Monkey Bites

No monkeys were harmed in the making of this dessert. I guess it's called monkey bites because it has bananas in it, but really it should be called moist-delicious-awesomeness-banana-bites. Yeah, I guess Monkey Bites rolls off the tongue a little easier. I prefer my baked goods as ladies, not gentlemen. As in, no nuts. But… Continue reading Monkey Bites

Crustless Pumpkin Pie

The technically correct term for this recipe is "Pumpkin Flan". I'm pretty sure you need a crust to call something a pie. But I think the word flan is a little gross sounding, and I adore everything about pumpkin pie except the crust, so I'm doing this recipe on my own terms. Crustless Pumpkin Pie… Continue reading Crustless Pumpkin Pie
