-shaped box of chocolates. He made me feel so special, and that feeling carried into adulthood, especially during the years when I didn’t have a boyfriend on the…

Vintage Calamondin Cake

February 4, 2016 by Nicole Coudal

calamondin cake platter

I must admit, I don’t use boxed cake mixes, but I thought I’d put aside my baking morals after finding this recipe for a vintage-era cake that seems to have been extremely popular in the 1940s-50s (gosh, it even got published in several newspapers!).  I’m not sure where it originated, so if you happen to…

Mini Pear & Fig Galettes

November 25, 2015 by Nicole Coudal

pear galette with fig jam

Armed with one remaining sheet of puff pastry, one overripe pear and some fig jam that’s been in my fridge too long, I set out to make a dessert.  And since pears and figs make a naturally good team, I knew I couldn’t go wrong with whatever I came up with. . . I love…
