National Vanilla Pudding Day: Don't understimate the simple but dazzling flavor of this dessert

It's National Vanilla Pudding Day, an occasion which celebrates the beauty of simplicity. There are no bananas or vanilla wafers in this pudding; no chocolate or butterscotch has been stirred in. This isn't being used as a custard for trifle or for a parfait. It is glorious all on its own! ...

Adult milkshakes anything but plain vanilla

MICHELLE LOCKE, For The Associated Press Smooth, sweet, cold and just the ticket for contracting a case of brain freeze on a sweltering summer day.

Embrace your inner Olympic athlete with a slice of cheesecake

For most of my life, I have shied away from cheesecakes. Heavy as bricks, and often sickly sweet, I usually regret my order after the first bite. Of course there are delicious cheesecakes, and I’ve had a few of those as well. And it turns out they’ve been enjoyed by ...

Almondina Crunch Coffee Cake - a simple but flavorful pleasure

I love getting packages in the mail, because they're usually food-related! And one I received recently was no exception.  It contained a generous sampling — for marketing purposes — of Almondina cookies, which are similar to very thin biscotti.

Gluten free chocolate streusel cupcakes - a hint of salt to complement the sweet

Gluten-free products ain't what they used to be!  In the not so olden days, these items were fair-to-poor approximations of foods that those who can't eat gluten would endure simply to have some form of baked good.  But the situation has improved considerably, and there are lots of really great ...

Butter cake for Yom HaShoah symbolic of hope for the future

Today is Yom HaShoah [YOHM hah-shoh-AH], Holocaust Remembrance Day. To say that this is a day of great solemnity within the Jewish community is an understatement, truly, of indescribable proportion.

Popovers: Simple, speedy dessert right for spring

J.M. HIRSCH, AP Food Editor Dessert is an uncommon offering in my house, though not due to any we're-too-healthy-for-that ethic. Rather, the typical day of work and errands and chasing a child tend to leave me with little time to consider dessert. Which is why on the rare occasion that ...
