Well, I have tackled Round One with Froyo! I decided that for my first attempt at ice cream, I’d actually like to make its lighter cousin: frozen yogurt. With several recipes telling me different things, I also decided to start by making up a recipe of my own. Pretty brave for the first attempt at making ice cream, dontcha think?When I was a kid, I remember getting so excited to visit my … [Read more...]
Happy Birthday To Me!
Yesterday was my birthday! And due to it being my birthday, I'm going to do a post that is out of the ordinary and use personal pictures that have actual people in them! But don't get too used to this! For my birthday, I wanted my mom to make my cake, just like when I was younger. Instead of my usual chocolate cake with chocolate-fudge frosting, however, I was in the mood for my grandma’s coconut … [Read more...]
Birthday Week Baking Begins!
A bit of birthday-week baking has begun. Today I decided to make apple cupcakes with butterscotch cream cheese frosting. Why yes, that does sound good, doesn’t it? I drove from Fayetteville to my parents’ house yesterday, all the while brainstorming which baking endeavors I would tackle during my week here. I knew that my birthday might be busy and I may be spending the weekend partying with my … [Read more...]
One Last Hurrah
As if it weren't obvious, I haven't been able to bake or blog lately. I've been caught up in some emotionally devastating...shit...for lack of a better word. I am no longer in nursing school (to make a terribly long story short) and have started soul searching within the last couple days. I am having to think about what I want for my life and my future, and all I know is that I have a family that … [Read more...]
Breakfast For All
Well I’ve had a rough weekend. I’ve been kind of down-and-out lately so I can only think of one thing to do, and that’s bake my sorrows away. My medicine of choice is a double-hitter of cranberry-lemon mini muffins and raspberry-oat granola bars. I figure I can use my new achievement of shedding a few pounds (go me) as encouragement to not eat all of these and to share these with my classmates, as … [Read more...]
It’s Only the Beginning
I know it's a month early but...happy birthday to me!!! I finally ordered and received my new stone casserole pan. Do you know how happy this makes me? Take a second and reflect on how down-in-the-dumps I was when my stone pan shattered...Now, think about how happy you get when you get something shiny and new, and it's beautiful and everything you've been waiting for...multiply that by 10 and … [Read more...]
My New Friends: Cinnamon and Sugar
Today I made snickerdoodles...mini sinckerdoodles to be precise. I've been burnt out on chocolate lately and have been wanting a non-chocolate cookie to bring to my classmates. Solution? Cinnamon and sugar! (or lemon...but that's for another day)I decided to use Martha's cookie recipe. I followed the recipe but added a splash of vanilla extract (because a dough without vanilla extract does not a … [Read more...]
Happy Fourth! It’s a Bundt!
I come bearing cake...Another redneck Fourth of July is upon us. I've been out of my usual state of mind due to allergies and school-overload...I call it "school sickness" and I recently described it to a friend as "my psychological illness that goes along with school and includes a cough, tiredness, swollen throat, whine-y disposition, and general hate for all people that are happy." I got a … [Read more...]
Belgian Brownie Break
Back to school, back to school. Sigh. I have been in school all day, every day this week and have been breathing, eating, and sleeping Critical Care Nursing. I've desperately wanted to bake but have found zero time until today. After coming back from class a bit after 3:00pm and taking a much-needed nap, I started flipping through cookbooks for brownie recipes. Now, I'm not a big brownie fan (is … [Read more...]
Catching Up With Banana Bread
Well, I have had a very busy last couple weeks. Between organizing my closet, taking some pictures off my wall, watching season 4 of Weeds on DVD, and doing homework, it’s obvious why I haven’t had the time to bake anything! Not to mention a weekend jaunt to Colorado for my cousin’s wedding. The wedding was small, set in the mountains, and involved lots of descent food and obscure family members. … [Read more...]
