BOURBON CHOCOLATE CHERRY LOAF













Well my sweets, here is Grandma's answer to a cocktail at breakfast (or dessert), my delectable Bourbon Chocolate Chip Cherry Loaf. It is loaded (pardon the pun) with ripe Bing Cherries that have been macerated in Bourbon and Brown Sugar. Add Chocolate Chips and you have a wonderful, decadent loaf for any time of the day. 

Mike and George ordered one for themselves and said: "pure heaven!"

Order a slice (or loaf) of pure heaven for yourself! Lots of loaves to you my dearies.

PEANUT BUTTER & JELLY LOAF














Well, Grandma is always happy to accommodate her lovelies. When Bruce requested something with his favorite ingredient, PEANUT BUTTER, I suggested a twist on the classic PB&J sandwich. So here it is Bruce: your very own PEANUT BUTTER & JELLY LOAF. I hope you like it my dear.

The loaf is made with all natural Peanut Butter in the batter and chunky Strawberry Jam swirled throughout. It will go perfectly with a tall glass of milk (Lactose-free for Bruce) or a nice cup of tea. Enjoy!   

PEAR AND LEMON LOAF















My dearies, Grandma has been creating some new tasty loaves for you. This lovely loaf features sweet, juicy pears and fresh lemon zest. The flavor is delicate and naturally sweet. I do hope you'll try one soon.

This is what Dennis had to say about it:
"Thank you very much for the lemon-pear loaf -- it is DELICIOUS! I've had two sizeable slices already -- this is not going to be good for my waistline!"

Thank you for your kind words Dennis. Grandma is so happy to know you'll be letting out those trousers...

As you may or may not know, Grandma bakes some scrumptious GLUTEN-FREE desserts. I created tarts for BISTANGO RESTAURANT in NYC, including these luscious BLUEBERRY TARTS. The tart crust is made from ground Almonds, layered with chocolate, then fresh berries coated in a sweet fruit glaze.
