This dessert is one of my favorites to serve during the fall and holidays. You can easily make it a day or just a few hours ahead and reheat the pears and sauce just before serving.

I lightened this classic southern pie by reducing the amount of butter in the crust. You can easily substitute the crust with a store bought graham cracker crust if you are short on time.

This dessert came second nature to my mom. If we had friends over she would always whip up a batch of lemon squares. A very refreshing, classic dessert that everyone loves!

Hummingbird cake is a classic southern cake with traditional cream cheese icing. I have lightened the recipe up a bit and made cupcakes which are perfect for entertaining. The Goat Cheese Icing gives it an amazing flavor, but traditional cream cheese icing or orange glaze is also a nice choice.

Goat cheese gives the traditional cream cheese icing a tangy flavor and is perfect for red velvet or carrot cake. I also love it on my Hummingbird Cupcakes.
