This ice cream tastes like Thanksgiving. It tastes like the first sweet potatoes I ever liked served sweet (since I tend to like my sweet potatoes in a quesadilla). You see, last thanksgiving, my mom made the Pioneer Woman’s recipe for sweet potatoes, and they tasted like heaven. They had a streusel-ish topping with pecans. But really, what’s better than a dessert in a side dish’s outfit? Here’s my question: could you serve this ice cream with your…
It’s just not right to turn on the oven when it’s 90° out, and therefore 90° in my flat. I pushed through two oven-heating sides for our BBQ feast Monday; there was no way I was going to be able to make/eat the warm peach goodness I had in mind. But don’t worry, you guys! This is chilly granita tastes just like peach pie! You should probably make this next time you’re craving pie or…
This pull-apart bread is a really good idea. It’s like the sister to cinnamon rolls and monkey bread and those two are my favorite. I made it into two mini loaves. Mini things make pretty fun gifts. Now I just need polka dotted plastic wrap in my life. It’d be the best packaging for this sort of dude. This really is best right out of the oven, but I wouldn’t turn it down if it…
These cookies are crunchy. Turn the volume up on Law & Order, blare the The Kills. They might drown out people when they’re trying to talk to you. They’re rude like that. Their tastiness though, will make you embrace the crunch. And I haven’t tried it yet, but I know that if you dunk these in milk it’ll be a dreamy after-school-type snack. I had to eat one right out of the oven; I wanted…
My mom made all the time when I was growing up. I love the memories as much as I love the cinnamon-sugary goodness. Jake likes this coffee cake because he says it taste like a donut. Basically, if you like happy breakfast memories, cinnamon-sugar, and donuts, you’ll la la love this. P.S. I just want you guys to know that this is one of the best coffee cakes in the whole world. And that’s why…
The fellows from Baked warned me in Baked Explorations about how good this bread is and how it’s easy to eat a lot of it. So, I’ve been waiting to make monkey bread for when a group of people would be over. Our annual Valentine’s brunch party was the perfect occasion! I decided to make minis because I’ve noticed that when people come over they don’t want to work for their food. They don’t want…
Owl you need is love. Who whooooo would you rather have as your Valentine? Owl always love you! Owl always think you’re a major hottie. Hootie hoo. These cookies could be given as Valentines. You could attach notes that say things like those ones up there. Owl bet everyone would really love it. Especially the one where you tell them they’re a major hottie. Did you know that coconut turns into owl feathers in the cookie…
I like molasses, pound cake and polka dots. I like Pioneer Sugar because it’s made in Michigan and I like brown eggs because they’re pretty. I like this Grandma Molasses because it smells good and that chicken bowl because it was my mom’s. I like my slippers, piping dots and parchment paper. I like the sun, windows, and this pound cake’s pretty complexion. And I really like how my house smelled like warm spices while…
I’ve been running out of eggs. Jake’s been eating them for breakfast. So if you’re vegan or if you’re just out of eggs and butter at the time, this is just the thing to bake. This bread is tasty. I’m going to say the allspice has a lot to do with it. The pumpkin doesn’t hurt either. Pumpkin is still my BFF even though it’s winter now. So next time you’re out of eggs or…
Thanksgiving happened! I helped my mom by making the green bean casserole, peeling potatoes, forming the rolls, confirming that turkey was getting a nice bronze tan, and by making this cheesecake. My mom loves cheesecake, so I figured she’d be the perfect lady to hang out with and bake my first real one. I mean, I’ve made mini’s before and cupcakes before, but this was the real deal … 2 pounds of cream cheese, baked…
