These really are my mom’s lemon bars. I’m not sure exactly where the recipe came from, but I think I remember her saying she cut it out of a magazine years ago, like before I was born years ago. Lemon bars are one of my favorite bar cookies. The zesty lemon, the buttery crust, the [...]

A while back I posted that I wanted this cookbook from Baked. So, I armed myself with a Barnes and Noble gift card and went out to fulfill my desire. My plans went awry when they did not have the book in stock. I bought the second cookbook from Baked instead, Baked Explorations. The cookbook [...] August 30th, 2011 | Tags: Apricot, Baked, bar cookie, rosemary | Category: Brownies and Bars, Fruit | Leave a comment This recipe came from a real cookbook. One with pages and everything. America’s Best Lost Recipes. My sister worked at Half Price Books a couple years ago and got her hands on this neat cookbook from the Cook’s Country editors. It contains recipes that have been around for a while that have been shared by home [...] July 25th, 2011 | Tags: Chocolate, coconut, pecans, sheet cake | Category: Brownies and Bars, Cakes, Chocolate | Leave a comment Recently I made these blackberry pie bars again. The recipe is from Rebecca Rather’s cookbook The Pastry Queen. Buy it. This time around I found the bottom crust to be a little on the thick side, and there was an awful lot of filling. These bars are so substantial that they are best eaten from [...] June 19th, 2011 | Tags: bars, Blackberries, blueberries, Pastry Queen, Rebecca Rather, Strawberries | Category: Brownies and Bars, Fruit | Leave a comment You might call them magic cookie bars, or maybe seven layer bars. Whatever you call them they are quite good. These bars require no mixing. Just a little crushing of graham crackers, melting of butter and then layering of ingredients. A mere 25 minutes in the oven and they’re done. This is a great last [...] Oh my. These are decadent. I wish I hadn’t made a full recipe because now they’re calling to me from the kitchen, “Carrie, it’s just one more little piece of goodness. No one will even notice that you ate me…except your jeans! Mwahaha!” I hate you evil brownies. Desserts with which you have a love-hate [...] February 3rd, 2011 | Tags: brownies, Chocolate, cocoa | Category: Brownies and Bars, Chocolate, Desserts | Leave a comment Since I am kind of a hermit these days as a new mommy, I have been raiding my pantry in search of things I can cook or bake with instead of going to the grocery store. I found a jar of lemon curd in there and so I made these bars. My mom makes the [...] December 8th, 2010 | Tags: almonds, coconut, lemon bars, lemon curd | Category: Brownies and Bars, Desserts | 2 comments Oh. My. Good. Gracious. These things are crazy good. And they came about all because of one lonely jar of chunky natural peanut butter that had been stashed in the back of my pantry for a while. He was reaching the end of his shelf life on November 8, 2010. I bet this jar of [...] November 3rd, 2010 | Tags: bars, Chocolate, natural peanut butter | Category: Brownies and Bars, Chocolate, Desserts | 3 comments I was tempted to not even post this recipe since these bars did not photograph very well. But Ben brought some of the more attractive specimens up to work, and apparently they were devoured within an hour. Some people at work asked for the recipe, and Ben assured them I would be posting on the [...] October 23rd, 2010 | Tags: bar cookies, Caramel, fall, oats, Pumpkin | Category: Brownies and Bars, Desserts | One comment My friend Jackie made these for my baby shower this past weekend. She has made them before, so I knew what I was in for. These bars are pretty incredible. Everyone loved them, and a lot of people asked for the recipe. The recipe is from a Nestle cookbook that Jackie owns. I found it [...] |
