What's New on Pinterest: Save Room for Dessert

Stuffing? Thanks, but we’re going to Save Room for Dessert during National Dessert Month. The larder is full of desserts -- boozy, sweet, baked, frozen, moussed and mixed from homemade brownie mix. Pumpkin pecan cobbler satiates the gobblers, Italian lemon olive oil cake with berries draws out the oohs and aahs, and pies are everyone’s pals -- peach hand pies, peanut butter pie, individual frozen Key lime pies...do apple pie fries count? Three-ingredient Nutella mousse is your easy breezy go-to, and no-bake mint chocolate lasagna, well, that’s in a category all its own.  

Live the Sweet Life as Ray’s Restaurants Slices into National Dessert Month

Halloween candy, move over. It’s National Dessert Month, and Ray’s Restaurants is pulling out the good stuff. At Ray’s at Killer Creek, seasonal fruits bubble under brown sugar, flour and butter in iron skillet crisps – which really are baked in iron skillets in their wood oven. 

French toast becomes dessert when it’s made with brioche squares filled with sweetened mascarpone, cinnamon-battered and pan-seared then topped with maple syrup, whipped cream and fresh berries. Pumpkin crème brûlée and white chocolate bread pudding make the month-long dessert menu at Ray’s on the River. Downtown, Ray’s in the City features a different special dessert each week: bananas foster with vanilla bean ice cream this week, followed by macadamia nut bread pudding with cinnamon ice cream then pumpkin panna cotta.
