The Italians. Wow. They do gelato. They do pizza. They do pasta. They do some major coffee. They also do a mean Hot Chocolate. It varies from café to café, but a morning stroll through the just snowy cobblestone streets of Rome will for the most part yield you a slow, steaming hot cup of […]
I wish you could have had a bite of two of this risotto. Truth be told though, even if you had been here, my dinner cohort, Mrs. BranAppetit, would likely have gnawed your hand off for snitching a bite. She was a bit possessive of it, to say the very least. Yeah…it was THAT good. […]
Remember when I made those Pumpkin Pie Mini Popovers? I do. And I remember something else about it, too. Someone emailed me. Have I made an Apple Pie Popover? Well, no, no I have not. Until now. You see, the mere thought of making Apple Pie Popovers intrigued me so that I could not bear […]
Adding salt to chocolate is awesome. It really brings out the rich flavor we all love, and intensifies the sweet experience. I add salt to basically every cookie I make these days, and these were no exception. Halloween this year brought FOUR different Trick-or-Treat events in the Whetzel House. Four. And apparently, there was a […]
I did a post like this last week, where I talked about what I wanted. Kind of liberating, to not just talk about food for a change. Believe it or not, I do lots of things other than cook. I think. FFF Equals…Four Year Old, Fanatical, and Friends Four Year Old One of those things […]
Oh, sweet readers, you are in for a treat today. My friend Carrie of Fields of Cake has something to dish in the way of Cinnamon Rolls full of Bacon and topped with White Chocolate Cream Cheese Icing. Oh, Carrie. In case you don’t know her, you should…she’s one heck of a baker. Right now, […]
I always forget how easy turnovers can be, and therefore forget to make them. Actually, that may be fortuitous, at least for my butt. But something reminded me a few days ago, and of course, that meant I had to make them again. I don’t think I’ve ever posted a turnover here on Doughmesstic before, […]
I have to limit myself to how often I use my tagine. Otherwise, I’ll leave it on the stovetop permanently, always at the ready, as it cooks like nobody’s business. It’s a truly wonderful piece of cookware. Crockery. Whatever, it’s awesome. At first glance, the tagine is a strange bird, this weird shaped vessel that […]
Have you seen that new Dodge commercial that seriously hurts my feelings? Not sure if it’s the guys voice, or what he’s saying. Maybe both. But every time I see it, it stings. And because that marketing genius aimed the advertisement right at ME, I want that freaking SUV even though I have no money […]
There’s no questions about it…Biscoff Spread is BIG. Once it hit grocery shelves, food bloggers took it and ran. Instagram photos, blog posts, Twitter, Pinterest – Biscoff Spread is everywhere. However, if you live in a small town like me, it’s everywhere BUT the grocery store shelves. Luckily, I know people. And these people sent […]
That’s a mouthful, isn’t it? But I couldn’t leave any of those descriptors out. It’s Pumpkin. And Orange. And Vanilla Beans. And it’s butter. Great butter, too…it’s Kerrygold. In fact, it’s the brand new Kerrygold Naturally Softer Pure Irish Butter. Have you seen it yet? you can find it in a small tub, right in […]
