Our new baby

Our new baby

I know this is a food blog, but I could not resist. This is Curtis, and he has a sister named Effie (Curtis and Effie–from Dreamgirls!). He is sooo delicious! Currently weighing in at 2 pounds! He should get to 3, and we are hoping that he will stay small, as he is just so cute. I’m horrified that I have bottled sauce next to him…..I usually make my own, but I was in such a rush that day…bottled had to do!

Banana Chocolate Chip Cheesecake

In testing recipes for Papa’s Desserts, I tried the above, which was in a word, amazing. So light, so decadent, and so delicious. Banana chocolate chip layer cake, sandwiched around a banana cheesecake and frosted and filled with White Chocolate Cream Cheese icing. One of the best desserts I have ever made. OMG. Amazing. Look for it on the Papa’s Desserts line up this fall!

I am so remiss. I feel like I have neglected this blog and there is no excuse. Well maybe a little one. I have been so insanely busy with my new company Papa’s Desserts. Shop NBC has me coming to Minnesota twice monthly to promote the line. Here a link to our most recent appearance!

I am pleased to announce the formation of Papa’s Desserts–a play on my very big, fat, Greek last name! Cheesecakes are my game in this endeavor!

Monkfish

 

Monkfish, wrapped in prosciutto and served over a cannellini bean puree with blistered tomatoes and balsamic glaze!  Delicious!
