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 [...]
When I was asked to bring fruit to a little gathering of Sunday school ladies, I don’t know if this is what she had in mind. But I’d been itching to make a proper dessert for a while, so this is what I brought. Beats the pants off of a fruit salad, I’d say. Making pastry [...]
When I came across this recipe I practically ran to the kitchen to begin making it. I took out a stick of butter, 2 eggs and buttermilk to bring them to room temperature. Since my little guy was asleep, I couldn’t make it to the store to get the one ingredient I lacked…fresh peaches. So [...]
In my quest for a patriotic dessert to make in honor of the Fourth of July, I came across many that utilize summer’s bounty of red and blue berries. It just wasn’t the Fourth as a kid without a flag cake! This red, white and blue dessert is a bit fancier than flag cake, and [...]
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 [...]
The past week has been a very eventful and exciting one. A week ago today, we headed to the hospital to welcome this little guy into the world. Despite his surprise arrival eight days early, we could not be happier that he is finally here. Since the arrival of Carson, I haven’t been doing much [...]
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 [...]
When 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 [...]
A 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 [...]
My 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 [...]
