Back by popular demand: Chocolate Chip Espresso Biscotti! This weekend Husband and I are attending one of our favorite events of the year, a cookie open-house. Imagine hours of relaxing surrounded by plates and plates, platters, and pots full of every type of cookie imaginable…and then some, shooting the breeze with good friends, filling up…
Apple Gingerbread Muffins
With one small Red Delicious in the refrigerator, I had to think pretty small scale for this month’s challenge. I’ve hit the muffin jackpot with this one: the apple gingerbread cupcake. This gem of a muffin has warm spicy tones highlighted by tender chunks of apple throughout. The muffin is moist and delicate, with warm…
(Almost) Fat-free Vegan Lemon Pie
My husband LOVES lemon pies. He cannot get enough of them. To make his day cheerier and try a daring new recipe, I baked for him (and work colleagues) an almost fat-free vegan lemon pie. The original recipe comes from Susan at Fat Free Vegan, who shares this recipe, alongside another for calamondin pie. Her…
Cheesecake Thumbprints
What’s the easiest way to use up cream cheese icing? Make it into the creamy cheesecake filling for these delicious cheesecake thumbprints, of course! I had loads of leftover cream cheese frosting from the red velvet loaf, and refused to see it go to waste. Husband, of course, had “better” ideas of how to use…
Red Velvet, If You Please
Having grown up in the Midwest, I have no memories of having red velvet cake. Since the southern classic is a must for all bakers, last week I hit it with my best shot. (The lyrics take over sometimes, sorry.) The moist cake is most popular for it’s bright rosy hue, and in my book,…
‘Tis the Season for Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream
This month’s Flavor of the Month is celebrating autumn’s favorite vegetable: pumpkin. When I saw Bridget had posted this theme, I smiled as I came to the exciting realization that this was my perfect opportunity to try cooking with fresh pumpkin. Many thanks to Bridget for encouraging this, as I’m very pleased to tell you…
Fig Cinnamon Streusel Coffee Cake
For Father-in-Law’s birthday celebration, we took him out. “Out?” you say, “What’s so great about that?” Well, this was a huge event for us. You see, F-i-L has been pretty much bedridden for nearly two years and has not peered past his own fence but in an ambulance. Needless to say, we (and Brother-in-Law) were…
Tiramisu Cake
This weekend was full of birthday celebrations and C-A-K-E! We celebrated Grandpa-in-Law’s 76th, Dad-in-Law’s 47th, and through a long-distance call wished Dad’s a happy big 5-0! Let’s sing together now, 1-2-3 “Cumpleaños feliz, te deseamos a ti…” “Happy Birthday to you…” One of the great things I love about this month and the ones to…
Dreamy Doughnut Pillows
Have you ever had the experience of biting into a fluffy, airy, sweet, delicate doughnut warm and fresh from your own kitchen? There’s nothing quite like it. As you savor the pillowy pleasure you cannot help but smirk knowing that your own hands lovingly fabricated this jewel of culinary perfection. Dreaming with me yet? Make…
Brownie Chip Muffin Bites
Rush to your pantry, now! Scan the root vegetables lying in the dark bins pleading to leave their shadowy resting places. Carrots? Squash? Zucchini? Any of those catch your eye? Great! Snatch up a large carrot, and a small squash or zucchini, and follow me into the kitchen to make the most rich, chocolatey brownies…
