Long before Jerry Seinfeld’s wife was writing cookbooks about sneaking vegetables into your kids’ foods, my mom was making this cake. Way before. So what exactly is in this besides mint? Beets. No kidding. I’m not sure why it’s called Maritimer Mint Chocolate Cake but I do know it’s a really good cake and it doesn’t taste suspicious at all. It’s rich and moist and chocolatey.

Rhubarb Custard Pie
What do you get when you cross a butter tart with rhubarb? Rhubarb Custard Pie. The ingredients in the custard are very similar to butter tart filling. When combined with rhubarb the end result is a creamy delicious sweet and tart pie.
Creme Brûlée
Creme Brûlée is one of those classic desserts. It’s rich and creamy and silky and, best of all, you make it in advance. In fact the day before is preferable. The crackly caramelized sugar topping takes only a few minutes right before serving and totally takes it to a top level dish! The downside is that the main ingredient is cream. High fat cream. I wanted to see if using a lower fat combination would give the same delicious results. And I was pleasantly surprised!
