 Print This PostThe August 2009 Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Angela of A Spoonful of Sugar and Lorraine of Not Quite Nigella. They chose the spectacular Dobos Torte based on a recipe from Rick Rodgers’ cookbook Kaffeehaus: Exquisite Desserts from the Classic Caffés of Vienna, Budapest, and Prague. This challenge really snuck up on me. I guess I could [...] By CarrieZ |
Print This PostPeople actually read and responded my last foodie trivia game! Craziness. I was so excited that I decided to continue my little game. So, here are some more foodie questions…and this time we’re getting serious…there will be an announced prize involved this time.

Print This PostI survived my first 2 days with 6th graders. I realized that I’ve kinda missed teaching. I didn’t miss staying at school for 11 hours, getting home after 6pm, sitting down and realizing just how exhausting it can be to be on your feet all day, well, except for a 25 minute lunch. That’s right [...] By CarrieZ |
Print This PostThese little “cookies” are pretty tasty and incredibly easy to make. Since these cookies are ball shaped they reminded me more of a truffle and less of a cookie. From start to finish, including the 30 minutes chilling time, these were ready in less than an hour. Pretty close to instant gratification. I used a [...] By CarrieZ |

Print This PostEasy weeknight meal #2. This one was quicker than last week’s Mango Shrimp, and cheaper!

There is a little chopping and slicing to do, but [...] By CarrieZ |

Print This PostI made SmittenKitchen’s raspberry buttermilk cake a few weeks ago. The cake was so lovely that I decided to try it with some different additions. Since I had blueberries, half a bag of raw blanched almonds and a tube of almond paste already on hand…that’s what I used. The other ingredients in the cake are [...] By CarrieZ |
Print This PostI got Foodie Fight (please pronounce Fight as you would in Street Fighter) for Christmas last year from my sister. I’m not sure where she found it, but you can find it online. The best price I’ve seen is on Amazon. A new game is as low as $9.25 and the used ones are going [...] By CarrieZ |
Print This PostThe school year is about to begin! My first day of teacher prep began today, so my casual lifestyle with tons of free time is about to come to an abrupt and unpleasant end. Taking 8 months off from work to take a couple of part time jobs was pretty great. It enabled me to [...] |
