Unfortunately, the pictures from this wedding are not very good – the lighting was terrible. But as you can see, the food was set up in a small family dining room. We had the center table witht chafing pans of pasta salad, a fabulous tiered stand full of chicken salad filled puffs & Southwestern Ham […]
One year ago today I made my first DoughMessTic post. It was for Cream Cheese Brownies. The pictures suck…in fact, all of my early pictures sucked. One even has a box of baby wipes holding up a Lemon Meringue Pie. That I took at night. So sad. But I have come a long way since […]
Toasted Almond Lemon Bars have ground almonds to the crust, and a bit of almond extract in the filling, which results in out of this world Lemon Bars. How many times have you seen the entries for Cookie Carnival? Me? I have seen them too many times to count, and yet I never joined in […]
Let’s say you have taken half a day and made some mini chocolate cheesecakes. And let’s say you leave these sweet little pies sitting on the stovetop to cool while you catch up on your reading. (You do have 52 books to read this year, you know.) So let’s say while you are reading, you […]
Can you believe it’s Tuesday again already?? This week, Liliana of My Cookbook Addiction chose the French Yogurt Cake with Marmalade Glaze on pages 224-225 for us to try. It was easy! I was shocked. Anything with the word French in it frightens me a bit. The French, you know, those women spend like, a […]
This week Whitney of What’s Left on the Table chose Caramel Crunch Bars for our TWD recipe. I had been eyeing these goodies for quite a while, but never got around to actually making them until now. This was a relatively easy recipe – no sink full of dirty dishes, no chill time, wait time, […]
This month’s You Want Pies With That? Challenge was to make a Literary Pie – of course, this being the choice of Mary the Food Librarian. What else would you expect from the Food Librarian?? For my entry, I tossed around a few ideas, but finally settled on a One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest […]
I hope everyone had a great day with family and friends, and ate so much that you are now content to just lay on the couch watching the Rocky marathon. Cold turkey’s in the fridge, ya’ll. A commercial is just around the corner. To those of you ho are getting up in a couple of […]
Today is my Hubby’s Birthday. I won’t say how old he is exactly, but it rhymes with thirty-five. So, for his birthday, I ask him…”what kind of cake do you want?” Him: Eclairs. Me: That’s not a cake. Him: Mint Brownies. Me: That’s not a cake. Him: A cake made out of eclairs. Me: Umm, […]
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 […]
Okay, so I went ahead this morning and made the “Double Peanut Butter Cheesecake Swirl Brownies.” Let me begin by saying I knew that this wasn’t going to be good. Today, for that matter, just wasn’t a good day for being in the kitchen. Seven woke up with a sore butt and a snotty nose, […]
Is it possible? I was roaming around the house today, cloroxing as per usual and vacuuming, when it hit me. (not the vacuum, silly, this thought) I don’t think I really like peanut butter. I have eaten it all my life, and to say that kinda feels weird. If asked yesterday, I would have said, […]
