I decided to join Tuesdays with Dorie at the urging of Em, The Repressed Pastry Chef. I thought it would be interesting to see varying interpretations of a dessert all made from the same recipe. This week was my first time as an official Tuesdays with Dorie baker. The task was to create a Summer …
Yesterday I made mini desserts: three types of cheesecakes and brownie bites. I searched the internet for quite some time looking for a great brownie recipe. I decided on a recipe that claimed to yield a deep dish brownie because I really do not enjoy the thin variety. I think brownies, like chocolate chip cookies, …
When I think of summer desserts, S’mores immediately come to mind! However, I am lacking a fire pit, I despise camping and quite frankly, I am not the outdoorsy type. So, when I saw this recipe, it sounded like a great way to enjoy S’mores, sans covering myself in citronella and sunscreen. I found this …
I love apples, especially Granny Smith apples! I had a bunch of them in the fridge, so I decided to make apple crisp. However, I did not stop there, I also made a homemade vanilla bean ice cream in my beloved Kitchen Aid ice cream maker attachment. I have made ice cream several times since …
I had leftover bittersweet chocolate from the Caramel-Peanut Topped Brownie Cake that I made last week. I turned to Dorie Greenspan’s book, Baking: From My Home to Yours. I decided to try her chocolate pudding, which was just featured as the Tuesdays With Dorie recipe a couple of weeks ago. I followed the recipe exactly …
I have made quite a few cupcakes in my day, but in recent months I have been doing them by scratch. I find making homemade desserts to be a rather rewarding process from start to finish. These little beauties happen to be at the top of my cupcake list. The cake is a recipe that …
There is nothing better than a warm, gooey cookie. Yesterday I decided to make some good ol’ Tollhouse cookies. I made two varieties; White Chocolate Macadamia Nut (these are one of my dad’s faves) and Milk Chocolate Chip. I followed the basic Tollhouse recipe except for switching out half the butter for butter flavored Crisco. …
This recipe is called My Amish Friend’s Caramel Corn, but sadly I have no amish friends, so I changed the title. To be honest, I have no idea what makes it “Amish” besides the fact that it originated from an Amish family. Random Flashback/Tip: I remember being in high school home economics and making caramel …
I have used this banana cake recipe from Allrecipes several times, especially when I have buttermilk hanging around in the fridge. This time I decided to make cupcakes and frost with my friend, Em’s, Magnificent Cream Cheese Icing. I decided to make these in different varieties, so some had walnuts, some had chocolate chips, and …
I ordered Dorie Greenspan’s book, Baking: From My Home to Yours. This book is actually what compelled me to create this blog, well, that and my mild photography obsession. This recipe involves a brownie cake base topped with a caramel peanut sauce. In one word, I would describe this as rich… really, really rich! I …
