Removing cookies from a pedestal

Posted in Eats, Travel, tagged , , , , , , , , on December 28, 2011 | Leave a Comment »

Two years ago, I completed a successful search for a recipe that tasted like the fabulous Gingeroos that I bought at a Las Vegas Trader Joe’s but couldn’t find in Nashville. The husband and I spent Christmas in Vegas this year, and when I spotted the bags of Gingeroos on the shelf at TJ’s, I [...]

Virtual cookie swap offers tasty treat possibilities

Posted in Eats, tagged , , , , , , , , , on December 21, 2011 | 2 Comments »

I participated in a virtual cookie swap earlier this week hosted by Kat over at She Cooks, He Eats. I can tell you from experience that this swap was a lot less stressful than a real-life cookie swap.  Kat only wanted links, photos and recipes, whereas the real-life cookie swap hostess actually made us bring [...]

The end of Nutella experiments

Posted in Eats, tagged , , , , , , , , , on December 5, 2011 | 2 Comments »

I’m about to say something that may just break Pinterest: I think recipes that incorporate Nutella may be overrated. I know, I know. Who hates on Nutella, that rich, delicious hazelnut spread imported from Europe? I don’t want to hate on Nutella, but I do have to suggest that it may just be too much [...]

Nutella cookies have a short shelf life

Posted in Eats, Photographs, tagged , , , , , , , , on October 15, 2011 | 3 Comments »

The Internet seems to be bursting at the seams with Nutella recipes. Folks are mixing the hazelnut spread into everything from ice cream to hot chocolate. As a friend pointed out, the only thing needed for a good Nutella dish is a spoon. It is a product that may be best unencumbered by other ingredients [...]

Almost foiled by frozen blueberries

Posted in Eats, Photographs, tagged , , , , , on September 10, 2011 | Leave a Comment »

The downfall of my attempt to make Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake Cookies? Frozen blueberries. And when I say downfall, I don’t mean that they were inedible. On the contrary, they were delicious, with a cake-like consistency that made them very much like tiny, round blueberry muffins. The recipe didn’t specify whether to use fresh or frozen [...]

Strawberries + white chocolate = new summer cookies

Posted in CSA, Eats, Photographs, tagged , , , , , , , on June 18, 2011 | 1 Comment »

Even after making jam, I had at least a quart of strawberries left yesterday. Enter Facebook, where one of my friends had recently posted a recipe for White Chocolate and Strawberry Cookies. They were reported to be pink and delicious, and while I’m no great fan of pink food, I am quite fond of all [...]

Somebody throw an Easter party, STAT

Some people would call these Carrot Cake Balls, not Carrot Cake Truffles. These people are also desperately trying to come up with a reason to make a batch. Once again, Serious Eats completely undermines my low-sugar eating plan.

Next baking project acquired

Obsession du jour: the Rum and Coke Cake outlined on Serious Eats. I totally needed an excuse to break out the bundt pan and open a bottle of rum.

Strawberry cake, interrupted

Posted in Eats, Family, tagged , , , , , , , , , , on March 22, 2011 | 10 Comments »

This post was supposed to be about the awesome strawberry cupcakes I made that reminded me of my grandmother and finally fulfilled a nearly yearlong craving. But NO, because my oven hates cupcakes and burns the bottom of each and every one. I hinted around last year that I would love to have a strawberry [...]
