This challenge sure snuck up on me…like many other Daring Bakers challenges of the past. Thankfully I remembered enough in advance to get this dessert completed in time! We had an option this month to complete one or both of these desserts; ice cream petit fours and baked Alaska. One day I will try baked [...]

 Print This PostSo many components to this dessert! Two ice creams, hot fudge sauce, chocolate cake, whipped cream…and then there’s the assembly process. Whew! When I told Ben all the things I had to do, he said “Can you imagine having to do this when you were still teaching?” Yes, I can imagine that. I would have [...] By CarrieZ |
Print This PostThe June 2010 Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Dawn of Doable and Delicious. Dawn challenged the Daring Bakers’ to make Chocolate Pavlovas and Chocolate Mascarpone Mousse. The challenge recipe is based on a recipe from the book Chocolate Epiphany by Francois Payard. Originally, this recipe didn’t sound summery enough to me. Chocolate upon chocolate just [...] By CarrieZ |
Print This PostA few weeks ago I caught the end of Oprah while on the treadmill at the gym. Her guests were the contestants of the 2010 Pillsbury Bake-Off, and at the end of the show they revealed the winner of the $1,000,000 grand prize. This was the winning recipe, Mini Ice Cream Cookie Cups. These little treats look [...] By CarrieZ |
Print This PostMy mom sent this recipe to me. I discovered in talking with her today that the reason she sent it to me is because she was too scared to try it out herself. I have become the recipe guinea pig, and I am totally OK with that. There’s always a little bit of uncertainty when trying a new [...] By CarrieZ |
Print This PostOur good friends Tim and Jackie had us over for the Saints v. Colts game Sunday night. There was so much food! The spread included black bean chili, queso, chips & salsa, veggies, layered Tex Mex salad, hot wings, and cookies. This is one of the main reasons I love the Superbowl. I brought the yummy layered salad and [...] By CarrieZ |
Print This PostFirst thing’s first…I cheated. I did not make the graham wafers. I am a terrible person. I promise to make them another time, pinky promise! I just did not have the time. Well, that is only partially true. I could have had the time if I’d actually looked at my January commitments and planned ahead. [...] By CarrieZ |
Print This PostA while back I lost my Canon camera in a horrific flood. A water bottle mysteriously opened in my purse, drowning and destroying my camera. Anyway, for a while I took pictures with my iPhone. Not spectacular, but sufficient photos. Then, Ben bought me a Sony camera that has served me well for the last [...] By CarrieZ |
Print This PostThese little, unassuming bite-size goodies made quite an impression last weekend. I brought them to a Christmas party where they were completely devoured and raved about. I saw one of the party guests 2 days later and she asked me for the recipe. I hadn’t had such a great response to a dessert in, well…ever! I [...] By CarrieZ |
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 [...] |
