I was excited to see Diane from Diane Dishes select Florida Pie for this weeks Tuesdays with Dorie. I love key lime pie and limes so I knew this would be good. It was pretty easy but my crust didn’t seem to come together. I think I needed more butter to bind it together and…
I know, I have been away for awhile. Work sort of sidelined my blogging and cooking time. But I have a new little favorite to share with you. After working all day I want to come home and make something quick. I saw Giada cooking a Fusilli Caprese Pasta and it gave me the inspiration…
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…
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. She is from Australia, my second most favorite place (after Italy of course). Last year 149 bloggers participated. I…
I was so excited when I realized that the Ali of Divine Domesticity had listed my Malted Milk Chocolate Cheesecake on Blissfully Domestic. I am a new blogger – so the little things excite me. What can I say! It is a great site, especially if you are blissfully married so go check it out…
It is another Tuesday so you know what that means – another new challenge. For this week’s Tuesday with Dorie challenge Mary, from Starting from Scratch, gave you the choice of The Most Extraordinary French Lemon Cream Tarte or the Fresh Orange Cream Tart. I think we have established I like lemon, but I love orange equally! My favorite…
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. I finally decided that the Malted MIlk Cheesecake might recreate the flavor. I recruited my niece and nephews…
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…
For this weeks Tuesdays with Dorie challenge, Leigh at Lemon Tartlet picked Gooey Chocolate Cake. After participating in several more complicated events, I breathed a sigh of relief at this one. I have served many molten cakes to my guests. So this weekend I put the ingredients together and gave it a try. I ran out…
I am excited to share with you my first Daring Bakers entry. This group of bakers has grown to over 600 members and each month take on a new baking challenge. These different blog events have really challenged me to try things I normally will not consider and I can see my baking abilities improving….
