Dorie may have gotten it right this time. I’m willing to consider changing my opinions. These pumpkin muffins were everything she promised. They were fantastic. I had hoped these would be sweet – but not too sweet; perfect for breakfast with a little butter and maybe a dab of honey. I couldn’t trust myself with [...]
My experience with biscotti is limited at best. I was never turned on by the whole idea of biscotti because to me it appeared to have the same texture as (very) stale bread sticks. That and they’re not overly sweet and not overly savory, so their function seemed rather limited as well. <enter complete and [...]
SIGH! I don’t know where to start! I’m underwhelmed and disappointed! Sigh! I had such high hopes! I was so excited when Tammy of Wee Treats selected the Caramel-Peanut-Topped Brownie Cake! It had all the right components. Brownies. Caramel. Peanuts AND Cake! How on earth could this go wrong? In more ways then one!
There’s always desserts that linger in the back of our minds as “ones I’d like to make someday” but am too chicken to do it. Why? I don’t know. Just am was. Not anymore! Tuesdays with Dorie member Mari of Mevrouw Cupcake has selected this weeks bake off and creme brulee was it! Off to [...]
Okay, I’ll be blunt. This dimply plum cake was fantastic! The recipe had very few ingredients for a cake.. and I just wasn’t expecting much. IMO, what really does this cake in is the orange zest. Its SO flavorful, and the smell is out of this world. Because of this recipe and my Greek Celebration [...]
Because I live for key lime pie, I had marked this recipe when I first bought this book. I was *so* glad that it had finally come up in the rotation! Dianne of Diannes Dishes chose our recipe and I had plans to starting baking as soon as I saw it posted. [...]
Its Tuesday, and that means that the TWD’ers are back at it again. This time it was carrot cake! I’ve been wanting to make carrot cake for a while, but I’ve got so much going on it the kitchen, it had just taken a number and was waiting at the back of [...]
Okay, so not really, but it was fun to make these little bites of chocolatey goodness. Dorie’s recipe for Gooey Chocolate Cakes were what was on this weeks TWD agenda. I had opted to make miniature versions, simply because I wanted to bring all of the left overs to work (especially [...]
I’m back, TWD‘er’s, I’m back! The kitchen remodel took two weeks more than I thought it would, and now the kitchen is finally done (and clean!). I made this flan on Tuesday, but didn’t realize that it not only had to cool to room temp AND chill in the fridge for at least 4 [...]
The Tuesday that would’ve been… I had been planning on making this – I mean, it’s only my second week with the Dorie crew. BUT… My kitchen remodel started yesterday AND I came down with an awful cold. Right now my kitchen is covered in white dust over a 1/4″ thick because we [...]
