Well a few weeks back I was at a dinner party at a friend's house. He invited me over and mentioned that he was going to be cooking the dinner. He also asked me to bring my glass baking dish...I rode my bike over early with the dish because I knew he would have to use it to cook the dinner. Well, I looked at the recipe, discussed it with him a bit (stuffed peppers) and realized that I would be … [Read more...]
A Farmers’ Market Breakfast
So I still haven't been baking much lately, but I thought I'd write about my trip to the Fayetteville Farmers' Market this morning. My last roommate and I had this tradition where we would wake up early on Saturday mornings, go to The Little Bread Company for breakfast (cappuccinos and muffins [me] or blueberry danish [Jessi]), then go to the farmers' market. We would walk around it a few times, … [Read more...]
German Chocolate Macaroons
Umm yeah that's right! I just made the best cake ever into a cookie!I don't mean to sound so one-note lately, but I can't get macaroons off my mind. I drastically changed the classic coconut macaroon into a German chocolate creation. I made the standard batter, used almond meal instead of flour, stirred in dark chocolate chips, and topped them with a pecan before popping them into the oven. Ooey … [Read more...]
Fail…
I just want to say, I have been baking this week, but it's been pretty much a failure. I've had a rough week and I think it has translated into my baking. I made some lemon-strawberry muffins but they didn't taste just right. They were okay...but not perfect. I also attempted macarons again and failed miserably (worse than round one!) so I didn't even take a picture. I will try again. I think the … [Read more...]
The Cake Stands Alone
I recently bought a new cookbook for three reasons:1. The picture of coconut macaroons is beautiful2. There is a recipe for cupcakes that uses Bailey's Irish Cream and Guinness beer... need I say more?3. Almost every cake in the book have no frostingI am a frosting girl to the core. I've always been the one who wants the corner piece of cake because it has more frosting, and I always scrape the … [Read more...]
Cranberry and Dark Chocolate Biscotti
In case you haven't noticed, I love dark chocolate and cranberry together. I was searching through recipes and was just about to pound out some scones...and then my mind wandered to the dark chocolate that is in my freezer and I decided that I needed to make biscotti.Well, now I'm sick to my stomach. No! Don't get me wrong, these are delish...but here's what happened:So I mix the dough and its … [Read more...]
White Chocolate Pecan Cookies
Well, I'm done with finals, which means I am officially on summer vacation! Yay...time to bake! Well, I've been getting requests from friends for me to share my goods with them, so I've decided to bake cookies to share. I usually only make 1/2 batches of everything because I know I can never eat it all, and I end up taking a bite and then throwing the rest in my freezer (yes, my freezer is full of … [Read more...]
R.I.P.
I'd like to ask for a moment of silence, please.My mind mush has just created devastating consequences concerning my kitchen. Today, my stoneware casserole baking dish...died. I was not thinking and forgot to turn off my stovetop burner, and when I pulled my dinner out of the oven, left the dish sitting on the burner. I didn't even realize it was still on until I smelled the stench of burning … [Read more...]
Pretzels!
Yes, I made homemade pretzels today! I have no idea why, don't ask.So I had a few more pictures than this but my camera decided to hate me and delete them. Great, another electronic device that has it out for me.Anyway, this was so simple and I regret not doing this earlier. I also regret not having a super cheesy sauce to dip these in.Last night I went ice skating with my peeps (!) and did a bit … [Read more...]
Coconut Macaroons
Do you know what I absolutely do not understand? The concept that baffles me?? How, exactly, people can hate coconut! And there's so many of them! I have trouble listing any of my friends that love coconut and I don't get it! Did you have a terrible childhood? Did you never turn out your pockets and find a melted Almond Joy? No Pina Colada? No Mocha Coconut Frappuccino?? No love? That's right, it … [Read more...]
