Gingered Chocolate Tart with Sweet Potato Crust
This tart was inspired by a fudge pie my mom used to make when I was growing up in Nashville, TN. She got the recipe from a friend named Judy, who was the closest thing to Paula Deen in our family’s social circle. The woman could do wonders with a stick of butter. She made [...]
Spicy Black Bean Brownies
