Pumpkin Muffins with Pecan Streusel
This recipe is a keeper. We’ve made it literally dozens and dozens of times. These Pumpkin Muffins with Pecan Streusel are simple the best pumpkin muffins ever. The recipe comes from Dorie Greenspan’s Baking: From My Home To Yours, which is one of my favorite cookbooks. Every time I pull a batch of these out of […]
Lenox Almond Biscotti
I usually turn up my nose at biscotti. It’s never been my favorite cookie. But as I was looking at the recipe for Lenox Almond Biscotti, I thought of the sliced almonds and almond extract. I like those. And then I thought about dried apricots. I like those, too. Together they were going to change […]
Kitchen Q&A: Cheese Course
picture: Four Easy Cheese Appetizer Ideas Kiasa wrote to me yesterday asking about creating a cheese course. (I immediately started salivating…and thinking.) Last night my husband (and muse) and I sat down to discuss fromage. What would we put on our cheese plate? We came up with a few things to keep in mind when […]
Roasted Plum-Cardamom Ice Cream
For about five years, we lived in a little house with a plum tree in the front yard. Every other year there was a bounteous harvest of tiny, juicy plums near the end of August. We would pick as many plums as we could. I made jam, smoothies, cakes, and pies. One day I decided to […]
Dimply Plum Cake
In my front yard, off to the side, there is a lovely little plum tree. Where our house stands now, there used to be an orchard. Our landlady lives behind us in a new house and we live in the older house that she grew up in. The yard was filled with fruit trees. Only […]
Chocolate Chunkers Cookie Recipe
I had looked at the recipe, or should I say–picture, for Chocolate Chunkers many times. They looked mighty tasty and mighty chocolaty. I hadn’t actually read the ingredient list until I sat down to make my shopping list on Saturday. HOLY COW. The recipe calls for what is essentially a pound (give or take two […]
Peanut Butter Brownies with Milk Chocolate Ganache and Salted Peanuts
These Peanut Butter Brownies might just be the best you’ve ever tasted. I first made these peanut butter brownies for a Mother’s Day BBQ years ago. I went by myself because my husband had something that day. What it was escapes me now. But it was a fun day. Our friends, Jaime and Omar, invited […]
Garden Update: Tomatoes, Etc.
No pictures for this post, I’m afraid. I couldn’t stop weeping long enough to take any pictures. Seriously. I’m very sad. We live in New York. It gets pretty darn hot and humid here. I’m nine months pregnant. I don’t like the heat anyway, but add pregnancy to it….it’s not working for me. So, I […]
BBQ Country Ribs (Slow Cooker)
These ribs could not be easier. Just plop them into the slow cooker, top with some BBQ sauce. Cook all day on low. And you’ve got yourself one delicious, easy dinner. Have you ever seen “Country Style Ribs” in your supermarket? Country Style Ribs are meaty and sold either with/without bones. Cooking them all day […]
Let’s See What David Lebovitz Says….
I get asked about making homemade ice cream all the time. Really, I don’t feel all too qualified to offer too much advice. My obsession with making my ice cream started when I went to Italy as an 18-year-old and tasted gelato for the first time. It wasn’t until several years later when I was […]
