I can't seem to get enough of it. I want to learn, learn, learn! Thankfully, I've had some professional taste-testers, so there is somewhere to put all this food!! Some of the desserts I made were less than exciting, one was downright a failure, and some were melt-in-your-mouth delicious. I forgot to take pictures of all of them, but here are a few...


*Lemon Chess Pie, requested by my stepfather, Larry. Too bad the crust was having issues, because the filling was lusciously lemony.


*Shortbread, recipe all the way from Scotland! Nothing but pure rich goodness in these cookies. These are, in fact, some of the only cookies I like with a little crisp :).


*Key Lime Pie. I am surrounded by family members that looooove this pie. I can take it or leave it, but I did find this recipe very delish. It would have been even better if I had had the patience to let it chill longer than the 2 hour minimum.


*My favorite of them all, Open-faced Peace Custard Pie. Halved fresh peaches swimming in sugary goodness. Almost like a chess pie with peaches, only better.


Baking has been the wildest frontier for me lately! Sometimes I wonder what the heck I am doing, but mostly I am loving the freedom to explore, to try new things, and dream of what could be.

If you have a favorite dessert, post a comment and let me know! There are so many desserts out there, its hard to know where to start. Knowing what desserts YOU love would be a great starting point!
