The Cheesecake Factory is full of memories for me. My best friend and I used to down endless loaves of soft, warm, complementary bread loaves, enjoy a hearty meal, and then somehow find room for The Cheesecake Factory’s (T.C.F.) spectacular namesake. Fast forward a few years to the newly wedded years: I introduce Husband to…
Cookie Dough Brownies (& Ice Cream!)
What is better than a pan of rich chocolate brownies? Cookie dough-topped brownies, of course! These brownies are delicious, and even more so when cut into bite-sized chunks and tossed into homemade cookie dough ice cream. I highly recommend making a batch of these, cutting half into small pieces to share, and hoarding the remaining…
Imported Flavor
Last week, I had a carton of rock-hard nectarines at my disposal, and no great ideas for how to ripen them without them turning into mushy brown-fleshed ickyness. Longing for “home-style” desserts, I opted to make a cobbler out of these potentially juicy, sweet fruits. Thankfully, the unconventional method of preparation for the cobbler recipe…
Berry French
Yesterday’s dessert of choice was a new one for me. I’d never eaten nor baked a clafoutis, but the experience was worth it. This dessert is the most basic mix of butter, flour, sugar, fruit, and love. Nothing so simple has ever been quite so good….except perhaps creme puffs. If you have 5 minutes, you…
Dorie’s (Inebriated) Banana Bundt
A couple of Couchsurfing friends invited us over to dinner last night, requesting we bring a cake. Of course, I was more than happy to oblige, as I love making the most of these opportunities to try new recipes. As most of you I’m sure have experienced, banana cake is an art. Some banana breads…
Disappearing Key Lime Pie
Another recipe with no photos? Yes, I admit it, I’m terrible with the food photography. I forget. Nevertheless, I assure you that this key lime pie is perfect for summer. No-bake (Unless you too opt to make the graham crust from scratch.) Cold and citrusy = perfect summer pairing Five minute prep Recipe makes 2…
Honey, do you love me?
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…
