Toasted Coconut Pecan Pie

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #SweetenTheSeason #CollectiveBias Toasted Coconut Pecan Pie is the condensed version of this dessert’s name. It’s actually Toasted Coconut Pecan Pie with Caramel & White Chocolate Drizzle. Yes, it’s a mouthful and no, it wouldn’t fit in my title width. […]

Macadamia Nut Brownies

January 22, 2015 by Alli 44 Comments

Brownies just happen to be my husband and son #2’s favorite dessert of all time – all brownies, any brownies, and especially my macadamia nut brownies. My husband likes these brownies piping hot with a big scoop (or 2) of vanilla ice cream, so these are a perfect dessert or snack for winter. When he’s […]

Blue Olive by Chef Xavier

July 29, 2014 by Alli 18 Comments

The hubs and I visited the Blue Olive Restaurant and Wine Bar for lunch one day while shopping in Rodney Bay, St. Lucia. I had read about it in a travel guide, so when we happened upon the restaurant while deciding where to do lunch, it was a no-brainer! We didn’t need reservations since it […]

Sweet Potato Dumplings

January 7, 2013 by Alli 7 Comments

Think apple dumplings, not chicken and dumplings. Think melt-in-your-mouth deliciousness. Think scrumptious. Think dessert OR side dish. Make a run to the grocery store. Hurry. You have to try these. I have a special place in my heart for the sweet potato. Because it is, well, sweet. You can fry it, bake it, casserole it […]
