 Print This PostHappy Halloween! I made these cookies for the trick-or-treaters at Ben’s office. I thought they would be more fun than little bags of candy, and too cute for words. I also thought they would be quick and easy. Cute, yes. Quick and easy, kinda. This Halloween treat can be made in a day, but I spread [...] By CarrieZ |
Print This PostThere is something very special in store for the trick-or-treaters at BMWB this Friday! To prepare for this treat, I had to make some chocolate sugar cookies.

She chose macarons from Claudia Fleming’s The Last Course: The Desserts of Gramercy Tavern as the challenge recipe.

Print This PostLast week I made 3 batches of blondies hoping to create something irresistibly delicious. I originally planned on making a Candy Bar Blondie with a variety of candy bars chopped into chocolate chip sized pieces. I used a basic blondie recipe and then just replaced the chips and buts with the candy pieces. Attempt #1 resulted in a [...] By CarrieZ |
Print This PostVegetables are so versatile. They can be enjoyed raw, roasted, steamed, fried, sautéed, boiled, and surely a few ways I’ve neglected to mention. One of my favorite things about vegetables is that they can be enjoyed as a savory side dish, an entrée or in a sweet baked good. The butternut squash in this cake adds moisture and [...] By CarrieZ |
Print This PostStep aside Marie Callendar. Your frozen pot pies, while delicious and a snap to bake, cannot hold a candle to these truly delicious and homemade chicken pot pies. Yum.
