I’ll be honest, I almost didn’t do this. But how could I live with myself if I didn’t? I mean, seriously? This IS my group after all. It’s just that with Jon and I both being sick the past few days, a South American dinner didn’t really sound too good. So of course, I did […]
You know I can’t believe it when you say that you won’t “eat” me… Sorry, that song has been stuck in my head since I made this batch of brownies. I kind of invented this recipe, so I don’t really want to share it, well, not yet anyway. But it is thick gooey brownies and […]
Or, otherwise known as – Uhm, Not So Much. As in, not so much Pecan, not so much sticky, and not so much buns. Or, as I am calling them, Yicky Notsomuchbuns. This recipe was a classic case of “I should have known better”, in fact, I knew better from the get-go. Sunday we had […]
So I haven’t posted in a couple of days, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t been baking. For some reason, possibly because I spend too much time at iheartcuppycakes and cupcake bakeshop, I have been obsessed with making cupcakes. Since Wednesday, I have made Orange with a Vanilla Bean Cream Cheese Icing, Red Velvet with […]
Okay, okay. I was supposed to be baking for the coffeeshop today, but I knew I could get it all done, so instead, I surfed around the Dorie group looking at all of the weekly baked goods. Low and behold, I tripped right onto Spatulas & Corkscrews boat and saw her pictures and recipe for […]
Since I just joined the TWD group last week, I didn’t get the opportunity to make the Peanut Butter Torte with the rest of the group…so, not having a madeleine pan, the torte was my choice. Plus, I had all the in-laws in over the weekend and I wanted to have a nice looking (and […]
Today has been a really long day in the kitchen, and every recipe was a new one. I had never made scones or biscotti (nor really eaten them, as I like sweeter sweets and don’t drink coffee) but I did manage to make 2 different varieties of each. I made Chocolate Almond Biscotti and an […]
Well, here is the result of the bakerella project I started yesterday…these little guys are time consuming! I didn’t have the cookie cutter she recommended to make the right shape, so I impovised and smooshed (is that a word?) them into shape. I will know for next time to not put shortening in the chocolate […]
I have been in the kitchen more today than I think i have been in there since we’ve lived here. No joke. If it wasn’t nailed down today, I baked it, fried it or nuked it. First off, i made my Tuesdays With Dorie recipe, which as everyone knows, I can’t post until (duh) Tuesday. […]
So this was my first Tuesdays With Dorie challenge…Florida Pie. Let me acknowledge first off that I am not a big fan of pie. I do like a good lemon meringue, and pecan pie has always been tasty. But lime? The only Key Lime pie I have ever had has been the generic boxed variety, […]
Okay. I gave in to the Hollywood hype…Sprinkles Cupcakes. It appears that Oprah, Tom, Katie, Posh, Becks and all those other over paid celebs out in the big CA love paying too much for cupcakes. Posh doesn’t even eat hers, apparantly, she’s too good to put anything sugar based in her system. But anyway, the […]
Despite the pretty name, to be honest , these are just so-so mini-pies. Too time consuming to make again, not delicious enough, either. Sure, they are good, but nothing to write home about. Again, I took the recipe stright from recipeezaar.com – the name is Peach Berry Galettes. Probably quite good if they are hot […]
