Mini Pavlovas with Yogurt Cream and Mixed Fruit
My trek to cooking club didn’t pan out last night. My sweet little red-headed baby has been coming down with a cold and yesterday it finally hit full force. She was coughing so hard she threw up on me three times. Poor thing. I know how miserable she is because she caught that cold from […]
Banana Cream Pie
Pie is not my favorite dessert. I like it, I just don’t love it the way I love creme brulee or ice cream. Or cheesecake. Or chocolate chip cookies. Pie is pretty near the bottom of the list–one step above panettone. That being said, I actually do love banana cream pie. It surpasses my love/hate […]
Blood Orange Cream Cookies
So there’s this blog I’m totally in love with. (And I’m not alone.) And every time Cannelle et Vanille shows up on my reader, I feel my heartbeat quicken a bit. I know I’m not only in for some gorgeous pictures, but a well thought out, wonderful combination of flavors and textures embodied in […]
Cake Slice Bakers: Triple Lemon Chiffon Cake
This month for Cake Slice Bakers, we chose to make the Triple Lemon Chiffon Cake from Sky High: Irresistible Triple-Layer Cakes by Alisa Huntsman. Because I have a very good reason, I deviated slightly from the recipe and added strawberries. The inside is a moist lemon chiffon cake filled with tangy lemon curd and a […]
Banana Sour Cream Muffins
Need an idea for your Saturday breakfast? My little guy peeled a mushy banana and it fell apart in his hands. He sobbed for me to fix it. And because sometimes life hands you mushy bananas that won’t stick back together, you have no choice but to make muffins. I looked to my favorite recipe […]
Valentine’s Treats: Cream Filled Strawberries
A long time ago, my neighbor brought my family the most delicious treat – cream filled strawberries. Not only were they pretty, they tasted fantastic. I’ve looked all over trying to find a recipe that tasted just like my neighbor’s. The filling was made with sweetened cream cheese and stayed nicely piped inside the strawberry […]
Sour Cream-Cherry Muffins with Pecan Streusel
I adore muffins for breakfast. My very favorite recipe for muffins comes from Cooks’ Illustrated. I used it a base for these muffins because I thought the sour cream and cherries would be great together. And of course, I had to add the streusel. (P.S. They don’t really need the butter on top.) Sour Cream-Cherry […]
Tall and Creamy Cheesecake
Cheesecake is one of my very favorite desserts. The only thing that has displaced it is creme brulee. I know cheesecake. I know how to make cheesecake. I’ve made many, many cheesecakes. When I was younger, single, and childless, I even took a fun all-day cheesecake class at the Institute of Culinary Education in Manhattan. […]
TWD: Arborio Rice Pudding with Roasted Pears and Bourbon Caramel and Candied Pecans
(Isabelle of Les gourmandises d’Isa chose Dorie’s Arborio Rice Pudding. Please visit her blog for the recipe.) Better late than never, right? I did actually make this on Tuesday, but only got around to posting it today. Let me start by saying that I am not a fan of rice pudding. Never have been. I […]
Cream Cheese and Jam Sweet Rolls
As I was trying to figure out what to do with the remaining 1/2 recipe of brioche from Tuesdays With Dorie, I came up with a wonderful idea. Why not make a cheese danish sort of version? I wanted to use sour cherry jam, but alas, I pulled it out of the fridge and found […]
