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 PostWhen I first started to get a little crazy about baking in college I asked for this Martha Stewart Baking Handbook cookbook for Christmas. I used it quite a bit at the beginning as evidenced by the flour crusted on the front cover and bits of food scattered on some of the pages. Sadly, I [...] By CarrieZ |
Print This PostA good friend of mine makes jam every year and brings me a few jars when we see each other. It is so much better than store bought! The last time she was in Amarillo, she brought me 2 jars of blueberry jam. I used one of those jars in these cookies. These cookies are delicate, [...] By CarrieZ |
Print This PostMy sister Sarah is visiting us for a few days in Amarillo. She got me this cookbook, America’s Best Lost Recipes, for my birthday. One of the recipes that caught her eye when she looked through it was this peach puzzle. We had no choice but to try it out when she was here. It’s basically like [...] By CarrieZ |
Print This PostThese sweet little pastry packages are lovely. Pre-made puff pastry makes this a dessert that requires very little hard labor in the kitchen. Assembling these pastries is not exactly a breeze, but they are worth it. I found this recipe hidden in Fine Cooking from August of 2010. It is the “Letter from the Editor” section [...] By CarrieZ |

This will explain why the only pictures of the night I have are these of the practically devoured leftover [...] By CarrieZ |
Print This PostBlueberries were on sale at my grocery store for $0.99 a pint! I bought 4 pints. While I am more than happy to eat them plain as a snack or as a garnish for my yogurt, I wanted to do something a little more exciting with these sweet little berries. I chose this luscious blueberry [...] By CarrieZ |
Print This PostSummer is coming, and summer calls for light, refreshing summer-y desserts. These lemon blueberry cheesecake bars blend the perfect amount of sweetness, tartness, richness, creaminess and crunchiness. You could probably use any berry with good results. I love the combination of lemon and blueberry, so these are my kind of dessert bar. They are very sturdy, [...] By CarrieZ |
Print This PostThe moment I saw this challenge I had a sinking feeling in my stomach. Steamed pudding. As in British steamed pudding. Really? And get this. I was supposed to use SUET! Where would I find suet? A better question is, what exactly is suet? The April 2010 Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Esther of The Lilac [...] By CarrieZ |
Print This PostThis afternoon I made these lemon squares from Eatingwell.com. My mom makes the most incredible lemon bars. I could probably eat an entire pan if no one stopped me and if I wouldn’t go into a sugar and butter coma afterward. When I came across this recipe I had to see how it compared to [...] |
