Roasted Pear Tarte Tatin
I had big plans for making Christmas dinner at my mom’s house, but it didn’t happen. There was so much food left from Christmas Eve, that we didn’t bother making a big meal. We just snacked on what was there. So, I thought I could do some of it, but the mother-in-law had her own [...]

Rosemary Artichoke Spread

Peanut Butter (two 9×9 pans)
White Chocolate/Cookies and Cream (one 9×9 pan)
