And the best part (aside from the taste)? You only need four ingredients to make these!! [Read more…]

I am actually eating one right now, and they are so yummy that I keep stopping mid typing to get just one more bite. They are SO. GOOD.

First, pears are in season, so they are plentiful and cheap right now! Score!! Also, this is a super simple, healthy dessert that is impressive and comforting.
