Yesterday, I did something that did not please Husband. I mailed books. Last week, I joined a couple of book swapping websites. This is a very good thing. You see, we are moving soon, and I hate, hate, hate packing. The fewer boxes, the better. Therefore, I joined Swaptree and Book Mooch (international!!), where you…
It’s a Chocolate-PB world
Everyone knows that the best desserts come from chocolate and pb combinations, right? That’s just me? No, I didn’t think so. If I could have kept any of these cuppies at home (which I purposefully did not), I’m certain that I’d have them all devoured by now, which is just about 24 hrs. to the…
Banana Crumb Muffins
Ten Things (of many) that really float my boat: 1. Husband singing songs made up just for me. 2. Boundless Webzine 3. Running in the rain with Husband 4. The Cheesecake Factory 5. God’s Truth 6. Passionate people 7. Travel 8. Snorkeling 9. Going to the gym 10. Muffins that have strong, lofty domes I…
In “Vince”able Treats
When you’re feeling blue, all you gotta do….is politely nibble at one small scarf down a panful of these amazing chocolate cinnamon rolls. PW’s Tasty Kitchen is a treasure. Among the many MANY recipes I drool over at the site are these amazing rolls.Not only is this unconventional cinnamon roll prototype delish, but it pleases…
Banana Coconut Cream Pie
Bananas are often overlooked here in Costa Rica as a fantastic basis for many desserts. Sure, we have our share of banana breads, but that’s it. This pie takes two very prolific tropical fruits and melds them into a sensational specimen of a pie. Most people have had banana cream pies or coconut cream pies,…
FIIF: A twist on a yummy Ina salad
This dish, while definitely not anything typical to our dinner table, was a fantastic hit! I loved it, and Husband didn’t show any telltale signs of disapproval either. I would serve it for company anytime or use it for a healthy picnic basket fare. As the title implies, it is based from Ina Garten’s recipe…
Mocha Chip Cookies
For awhile now I’ve been convinced that enticingly chocolate cookies could only be made possible through the addition of real chocolate to the batter. I’ve tried a handful of chocolate cookie recipes including one nearly identical to Dorie Greenspan’s “World Peace Cookies” and was still dissatisfied with the depth of chocolate flavor (exception being my…
Citrus Love
While mandarin oranges were still in season, I’d hoped to find the perfect recipe to utilize the cute little fruits. I love colorful mandarins because here where I live, they’re the only citrus fruit with a genuine pretty orange-colored peel. Zesting the yellow-green sour oranges or lemons just isn’t as visually appealing as picking up…
Melanger Masterpiece
Julia of Mélanger has hit the jackpot of lemon cakes. A friend shared with her this recipe for a quick lemon cake, and baby, let me tell you how good it is! The method is a little different than most cakes I’ve baked, but in the end the extra little step makes the whole recipe…
Homemade Tortillas
Homemade bread is a staple in our home. It’s almost always lying around in a ziplock bag, sitting tall and regal-like neighbor to chocolate chips in the freezer, or leaving behind crumbs on our black dining table. “If I can do bread,” thought I, “why on earth not try for tortillas?” Such a novel idea,…
