Sticky Sweet Springtime: Rhubarb-Vanilla Sauce
If you could distill the brightness, sweetness, and exuberance of springtime fruit into a gooey, drippy, vanilla-flecked sauce, you would do so, yes? (Hint: There’s only one right answer.) I came up with this luxurious Rhubarb-Vanilla Sauce sort of by accident, and I’m gonna say it’s one my favorite accidents in mayyyybe my whole life. I […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Oreo Chocolate Cupcake Shakes
Oreos. Cupcakes. Chocolate ice cream. Three of my favorite things in the world, all blended up into one delicious beverage– I fully support this vision of liquid sustenance. Baked Sunday Mornings is taking on the recipe for Salted Caramel Chocolate Cupcake Shakes from Baked Occasions this week, which sounds great in its own right, but the […]
Puff Pastry Pillows: Spicy Shakshuka Tarts
I love shakshuka and I love puff pastry… so I guess this was bound to happen eventually. I don’t usually cook on this blog, but sometimes we have to rethink things when inspiration takes hold, and this was a recipe that I really wanted to share. I absolutely *adore* savory pastry; in fact, contrary to popular […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Old-School Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
Educators of America, rejoice! At long last, the end of 2016-17 is rapidly approaching– the summer beckons with its lazy mornings and free time and glorious baking projects that I don’t have time for between August and June. Please join me in a resounding: Hallelujah! But first– cookies. Old-School Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies, to be exact. In Baked Occasions, […]
All Buttered Up: Chocolate Chip Toffee Shortbread Bars
For bakers who like to tinker, accidents and failures are a common enough occurrence– mostly annoying, sometimes infuriating, but sometimes triumphant! In the best cases, they are great learning experiences that inform our future baking. (Like that’s any consolation when I’m throwing out four sticks of butter, but yeah, afterwards. 😉 ) Shortbread is one of […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Black Forest Cupcakes
It’s May, which means CHERRIES, and this makes me splendidly happy! All year I dream about cherry season– the day that those sweet, red, stemmed delights appear at the farmer’s market! And every year I squeal with glee when I finally see them in early May; it never gets old. I was so glad that Baked […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Caramel Candy Popcorn Balls
Popcorn and caramel and candy in one treat? Check, check, and check. Baked Sunday Mornings made Caramel Candy Popcorn Balls from Baked Occasions this week to celebrate Administrative Professionals’ Day… Man, I reeeeally wanted to like these. BAKED developed them as a tongue-in-cheek nod to the old-school notion of “secretaries” from decades past. I think they capture this (fortunately) […]
All it’s Cracked Up to Be: Matzah Buttercrunch Ice Cream
Soooo, anyone else have an extra box or two of matzah left over after Passover? I don’t know about you, but I can safely say that every year I have at least a full box left, which I keep around with the intention of making I-don’t-know-what-at-some-point, but hey, there it is the following Passover! This […]
Baker-Tested, Seder-Approved: Matzah Tiramisu Cake 2.0
Two years ago I discovered Robicelli’s Tiramatzu, and Passover has never been the same. Seeing as how I live on the far side of the North American continent from Robicelli’s, I set about figuring out how to make my own version— this thing had to be on my Passover table! I would simply replace the ladyfingers with […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: S Cookies
I’m slowly building my repertoire of Italian pastries, and I’d like to think that I’m getting fairly familiar with a wide array of regional specialties. (I’m even thisclose to finally posting my blog series based on my two recent trips to Italy– this has been literally years in the making.) But S Cookies? Never heard of ’em. […]
