Another Tuesday and another Dorie recipe. This week Caitlin of Engineer Baker chose Fluted Polenta and Ricotta Cake. The great thing about these challenges is that I am trying new recipes. In the original recipe it calls for figs. Well, if you know how picky of an eater I am, you know those went out [...]
Cheesecake Pops

For this months Daring Bakers Challenge Elle and Deborah selected Cheesecake Pops. They are little cheesecake morsels on a stick, dipped in chocolate and decorated how you wish. They are very rich and they would have to be served straight out of the freezer. I fear they would fall off the stick on a warm [...]

So I am back from my business trip and it is another Tuesday with Dorie. This week Amanda from slow like honey selected Bill’s Big Carrot Cake. I have never understood carrot cake – I like my desserts veggie free but I was up for the challenge. The recipe was super easy to put together [...]

When I read that Barbara was hosting a LiveSTRONG with A Taste of Yellow 2008 event I knew I wanted to participate. She created the event last year to raise awareness and is fighting cancer herself.

Easter Candy was the ingredient for this month’s MasterBaker event. I know, Easter has come and gone. What can I say it has been busy at work! One of my favorite treats are the malted milk eggs.

Angel Hair Pasta with Lemon Sauce
April 4, 2008 By 6 Comments
You may have noticed that I love lemons and am always drawn to recipes featuring lemons, especially Meyer Lemons. On my first visit to Italy I went down to Positano, this beautiful coastal town on the Amalfi Coast. Lemons are part of the region. Limoncello is from that region and in every restaurant lemons were [...]

I have served many molten cakes to my guests. So this weekend I put the ingredients together and gave it a try. I ran [...]
