Chocolate chocolate chip zucchini muffins
21 August 2010
Here is a good way to use up those extra zucchini. This is a recipe from the King Arthur Flour website. It's supposed to be a 13x9 inch cake but I made it into muffins and it worked wonderfully. I used a small amount of the King Arthur Flour black cocoa powder, so my muffins were ...
Clear Vanilla Extract
20 August 2010
I agree that pure vanilla extract is usually best. I make my own in fact and it's delicious and so fragrant. But I DO think that clear vanilla extract is a necessity sometimes when you want a pure white color in your cakes or icings. If it's a quality brand, I don't mind the taste of it ...
Pineapple coconut zucchini walnut bread
20 August 2010
This was pretty good quick bread. I think the recipe needs more spice. Not necessarily different spices, just more of the same. I doubled the amount of spice and it was still pretty subtle. Make sure you bake it thoroughly. I always tend to take my cakes & quick breads out ...
Apple Crumb Squares
14 August 2010
I was very disappointed in this recipe. I was certain that these were going to be a hit. But...sigh....they suck. I found the recipe in my lastest Family Circle magazine. So in other words, do not make this recipe! They make look not so bad, but the texture was awful. ...
Crisp Sugar Cookies & decorating sugar cookies
11 August 2010
Before you go getting excited about finding a delicious new crispy sugar cookie recipe, I must tell you that these were not good. In other words, they suck. I thought they looked pretty with their bright purple sparkling sugar (what a waste of good Dean & Deluca sugar) so I took ...
Double Chocolate Cookie Bars
09 August 2010
This is a similar recipe to one I previously posted. I just love these cookies! Super easy to make and so chocolately and delicious! I added a bit more Oreos on top than recipe called for. Everyone loves these treats. Try them! Just make sure they are ...
Oatmeal Fudge Bars
09 August 2010
These oatmeal fudge bars look delicious but honestly, they just didn't do it for me. They were just so so. The surprising thing is, these won the grand prize in a bar cookie contest for Cook's Country magazine. I made a double recipe and baken them in a 13x9 inch pan. Below ...
Banana Bread with Cinnamon Crumble Topping
09 August 2010
This was an excellent banana bread recipe. It turned out to have the perfect amount of banana flavor and was actually light & fluffy & more cake like than quick bread texture. The sprinkle of sugar & cinnamon on top turns into a crisp & sweet topping. The honey was ...
Old Fashioned Chocolate Cake with Glossy Chocolate Icing
09 August 2010
I have mixed feelings about this cake. It is indeed delicious. It's a dark chocolate cake and it's moist and dense without being too sweet. I was excited about making this icing. I have always wanted to find a chocolate icing recipe that resulted in a silky smooth glossy icing. ...
Vanilla Pastry Cream
09 August 2010
It's been awhile since I posted anything. I've been baking up a storm but have recently got a new computer and could not get it up and running. It seems to be working fine now so I have a lot of posting to catch up on! The only reason I made pastry cream is because I had so many egg ...
