If you’re on the hunt for a fall dessert to feed a small crowd, this is it: Chocolate- Chip Pumpkin Spice Bars.
Use a fork to consume. You can see that they’re really rather more like a cakey-bar than a hold-in-your-hand-and-firmly-grasp-it bar. But you can also tell from the pic that these are incredibly moist (happily [...]
The Daring Bakers: Lavash Cracker’s Challenge!
Since Fall is in full swing, I added a little autumn-goodness to my Daring Baker challenge this month… Fresh Cranberry Jam. About this time last year I had wanted to make some things with fresh cranberries and found that in early fall you can only find those little guys tucked [...]
This time of year I begin dreaming of apples. Granny Smith, Pink Lady and Gala are among my favorites. On fall weekends, my family is thrilled to wake to the scent of apple waffles or cider muffins. Homemade applesauce usually finds its way into our refrigerator. And afternoons might find me experimenting with apple pie [...]
Many flavors evoke the sense of the arrival of fall, but Maple is the flavor that most does it for me. At this time of year, I long to visit a region where maple is abundant… where maple farmers are tapping maple trees for sap in order to make fresh maple syrup. Instead, I must [...]
Happy Hour is made happier with a few desserts slipped in. Here were the choices for our recent neighborhood gathering (fall flavor influences evident!)
Apple Harvest Blondies “Most Eaten”
Though not the prettiest dessert of the bunch, these were terrible popular. They tasted like an apple cake with small chunks of cream cheese melted within. Delicious!
Caramel- Pecan [...]
It’s tough to think much about fall when it’s 80+ degrees outside and we’re still spending weekends at the beach. The only thing that really denotes *fall* here in Southern California is that school has begun. Luckily, fall foods begin surfacing in our markets, helping to remind us that there is indeed a change of [...]
Peanut butter lovers… this one’s for YOU!
Ah, Tyler Florence… he’s one of those chefs that I actually *watch* on Food Network… sometimes because he’s just easy-on-the-eyes, and sometimes because he’s making something droolworthy like these Cold Sesame Noodles.
Chinese egg pasta is tossed with a peanut buttery sauce to create a creamy Asian-style noodle dish. Cool, [...]
Dry.Crumbly.Eat it now or it will soon turn into an inedible mass that you’ll need to dip in your coffee to soften enough for consumption.
Those are the thoughts that flash through my mind when I think of scones. So I rarely make them… unless I can eat them now or serve them soon after removing [...]
Do you wish to live until the ripe-old-age of Ninety Three? I’d say if you make it that far, you’ve lived a good, long life. I can only hope that I’ll be living well into my nineties, still cooking up a storm, food blogging with ninety-three-year-old wisdom, and basking in the joy of numerous grandchildren. [...]
Salad can make for a rather boring blog post. But three salads have to be a bit more intriguing and droolworthy, right?
Here are three salads I tried this summer that have made it onto our *keeper* list.
Five Minute Salad: Goat Cheese, Herb and White BeanTrue to it’s name, this salad is simply mixed greens, cherry [...]
Our good friend Jerry has a chocolate company called Jer’s Handmade Chocolates. His company has one of those really great stories about how it was founded, and it sure has been fun seeing his company grow. One of his most popular chocolates is the Pretzo Change-O, a candy that incorporates baked pretzel bits and peanut [...]
Quick! There’s still time to make this with those end-of-summer, disappearing berries!
This Layered Berry Trifle is an easy-to-throw-together dessert. You don’t have to own a trifle bowl, but if you can find some sort of pretty, tall glass bowl- that works too. The recipe layers store-bought pound cake (or homemade if you’re so inclined) [...]
