My two recent blog love finds are by French food stylists. I picture Bea and Helen sipping cafe au lait at a chic open-air bistro plinking away at their keyboards formulating the latest fashionable recipe. Their blogs are artistic, elegant, and full of the some of the most dazzling photography that I’ve seen. Brimming with…
Pate a Choux Tutorial & Aztec Cream Puffs
It all began with Sopa Azteca. On a whim, Husband wished to invite a few business colleagues to dinner, requesting Aztec soup be served. Dessert was another story. Soup,cheesecake? Soup, cookies? Nothing seemed quite right. You see, all week long I’d had my heart set on making an exquisite cake, something new and sophisticated, decorated…
Lindt who?
When I was a kid, my dad often travelled to Europe on business. To my mother’s delight, he often returned bearing a small box of Lindt’s Lindor Truffles. These were such a prized gift at that time, before Lindt stores invaded American malls and became just as familiar as Hershey’s. I still consider truffles to…
Celebration (and cleanup) time!!
Today’s my birthday! Yay! Husband will be posting my bday dessert later, but in the meantime, I thought I’d share a bit of advice that I’ve accumulated over my 25 years… Sometimes Mom is right. Just sometimes though. Yesterday I baked 2 devils food cakes for a bday celebration at Husband’s workplace. These really were…
Sue Flay, Bobby’s mom?
Sue Flay- soufflé, get it? Can you tell I watch an overdose of Food Network? Inspired by Jamie at MyBakingAddiction, I went the way of the haughty taughty overpriced but elegant grown-up restaurants and made myself a chocolate orange soufflé for lunch. Its accompaniment, soy sloppy joes. Yes, laugh as you may. This is my…
Orange Ginger Chippers
How many times have you gone to a family reunion where Auntie May pinched your cheeks and recollected upon days gone by? Well, in that spirit, I remember when chocolate chip cookies were just cookies; plain and simple hit-the-spot goodness when paired with a glass of milk. While I heart those puppies, I have a…
Shiny Happy Cookies
Today I made my first double chocolate cookies since the reign of this blog. As I’d suspected, the key to a full bodied chocolate flavor in a cookie is derived from melted chocolate in the batter. These cookies are chocolatey goodness with a crispy outside and a chewy center. They’d be perfect for midnight snacking…
Banana Espresso Chip Muffins
Every day at about 3pm it kicks in. My major sweet tooth attack is like clockwork. I can’t do much about it, and a sip of diet Coke just doesn’t cut it. Yesterday my remedy was a delicious banana espresso chip muffin. It was perfectly moist, firm yet delicate, and most definitely sweet. Since I…
Pump it!
Since I had pumpkin left over from the roll I made yesterday, I decided to make a figure friendly yet decadent muffin for snacking. This muffin is a combo of many recipes I perused this morning. Let’s just say it is exactly what I was hoping for. Delicious, loaded with vitamin A, and packing a…
Chocolate Crinkles, the next dimension
Since it’s Monday, that means I’m baking up some goodies to send to work with Husband tomorrow. Today’s main item is Chocolate Crinkle Cookies, but I’ve taken some liberties with them. Still not an über chocolaty cookie, it’s still pretty tasty. I’m convinced that the only way to get the decadent, rich, chocolate king of…
