Baked Sunday Mornings: Honey Banana Poppy Seed Bread… with Fluffernutter Drizzle
More bananas. *sigh* Baked Elements has a whole chapter on them, and this is the first Baked Sunday Mornings recipe from the new book using those wretched mushy, slimy things… I was not excited about this. However, I have to admit that the other recent recipe that we made from Baked Explorations, Bananas Foster Fritters, was […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Vanilla Bean & Chocolate Budino
I love me some Italian food, like most sane, interesting people who have a soul. Over the years, I’ve learned a lot about pasta, pizza, and many other aspects of this succulent cuisine, but I admit that when I first looked at the title of this week’s Baked Sunday Mornings recipe for Vanilla Bean & Chocolate Budino, […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Chocolate Ginger Molasses Cookies
I have been having a blast researching Valentine’s Day baking recipes for the past couple of weeks, as this is my first V-Day since beginning this blog. I’ve got some cute stuff coming in the next several days, though this week’s Baked Sunday Mornings recipe, Chocolate Ginger Molasses Cookies from Baked Explorations, didn’t really set off […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Bananas Foster Fritters
A few words to express how I feel about bananas: I would not eat them at the table I would not eat them with an organic label I would not toss them into oatmeal I would not buy a 2-for-1 deal I would not munch them with granola I would not chase them with a […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Soft Candy Caramels
I have never made soft caramel candy before; the thought of this would normally strike fear into my heart and cause shivers down my spine. My mother would likely chuckle at the idea of me working with sugar in the first place– she likes to remind me of the time, when I was a teenager, […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Spicy Brownies
So, funny story… I was having a Facebook conversation with a fellow Baked Sunday Mornings blogger about where to get ancho chile powder for this Spicy Brownies recipe. I was thinking, “I can’t imagine having trouble finding ancho chile powder in this part of the country,” given the ubiquitous Mexican and Southwestern cuisine in California. […]
Late to the Table: Sweet Potato Biscuits
It has been a mighty busy couple of weeks at Stellina– the quantity of butter and eggs that passes through this tiny apartment kitchen is pretty staggering! I’m still catching up on recipes from Thanksgiving, and I just couldn’t pass up posting these Sweet Potato Biscuits. I have been wanting to try Sweet Potato Biscuits for […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: No-Bake Peanut Butter Cookies
I kind of feel like a cheater. “Baked” Sunday Mornings implies that one would theoretically… bake. However, this week’s recipe for No-Bake Peanut Butter Cookies is more “cooked” than baked, like caramel made on the stove. I must say that these chunky little numbers are the easiest cookies I’ve ever made in my life. They are […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Baked Cheese Grits
So. Grits have just revolutionized my dinner repertoire. How have I lived until now?? Honestly, I had no intention of making this recipe. I have never made grits, eaten grits, or purchased grits, and it’s possible that I’ve never even seen prepared grits. My cooking preferences run along the lines of healthy, fresh dishes with […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Caramel Coconut Cluster Bars
Move over, Girl Scout Cookies– you’ve got competition. During my summer visit to BAKED in Brooklyn, I discovered the glory that is Caramel Coconut Cluster Bars. Among the treasure trove of treats that I brought home was this amazing little gem, an homage to the classic Samoa cookie: a layer of gooey, coconut-laced caramel crowning […]
